5-Time WWE Champion Keeps Door Open on Possible UFC Move
WWE star is open to having a fight in UFC.
WWE and UFC have witnessed crossovers many times in the past. For instance, Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey from UFC coming to WWE, or CM Punk trying out his skills inside the octagon. Perhaps in the future, we’ll also get to see Bianca Belair in UFC.
Beliar and Stephanie Vaquer recently had an interview with Sports Illustrated. During the interview, The EST was asked if she would ever step inside the octagon for a UFC fight. The 2-time Women’s Champion, 1-time SmackDown Women’s Champion, 2-time Women’s Tag Team Champion answered that if the opportunity came knocking on her door, she would surely be up for a challenge.
I think I’m very happy and comfortable being in WWE. If I ever did that (fight in UFC), I would train extremely hard. I know it’s not something that you can just walk into and think that you’re going to be successful. And I mean, I learned to never say never, but I know my mom would be very scared if I ever did that. (1:38 – 1:54)
WWE Star Bianca Belair Is Still Under Recovery
Belair has been absent from in-ring action since her last match, which took place at WrestleMania 41. She wrestled IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match for the WWE Women’s World Championship, which The Genius of the Sky won.
During the match, Belair injured her left hand. She has revealed that her fingers on her left hand also sustained significant injury, forcing her to wear her wedding ring on her right hand. Speaking on the Club 520 Podcast. Belair disclosed that her left finger is still broken and hasn’t healed completely yet.
“I have my wedding ring on my right hand because my left finger is still broken.”
Belair was reportedly supposed to make her comeback at SummerSlam this year and re-enter the Naomi vs. Jade Cargill feud. But she didn’t get the clearance due to her injury. She was involved in the announcement for WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, fans are hopeful that she might get back into action soon.
