Another Former UFC Fighter Wants to Join WWE

Could WWE have started a trend amongst other athletes?

According to a new report from CBS Sports, Former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum has aspirations to transition to the world of professional wrestling.

He seems to have the personality for the sport; here is a clip of him having to be separated from Tony Ferguson during a media launch event for UFC 216:

The news of this interest came from being asked about the rumors that Brock Lesnar is returning to the Octagon. Werdum said the following:

“I think that both (at the same time) is doable,” Werdum said. “You can do WWE. … If I had the opportunity I’d fight there, no problem. It’s financially great. Fight at WWE, a spectacle that is fun to do. I’d definitely do it. I have a meeting Thursday about it, doing both (UFC and WWE). I want to fight, doesn’t matter where.”

He had to clarify the above statement, as many thought he was trying out for WWE:

Hey guys to make it clear I spoke about maybe doing Lucha libre in México. Not WWE. I meant wwe style(pro wrestling) but I am a @ufc fighter and my focus 100% is fighting in the ufc and whatever decision I make after my fighting career @danawhite @Mickmaynard2 will be involved.

Editor’s Opinion:

I don’t know much about this guy, but if Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey can do it, then why not?
