Like it or not, it's common to see MMA fighters switching to pro-wrestling after their peak in the UFC. And now, Conor McGregor he also became the target of WWE's desire. One of the company's stars, 'Big E' made a point of praising the Irishman and believes that the provocative style of the former featherweight (up to 65,7kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3kg) champion would be a success in telecatch.

“If you ask your neighbor on the street who it is, there's a good chance they'll know who it is Conor McGregor. So yeah, I would never see a problem with that. Not everyone would welcome him or feel the same way, but he is extremely fun. And I think if he came to WWE, he would get a lot of attention. I think it would be worth the investment, I wouldn't have any problems with it”, said Big E in an interview with the North American website 'Vibe & Wrestling'.
Popular in the four corners of the world, pro-wrestling and Ultimate have already 'connected' in history with countless fighters who have already transitioned between the two organizations. Hall of Fame members Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock have already performed in the sport, as well as Ronda Rousey – who gained great notoriety in MMA after being the first female UFC champion. Former heavyweight champion (up to 120,2 kg.) Cain Velásquez has also competed in WWE.
In the opposite direction, two of the biggest names in telecatch also ventured into MMA. The heavy weight Brock Lesnar, in fact, became Ultimate champion after just four fights. CM Punk only had two fights in the organization, being defeated by Mickey gall and Mike Jackson before returning to WWE.
