MMA-Wrestling crossover (Patreon)

MMA Crossover

Fightful prides ourselves on being ahead of the crossover curve between pro wrestling, mixed martial arts, and boxing, and James Lynch often speaks to fighters about their relationship with pro wrestling. You can see several responses from UFC stars below.

Belal Muhammad- Watched WrestleMania to see how Ronda Rousey would do, and watched when he was younger. Like many, he was a "Stone Cold Steve Austin" fan. Belal actually revealed that CM Punk and Ronda Rousey still talked, but Punk doesn't talk wrestling in the gym.

Brian Kelleher- Had never considered pro wrestling until the day of his interview with Lynch, but was thinking about making the transition after MMA that he's open to. He sees a lot of money in it, but is aware the travel is brutal. Another Stone Cold Steve Austin fan here.

Andrea AK Lee- Doesn't see her acting as strong enough to be able to carry the mic skills, but also is under the impression there's a lot of money in it. Occasionally tunes in and looks at social media posts about wrestling for Ronda Rousey-related content.

Jarred Brooks- Open to it, but wants to integrate MMA into anything like that he does.

Jimmie Rivera- Not interested in pro wrestling at all. Says that the bumps are too much for him to handle, and the mic work isn't something that he could take to very well. This will shock you, but he's a fan of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.
