Montez Ford, known for his high-flying moves in the WWE, is setting his sights on a new challenge: the UFC.
In a recent interview, Ford revealed that he had spoken to WWE President Nick Khan about competing in the UFC. This wouldn’t be the first time a WWE Superstar has crossed over to MMA, as wrestlers like CM Punk and Brock Lesnar have done the same.
Military Background and Training
For Ford, the UFC represents a new test of his skills and athleticism. It will be interesting to see if he can translate his success in the WWE ring to the brutal world of mixed martial arts.
Ford isn’t just a flashy wrestler. He has a military background that includes extensive hand-to-hand combat training. This experience, combined with his athleticism, makes him a potential contender in MMA.
Ford’s teammate Bobby Lashley, who has his own MMA background, fully supports Ford’s ambitions. Additionally, WWE President Nick Khan seems open to the idea of crossover opportunities between WWE and UFC.
Whether Ford will actually compete in the UFC remains to be seen. However, with the growing connection between WWE and UFC under the TKO umbrella, the possibility is no longer a fantasy.
