Phillip Jack "Phil" Brooks[4] (born October 26, 1978), better known by the ring nameCM Punk, is an American mixed martial artist, comic book writer, and retired professional wrestler who is signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Punk is perhaps best known for his time in WWE, where he was a two-time WWE Champion, including a 434-day reign from November 20, 2011 to January 27, 2013that is recognized by WWE as the sixth longest of all-time,[5] as well as the longest of the "modern era".[1]
Punk began his professional wrestling career on the American independent circuit, primarily with Ring of Honor (ROH) until 2005, when he signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Throughout his career, he won several championships, including the WWE Championship twice, WWE's World Heavyweight Championship three times, and the ECW and ROH World Championships once each. In WWE, Punk was also a one-time World Tag Team Champion (with Kofi Kingston), and one-time Intercontinental Champion, making him WWE's 19th Triple Crown Champion.
Throughout his career, Punk consistently portrayed the character of an outspoken, sharp-tongued, anti-establishment, straight edge iconoclast. Most of the straight edge principles he portrayed, such as not drinking alcohol or not taking recreational drugs, are his real life views.[6] Depending on his alignment as a hero or villain, he emphasized different aspects of the straight edge culture to garner the desired audience reaction.[6]
After retiring from professional wrestling in 2014, Punk pursued a career in mixed martial arts and was signed by the UFC in December of that year. His first professional fight took place on September 10, 2016, at UFC 203 against Mickey Gall, where he lost via submission in the first round.
