Gerald Brisco Tried To Recruit UFC Fighter (Patreon)

WWE's Gerald Brisco made an effort to bring a recently signed UFC fighter over to WWE. Deron Winn, a friend of Daniel Cormier's, spoke with Brisco, who tried to talk Winn into transitioning. Winn is not a pro wrestling fan and saw Kurt Angle moving over as "selling out." He's also much smaller than many pro wrestlers, standing at 5 foot 5 inches. He competed against UFC fighter turned pro wrestler Tom Lawlor last year and emerged victorious. 

Brisco also pushed hard for Jessamyn Duke to move to pro wrestling years before she did, and was a proponent of Matt Riddle. 

I'll have more on this story in the coming weeks on The Fightful Report and in the Weekly as I dig a little more.
