Can and should a professional wrestler be allowed to just debut with no MMA experience inside the UFC?

Former WWE Superstar and current UFC fighter CM Punk. Going by his post-fight promo, he definitely wants to fight again, and he’s keen to get back into training as soon as possible.
The Bob Holly statement brings up an interesting point that was touched upon.
But whether that’s in the UFC or not remains to be seen. For purists and many fighters, however, signing a guy who has never fought in a pro MMA bout was unconscionable. I’ve been talking with a sports psychologist, and we’ve been working with staying in the present, staying in the moment, staying in my element and just worrying about me. Nobody is gonna pick up the locker room, nobody is gonna clean up after themselves. It was happening when I was there. For that reason alone, while I don’t condone him saying the things he said about me, I want to him do well. “And I’d be like, “yes sir”. Punk was seriously busted up at the end of the fight.
Speaking during an interview with TMZ, McGregor says he has new-found respect for CM Punk, who is not like the other “pussies” from the WWE. Then, he was asked about his wife, former WWE wrestler AJ Lee’s reaction to the fight and Punk had to take a moment to compose himself before revealing “she just said she was proud of me”.
After stepping off the scales to face off with the 24-year-old, Punk completely ignored Gall’s offering. Yesterday there was some added fuel to the fire at the UFC ceremonial weigh-ins that aired on FS1. “I will be back, believe it or not”, Punk said.
Miocic, whose title in in May set off a run of championships in a city that didn’t celebrate one for 52 years, was in big trouble after Overeem caught him on the jaw with a short left. “‘Oh, baseball’s too hard, he’s not going to able to do it”. “I think he should take some time”. My family, my health and my own ambitions had to be placed on the backburner.
FORMER WWE superstar CM Punk promised to be back in the cage despite losing at his mixed martial arts debut Sunday, reported ESPN.
