The MMA section has been severly lacking in traffic these last few months, so I thought I would post this here to garner it some attention.
I know this doesn't pertain to baseball but it's just one MMA post, so it should be fine. And it pertains to Chicago, and there are two MLB teams in Chicago, so there's some correlation between the two.

WWE Champ CM Punk walking out with Chael Sonnen in Chicago at UFC on Fox 2

Chael Sonnen's trash talk over the last couple of years has drawn many comparisons to pro-wrestling-style schtick, and as he continues to market himself with his mouth ahead of his spot on the UFC on Fox 2 card, he'll be drawing from the world of pro wrestling again.
@FrontRowBrian on Twitter first broke news this week that Sonnen would be walking out to the cage with WWE Champion - and Chicago's own - CM Punk for his fight against Mark Munoz later this month, and multiple outlets have since confirmed the plans.
Punk, an avid MMA fan himself, received a massive ovation earlier this year in his hometown during a WWE pay-per-view, and that superstar status in his hometown is likely to come across on Fox when he accompanies Sonnen to the cage.
Penick's Analysis: It's going to add to the spectacle of the UFC's second event on Fox, and if they show the walkouts for all the fights there is likely to be a major reaction in Chicago for this fight. Sonnen is a polarizing figure, but he garners a reaction, and bringing Punk along with him is very likely going to bring the building to a crescendo on January 28. After that, it's up to him in the cage, but he certainly won't be lacking in attention into this one.
