Who is going to be CM Punk's first UFC opponent? That's the question that's on a lot of peoples' minds right now, because that opponent could very well determine how Punk's entire MMA career goes. So people are eager to find out who it's going to be—and Punk was asked about his first opponent time and time again during a series of interviews that he took part in on Thursday.

The TSN show Off the Record took the mystery surrounding Punk's first opponent to a different level, though. Before interviewing Punk yesterday, they aired a clip that featured a series of possible opponents for Punk (Jose Canseco was one, Drake was another). And it doesn't seem like it sit real well with him. Because while he didn't call TSN host Michael Landsberg out immediately for airing the clip, most of the interview was very tense. And when Landsberg finally stopped the interview to ask Punk if he was upset with the way it was going, Punk responded by calling him out for producing the clip and then criticizing the way Landsberg had acted towards him off-camera prior to the start of the interview.

The entire interview is worth watching. But if you want to hear the tensest moments, fast-forward to about the 13-minute mark, which is when Punk stops trying to play nice and starts getting real with Landsberg.
