2. Green Power Ranger Wants To Fight CM Punk In UFC

During a recent appearance on Primo Nutmeg podcast, Green Power Ranger noted that he still wants to fight CM Punk. Below is what he said:

“They would love it. If Punk fights again, everybody at the base, everybody that owns UFC wants me to fight him. If he fights again, that’s definitely something I would like to do. I got a chance to visit some of the WWE guys backstage at their shows, it’s much like the UFC. I’m not talking about the fighting, but the energy everyone puts into the show. One way or another I’d like to get involved with WWE or UFC just to please the fans.

For me I’ve been fighting my whole entire life, I could do it tomorrow if I want. It’d just have to make sense why we’re doing it. What I mean by makes sense is not financially, because I’d fight CM Punk for a dollar. I would do a Power Ranger movie for nothing, I’m not financially hurt. What I’m say is if it makes sense for my fan base. Do my fans say, ‘Yes that’s what I’d like to see. Yes, I’d like to see him in Bloodshot. No I don’t like that thing he did.’ I always like going back to the fans, thinking ‘Is this something they want?’ That’s what I mean about making sense, it’s not about money at all.

CM Punk, for him it makes sense on a financial level but I’m super different from most of these people out there. I don’t care about the money, that’s why I’ve said from day one that I’d fight him for a dollar just to make the contract equal. I think that installed so much confidence in me that that scared him. Like ‘Why does this guy want to fight me for a dollar? I’m going to get my butt kicked.’ That’s kind of what happened to be honest.”
