A UFC fighter has expressed interest in a wrestling crossover, stating that he’d love to be a champion in WWE.
Ahead of Bo Nickal’s fight against Reinier de Ridder at UFC Fight Night on Saturday (May 3), the middleweight star has discussed the possibility of a WWE move.
Speaking with Khel Now TV, Nickal noted that he has always been a fan of wrestling.
Noting that he’d love to hold gold in WWE, Nickal said:
“Yeah, absolutely, if it makes sense. I think that it would be a ton of fun and I’ve always been a fan of the sport since I was very young.
“I think that a crossover would be awesome and I would love to be a champion in amateur wrestling, in MMA and in WWE.”

In addition to several NCAA Division I Championships, Bo Nickal wong gold in the 92kg division of freestyle wrestling at both the US National Championships and the U23 World Championships in 2019.
His professional MMA record is currently 7-0 heading into Saturday’s fight, most recently defeating Paul Craig via unanimous decision at UFC 309 in November 2024.
WWE and UFC both operate under the company TKO Group Holdings.
