“At one point I looked at Vince and was like, ‘Hey, you should think about f–king doing this. Seems like a pretty cool thing.’ Got a big pop out of him. I guess [Adesanya] is a big WWE fan, we were honoured to be over there and got a chance to sit directly behind his corner,” said Pat McAfee.
Adesanya had set the internet on fire recently. It happened after he made his way to the Octagon with the accompaniment of WWE legend and Hall of Famer The Undertaker’s entrance. Not only his entrance but even Adesanya’s attire resembled The Deadman. He wore an Undertaker-style hat and carried an urn with the name of his opponent, Jared Cannonier, engraved into it.

On the back of his grandiose entrance, Adesanya went on to retain the UFC middleweight title and improve his pro record to 23-1. It happened with a unanimous-decision victory. Adesanya was asked about potentially leaping pro wrestling one day later in an interview with BT Sport. In reply, Adesanya said that he is a longtime WWE fan who “definitely” plans to wrestle for WWE one day.
Vince McMahon already is a fan of Adesanya. And, this bodes well for his chances of transitioning to the company of WWE soon!
