Tyron Woodley was able to train with CM Punk at Roufousport for a few weeks during the lead up to his last bout. During an appearance at AXS TV's Inside MMA, Woodley says the former WWE star is doing all the right things as he continues working towards his UFC debut:

CM Punk is awesome. He's in there 3 days a week, an hour early to every practice. He's a student of the sport. A lot of people were giving him a lot of crap, but after hanging out with him for 3 weeks I told him, 'Anybody got a problem with CM Punk, you've got a problem with me'.

He's bridging the gap the best way he knows how. For anybody who has been out of martial arts and not in the arena for that long, he's doing exactly what he should do to make up that gap.

He's doing private lessons, 12 to 14 of them a week. He's in there working, and when he gets his fight announced, I can help him as much as I can to get ready for it.
