Former NFL linebacker and UFC fan Shawne Merriman was asked about CM Punk making the transition from the WWE to Ultimate Fighting during a "FOX Sports Live" appearance on Tuesday night.

Merriman’s response, however, was reminiscent of a WWE promo.

While he kept his cool, Merriman talked about taking on Punk in the Octagon to settle an old score.

"I would do a lot of things to him. I wouldn’t want to just beat him. I want to demolish him for the entire fight. I wouldn’t want to pin him. I wouldn’t want to knock him out. I just wanna make him feel pain."

Merriman then added, "We have a little beef. We have a little history."

A few years ago, Punk called out Merriman on Twitter for allegedly hitting on some WWE Divas at a hotel pool.

Watching Shawne Merriman of the buffalo bills hit on our divas and strike out, reminds me of the Bills in the super bowl. #choke — Coach (@CMPunk) February 26, 2011

@CMPunk I was just giving you guys some hope look like you were struggling by the pool. Sympathy from Lights — Shawne Merriman (@shawnemerriman) February 26, 2011

@shawnemerriman if you could get to a QB as fast as you ran after our divas maybe you'd make headlines being a pro bowler and not a creep. — Coach (@CMPunk) February 26, 2011

This still doesn’t sit well with Merriman, who reiterated that he’d like a piece of Punk. "For him to talk the way he did and now going into the UFC, I think it’s a complete joke," he said. "It’s a little bit more than personal. I would love to have my shot at him one day."
