Video: UFC Fighter on Being Interested In a WWE Run, Fighting Brock Lesnar
In the video above, UFC fighter Roy Nelson talks to the media after his workout ahead of UFC Fight Night this week in Las Vegas, where he will face Derrick Lewis.
During the interview, Nelson mentions he wants a fight with Brock Lesnar, if Lesnar sticks around after Saturday’s UFC 200 fight against Mark Hunt.
There have been reports in the past of WWE and Nelson having interest in each other and in this interview, Nelson says he would love to go to WWE but he believes there’s something in the UFC contracts that would prevent that from happening. Nelson says everyone seems to be doing the crossovers these days and maybe he will go to Dana White to see if it’s possible.
Regarding Lesnar vs. Hunt, Nelson says if Hunt gets his hands on Lesnar, the fight is over, but if Lesnar gets a big takedown, it could be bad for Hunt.
