CM Punk Has Altercation With Fan During MMA Event
CM Punk was involved in a brief altercation with a fan during last night’s Cage Fury Fighting Championship event in Las Vegas.
The incident happened following a match between Christopher Daukaus and Danny Holmes. Punk, who was doing commentary was met with an unruly fan invading his personal space. During the broadcast, you can hear Punk state “Bro, you need to back the f*ck up!”
Punk then dropped his headset, and went to deal with the fan, but was quickly helped by CFFC security, who escorted the fan out of the building.
“We have a minor situation developing here. There was a gentleman that was right on the back of my broadcast partner, and looks like he’s being escorted out of the building,” Punk’s commentary partner stated on the broadcast.
