”Today’s my first day off from a four-week movie shoot,” he continued. “It’s week three, and this is like the first day that I’m off. Prior to that, I was up in Toronto working on a Soska Sisters remake of the legendary Cronenberg film, Rabid. It’s a film I’m working on now. They’re kind of futzing with the title, but I think they’ve settled on ‘Girl on the Third Floor.’ And there’s a whole bunch of other stuff in the queue I’m kinda just working on and working my way through.”
While CM Punk is currently focused on the tasks at hand, he says he still loves MMA and is excited to return to training.
“As soon as I wrap here, I’ll be right back in the gym,” Punk said.
”I think the main difference about how life used to be and how I am now is instead of worrying about what’s next while the current project is going on, I’m more in the moment,” he continued. “I’m enjoying what I’m doing. I think that’s why I love MMA training so much just because you’re there, and you’re not worried about what’s behind. I’m worried about what’s in front of me right now.”
And as for a future MMA fight, be it in the UFC or elsewhere? Well, he’s just not sure at this point. Things will be more clear when he’s wrapped up his current projects.
“I don’t know, I’m focused on this movie right now,” he said. “You’ll have to ask me when we wrap, which is in a couple weeks.”
Do you think we’ll ever see CM Punk back in the MMA cage?
