There have been a lot of crossovers between WWE and UFC ever since they merged under TKO, so fans have been wondering if any WWE stars will ever fight in the UFC one day. Bianca Belair is a name fans want to see in the Octagon, and now Belair has addressed the possibility of stepping into the Octagon.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated, Bianca Belair was asked if she would ever fight in the UFC. She said she deeply respects the sport and pointed out that there has been crossover before, with UFC fighters joining WWE and even CM Punk moving from WWE to UFC in the past.
The EST of WWE explained that she is happy and comfortable in WWE and would only consider UFC if she could train extremely hard, since success there requires serious preparation and can’t be taken lightly.
Bianca added that she has learned to never say never, but admitted her mother would be very worried if she ever decided to step into the Octagon.
“I respect that sport so much. You know, I think we’ve seen crossover before with UFC fighters coming over into WWE. We’ve seen Punk before going over to UFC. I think I’m very happy and comfortable being in WWE. If I ever did that, I would train extremely hard. I know it’s not something you can just walk into and think you’re going to be successful. I’ve learned to never say never, but I know my mom would be very scared if I ever did that.”
For now, Bianca Belair seems fully focused on competing in WWE, but she isn’t closing the door on other opportunities. With her athletic background, fans feel she’ll definitely do well in UFC so only time will tell if Belair crosses over.
