Part three of UFC's four-part Evolution of Punk docu-series, chronicling former WWE champion Phil "CM Punk" Brooks' journey to his first professional mixed martial arts bout at UFC 203 next month, is here.
They cover a lot of ground in this installment, as Punk injures his shoulder & deals with rehab, discusses how he handles online & media critics, takes a Make-A-Wish kid to a Milwaukee comic shop to buy Drax the Destroyer #1, the book he co-writes for Marvel, trains a lot (and for folks like me who were hoping they hand-picked the worst footage for last week's episode to show his progress, there's some evidence of that. He doesn't look like a world-beater, but he looks less like a chump), spends a too-cute Christmas with AJ & Larry and finds out his first opponent will be Mickey Gall.
