CM Punk provided an injury update Saturday and how long he expects to be sidelined, and it could be longer than initially believed.
Speaking with Caroline Pearce of TNT Sports backstage at UFC 298, CM Punk offered up his thoughts on the just-completed MMA PPV, WWE, and of course, his recent injury and recovery.
I’m a clumsy idiot and I tore my left triceps about two years ago so the right one was jealous. I’m like an old car, I’m like a ’72 Nova, you know what I mean? We have to change some parts every now and again. Once we fix up all the parts, the engine is still strong, we’ll still be good to go. We’re thinking maybe six to eight months but I’m not really in a rush to get back to compete, I’m in a rush to get healthy, I’m in a rush to get better and the sooner I do that the better I’ll be when I come back.
Six to eight months would put CM Punk out of action up to and potentially even after SummerSlam. There’s always the very real possibility Punk is working a bit here and padding the recovery time a bit so if he comes back in half the time, it’s a real shock to fans.
Do you think the injury length is legit? When do you think he will return?
