– During a recent interview with The Irish Sun, Becky Lynch spoke about the possibility of pursuing a career in MMA or boxing. Lynch is dating UFC fighter Luke Sanders and was called out by UFC Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg this summer.
“My boyfriend is in the UFC and I see the amount of work and dedication it takes him and you have to be really passionate about it,” Lynch replied.
“I am a big fan and I really like watching it but that is not where my passion is. My passion is in what we do, and in wrestling. It is in telling stories and in acting and that is where I want to put all my energy.”
– MMA fighter Gabi Garcia recently spoke to TMZ Sports and expressed an interest in becoming a WWE Superstar one day.
The 6’2″ 200-plus pound woman’s MMA star said, “It’s possible one day if the guys invited me. I love the show, I love watching WWE, so why not?”
Garcia certainly has a blueprint to follow if she does want to become a pro wrestler down the road. Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn, Matt Riddle, “Filthy” Tom Lawlor and most recently Shayna Baszler are examples of former UFC fighters who successfully crossed over from the octagon to the squared circle.
