One such fighter is Sam Alvey. The American mixed martial artist has a current record of 33 -16 -1 and is set to take on Brendan Allen this Sunday (February 6) in the UFC. During an interview with KJ That Guy, Alvey opened up about possibly transitioning over to wrestling.
Alvey also admitted to being a huge fan of the WWE, saying he would happily quit fighting if Vince McMahon’s company came calling.
However, Sam Alvey then pointed out that he’d rather join AEW, based on the amount of creative freedom he’d enjoy at the promotion.
Would other UFC stars like Conor McGregor make appearances in AEW?
During an interview with ESPN Sportsnation, AEW star CM Punk revealed that he believed Conor McGregor would try his hand at wrestling soon.
The former WWE star also made his transition over to UFC back in 2014. While he didn’t enjoy a successful run, Punk earned big pay checks while working for Dana White’s company.
As for McGregor, he’s already proven he’d fight in a boxing ring, so it’s easy to picture the fighter making the transition to wrestling at some point.
AEW has been making waves recently, signing massive heavyweights from the wrestling industry. In light of that, it’s very much possible that UFC superstars like McGregor would choose Tony Khan’s company over WWE.
