In a recent interview, former WWE Superstar CM Punk talked about the strenuous weight loss activities that UFC Superstars have to endure in order to qualify for their division.

On the Good Show podcast, Punk revealed what he and his colleagues went through and how he thinks UFC must improve in this aspect.

Yeah, Ive been a part of some pretty silly weight cuts just helping out teammates. I personally had a super hard time, says Punk. I just dialed it down from a long time out because it was something I had never done before so I didnt want to, you know, the week before Im supposed to cut weight, find out anything that I didnt want to find out.

Punk claims that he has a different mindset when it comes to the weight loss part. He preferred to play it slow when he started off at UFC.

I didnt want to be shocked, I didnt want to have to cut 20 pounds in that one week. I kept my weight above 10 pounds above, a week out. So if Im just sitting in the sauna cutting water, I can do it, explains Punk. But some guys, and girls- I think its harder for the women. They take it too extreme. And thats another thing.

Its no secret that UFC fighters undergo insane weight loss treatments.

Some fighters are even made to sit in a sauna wearing rubber suits in order to lose weight quicker. CM Punk addresses this and thinks that UFC has to make a few changes.

How can I say it to you? First and foremost Id love to see other weight classes added to UFC instead of that jump from welterweight 170 to middleweight 185, says Punk. We can get like 175 to 185. Most other weight classes jump up in 10-pound increments but you got that gap right from that 15 pounds. And I think theres a lot of bodies out there that would benefit at more weight classes.

UFCs primary weight classes mean a lot of other weights do not get to compete with each other.

Those that do want to compete have to lose or gain weight accordingly. Maybe UFC needs to cut them some slack as well by introducing more weight classes. What do you guys think about this interesting suggestion?
