Duke Roufus, who trains and coaches WWE superstar-turned-mixed martial artist CM Punk, says the pro wrestler is awaiting a fight agreement.
Punk infamously signed with the UFC back in 2014, but injuries kept his octagon debut delayed until 2016, when he lost to welterweight prospect Mickey Gall at UFC 203 by first-round submission.
While no opponent has been named as of Tuesday, the 0-1 Punk, whose real name is Phil Brooks, will probably be matched up with another inexperienced fighter without the potential of his last opponent.
Roufus posted a picture on Instagram on Tuesday of Punk and fellow RoufusSport fighter John Makdessi and hinted at a UFC return for both men.
Makdessi hasn’t fought since a spectacular first-round knockout loss to Lando Venatta at UFC 206.
Onetime UFC fighter and MMA photographer Mike Jackson, who also lost to Mickey Gall in his debut, took to Twitter shortly after the news of Punk’s possible return to call the former WWE star out:

Do you expect to see CM Punk back in the cage? If he does, who would be a respectable opponent you’d like to see him fight for his second professional MMA bout?

Roufusport along with head-coach Duke Roufus is facing a wrongful death lawsuit per a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The lawsuit stems from a kickboxing event promoted by Roufusport back in March 28th of 2014 at the Milwaukee’s Eagles Club, where 24-year-old Dennis Munson Jr. passed away shortly after competing on the card due to complications from head trauma. The event was run by Roufusport gym management, where Munson trained.
During the time of the event boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) were regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services, however, kickboxing was not. That all changed after Gov. Scott Walker signed a law into effect on March 1st regulating and sanctioning kickboxing competition.
The report also suggests that Munson struggled to cut eight pounds necessary to make the 135-pound weight limit. Weigh-ins were held early the same morning of the bout.
Online court records indicate a wrongful death suit was filed on Tuesday (March 21, 2017) by Munsons’s family at the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, who are listed as the plaintiffs. Defendants in the case are listed as head-coach Duke Roufus, Scott Joffe who co-promoted the event, ringside doctor Carlos Feliciano, referee Al Wichgers, coaches Scott Cushman and Joe Nicols, Roufusport Acadamy, the Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund, and two insurance companies.
The Munson family’s lawsuit claims the defendants showed negligence, maliciousness and deliberate indifference.

Former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star CM Punk has come and gone in the UFC’s Octagon, when he got his opportunity to perform on the grandest stage in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) when he took on Mickey Gall for his first professional fight.
Punk had spent nearly two years in preparation for the career switch, choosing one of the premier camps the sport has to offer in Roufus Sport to guide him through his new career. ‘The Cult Of Personality’ was called out by impressive welterweight prospect Mickey Gall on an episode of Dana White’s Lookin For A Fight after winning his own first pro MMA bout.
Gall would officially earn the chance to welcome Punk to the Octagon when he submitted Michael Jackson in the first round of their meeting at UFC Fight Night 82 via rear-naked choke. Punk and Gall finally met under the bright lights of the main card of UFC 203 live on pay-per-view (PPV), and the result was what many in the MMA community expected.
Gall took Punk down with ease in the opening seconds of the round, and would smooth his way into locking in a rear-naked choke to force the former professional wrestling star to tap out.
Punk’s head-coach Duke Roufus was in his fighter’s corner for the event, and the transcription for his comments to Punk before, during, and after the contest (courtesy of Bloody Elbow):
Pre-fight:
Roufus: “You got this. I’m so proud of you now. Now remember, keep moving forward. Let’s go for that right hand right away [and] put him on his ass. If it don’t work, put him on the cage. You got this!”
First minute of fight:
Roufus: (CM Punk throws the right hand right away, gets taken down instead) “Alright. Good guard. Breathe. (Corner 2: “Close your guard!”) Relax, relax. Defend. Good, tie him up, tie him up, tie him up. Tie him up, Punk. There you go! (Corner 2: “Work all the way up!) Work the other hand, get the underhook. Underhook, Punk. I need left underhook, Punk! Left underhook. Turn, turn, get that underhook, Punk! Turn into him. On your right hip! On your right hip! On your right hip! (Gall briefly mounts Punk, but Punk turns on his right hip and momentarily escapes.) There you go.”
1:01 – to end of fight (2:14):
Roufus: “There you go, good. Fight the wrists. Hang in there, you’re doing good. Breathe, inch-by-inch. Control the wrist. Control that wrist, you’re good. Good. (Corner 2: “Breathe, you got this.) There you go! You’re good. Fight the hand again. Turn, turn, turn! Other way! Gotta turn the other way, son. (CM Punk turns to his left, has his back taken, flattened out, and takes ground-and-pound from Gall) Move, move! Come up, come up. Gotta roll, gotta roll. Gotta move! You’re good. (Corner 2: “Move, Punk, move.”) Let’s make a move, make a move. (Gall attempts the rear-naked choke) Fight the choke, fight the choke. Fight. Peel the top hand, good, good. Peel the top hand! Good. Peel the top hand. Top hand, Punk! Reach up, both hands (CM Punk taps) awwww. That’s alright. Yup.”
Post-Fight:
Roufus to Punk: “Hey, it’s alright buddy. You did good, alright? It’s all good. All good. Alright? It’s all good, man.”
Roufus to Gall: “Hey Mickey, congratulations champ.”
Gall replies to Roufus: “It’s an honor.”
Roufus replies to Gall: “Oh thanks.”
Roufus to Punk: “It’s alright, man. It’s all good, all good man. It’s a fight, shit happens. Put this on.”
