It appears CM Punk has found his first opponent in the UFC.
This punk is going to be 'one & done' in the UFC. It looks like I will be that one.

At this point it's unclear if Pendred and Punk are officially destined to square off in the Octagon, or if this is just the Irishman's way of drumming up mainstream publicity. The waters get even murkier when you consider Pendred is scheduled to face Sean Spencer at a Fight Night event in January.
The 27-year-old welterweight sports a 15-2-1 MMA record (2-0 in the UFC), and was a member of Team Penn during season 19 of "The Ultimate Fighter."
