Cat Zingano isn’t too happy that CM Punk was given a large payday by the UFC for his recent MMA debut.
And “Alpha” went on social media to defend her feelings.
CM Punk made 500k on his entry fight while the rest of us pay to fight?! Fuck this! Y'all should be ashamed @ufc https://t.co/hVVrspQ3fP

So…do you think the rest of us @ufc fighters came out of the room punching & kicking? We all paid for every penny https://t.co/k9zt395kjM

Zingano makes several good points, but the fact of that matter is that Punk brought a huge name-value with him to the UFC from his days in the WWE. That is why the UFC was willing to give him such financial considerations despite having never competed before inside the cage.
