What happens when a predominantly successful WWE star makes it into the UFC? The answer to this may not be simple for everyone, but it is simple for Bobby Green. In a recent turn of events, documents from the UFC’s anti-trust safe were leaked online.

Within the documents were the clues to the pay-days of many fighters. This includes big names like Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, and finally, CM Punk. That’s right, Punk who became famous with the WWE made the transition to the UFC for a while and how much did he make? Let’s find out.

CM Punk’s earnings baffle Bobby Green

Bobby Green is a lightweight fighter in the UFC. The last time we saw him in action was when he secured a knockout win against Grant Dawson. Now, we’re seeing him lose it over CM Punk being paid a great amount by Dana White and Co. So what is this amount?

Reportedly, Punk was paid somewhere over a million for a pay-per-view event. This made no sense to Green. He took it upon himself to express his confusion and frustration on Instagram through a comment. But why is it so bizarre for such a thing to happen?

“Aww hell no they gave cm punk a Millie I quit lol” Green wrote. Perhaps, in Green’s eyes, Punk’s UFC career wasn’t lasting or impressive enough. And he’s somewhat correct for Punk only ever fought two matches in his short UFC career before calling for retirement.

First, he took on the young Mickey Gall who took him down pretty much in the very first round. After the submission loss, Punk would stay away from the cage for a solid two years. He would then return against Mike Jackson. He would also lose that fight via unanimous decision. However, the decision would soon be overturned as Jackson would fail a drug test.

Who else was brought to light in the leaked documents?

Among other fighters who had their paydays leaked were Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor. McGregor of course, being at the top of the list earning more than $6 million for his pay-per-view fights. On the other hand Rousey was paid almost $2 million for hers.

Even names like Jon Jones were included in the list of fighters. ‘Bones’ reportedly made who made over $3 million for his pay-per-view appearances. The last time we heard from Jones in a major way was when he dropped out of his fight against Stipe Miocic due to an injury. Does this mean he won’t be making the millions again any time soon? We can only wait to find out.
