At the end of August, one of AEW’s bigger tag teams had one of it’s members become a free agent. Bobby Fish of reDRagon and the Undisputed Elite is now free to do whatever he wants in the industry, which is something he’s been wanting from the start. While still very open to working with AEW – he’s got his eyes on some kickboxing fights, and in particular has called out CM Punk for a fight.
Tony Khan Is A Hard Man To Get On TV Days
Fish would describe one of the main reasons for wanting out of his AEW contract on his podcast. Simply put, he’s been trying to get Khan to okay a fight – but he’s a hard man to get ahold of, especially on TV days. Fish would be quoted saying the following.
“Truth be told, since May, I have tried to get Tony Khan to sit down with me no less than five times to ask permission to do a kickboxing fight. It was actually something that I talked with other people in the company about, but I could never nail Tony down. In Tony’s defense, he’s a busy man, especially on TV days. It is what it is. I wanted permission to do a fight. I couldn’t get there with Tony. Now, it’s no secret, I don’t need anyone’s permission at this point.”
Bobby Fish Is Down To Fight CM Punk
Upon learning about the recent backstage fight, with Punk telling anyone who has an issue to come to him – Fish would have the following to say.
“I’ll indulge. Let’s just make this a formal invitation to Phil (CM Punk). I’m down. If that’s the direction he wants to go, he can pick the time, the place, we can do it in Chicago. It can be boxing, kickboxing, MMA. We can do this bare knuckle. Whatever sounds good to Phil. He can pick the weight, the place, let’s make it official. Phil, LET’S FUCKING GOOO!”
Going deeper, Fish would rip into the lack of striking ability from Punk – and how he wasn’t shocked to hear Punk wasn’t trying to throw kicks during the backstage fight.
“They’re atrocious. You heard on the sheets, he came out throwing haymakers, he didn’t come out throwing kicks. He ain’t hitting anybody with those.”
Would CM Punk win a kickboxing fight against Bobby Fish, or would it go like his UFC debut? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
