Hours after ex-WWE superstar-turned-imitation UFC fighter Phil "CM Punk" Brooks went on a Twitter tirade in which he essentially called his detractors "butt hurt dummies," EA Sports has responded.
Addressing concerns over CM Punk's reported 85/100 rating (overrated?) in EA Sports UFC 2, EA Sports has assured worried UFC fans that fighter ratings are not yet finalized.
Don't get too excited about the rumored #EASPORTSUFC2 fighter ratings! We're still finalizing & haven't announced anything yet. Stay tuned.

The problem fans have with CM Punk's involvement in the game is that he's yet to fight an actual professional match in the UFC. For an aging, injury-prone fighter with zero professional fights under his belt, the 85 rating was all the angry internet mob needed to pounce.
