2. UFC Fighter Paige VanZant Wants To Work In WWE
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, UFC fighter Paige VanZant was asked about a possible career in WWE. Below is what she said:
“We heard a little bit from them. They’re someone I’d love to partner with and work with, they’re a great organization. I’m a huge fan of WWE, and I definitely want to keep them close. Eventually, it’s still something I would love to do.”
Speaking of UFC, Mickey Gall, CM Punk’s UFC 203 opponent, said in a recent interview that Punk is just a launching pad for him. Below is what he said:
“We’re probably not deserving of being on the Pay-Per-View. It’s hard to say because he’s a superstar, made himself a superstar in his sport. Between us, he has no fights, I have two professional fights and three amateur fights. There’s not going to be anyone else on any Pay-Per-View probably this year with 5 fights or less combined. So it’s a little funky but I’m grateful for the opportunity and I’m very excited to fight in front of the big crowd under the lights. I can’t wait man. That’s why I got into this sport. Right now I’m that CM Punk guy and that’s cool. That’s helping me get to where I want to be but I guarantee in my next fights after this, I won’t be known as that anymore. That’ll just be just like a footnote. I have big plans in fighting so it’s just a launching pad.”
