CM PUNK INJURED

ESPN.com is reporting that former WWE champion turned UFC fighter CM Punk has suffered a shoulder injury in training and won't be returning to train for his UFC debut until 10/14 at the earliest after he sees a physician that day.

Punk's coach Duke Roufus said that Punk "got caught in a scramble" and that the injury pushes Punk's schedule as a fighter back one month. Roufus said that Punk is currently 50% ready to fight but won't be allowed to fight by his trainers until he's 101% ready.

Roufus believed Punk was 6-10 months away from debuting.

Punk left WWE in January 2014 and announced he had signed with UFC at the end of last year.
