On Wednesday (March 7, 2018), an article was published by MMA Fighting that featured an interview with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum.
During the interview, Werdum stated that he is looking to participate in both pro wrestling and MMA.
Werdum originally mentioned that he was having a meeting with WWE. However, he later mistakenly cited WWE instead of a Mexican “lucha libre” company.
Werdum cleared up the situation by writing the following on Twitter:
“Hey guys to make it clear I spoke about maybe doing Lucha libre in México. Not WWE. I meant wwe style(pro wrestling) but I am a @ufc fighter and my focus 100% is fighting in the ufc and whatever decision I make after my fighting career @danawhite @Mickmaynard2 will be involved..”
