It was back in April of last year that the WWE and Endeavor reached a deal which would see the WWE merge with UFC’s parent company Zuffa to form a new company called ‘TKO’.
Following the merger, it was anticipated that crossovers between the two entities might occur. To date that has not been the case.
At the post-fight press conference this weekend, when asked, UFC CEO Dana White said he’s open to UFC fighters making crossover appearances in the WWE (h/t MMANews):
“Listen, some of the fighters who fight here have always dreamed about a WWE match or whatever it is. I don’t have a problem with that. I didn’t have a problem with that when (former WWE CEO) Vince (McMahon) was f**king me for no reason. And now that that’s not the case anymore, I, obviously, would absolutely do it.”
It was known that McMahon and White had a tenuous relationship at best, but the former WWE CEO is out of the picture now after selling off all his remaining TKO shares this past April.
As a follow-up, Dana White was asked if he was aware that Derrick Lewis had previously been in talks with the WWE, to which he replied he wasn’t, but:
“I would do anything for Derrick Lewis; I really like Derrick Lewis a lot.”
Derrick Lewis (28-12 MMA) got back in the win column after defeating Rodrigo Nascimento (11-2 MMA) by TKO this past Saturday in the UFC heavyweight main event.
