During the UFC on ESPN 56 press conference, Derrick Lewis was asked if UFC and WWE’s merger into TKO Group could mean the heavyweight could make an appearance in the squared circle.
Revealing that talks have been in place, Lewis stated:
“We’ve been talking for a few months. I was supposed to go down there in February to check everything out.”
Looking ahead to a possible in-ring appearance, the man headlining the upcoming Fight Night event answered the question of what his finishing move would be:
“It’d have to be something like Rikishi. You might see it. I like taking down my shorts. You might see something like that.”
The fighter’s appreciation for pro wrestling has been evident in the past, with Lewis using a “V-trigger” style knee strike and celebrating with DX-esque crotch chops at UFC 291.
