A bit of an audacious claim from Heyman.
Since Roman Reigns began his rule at the Head Of The Table at the end of 2020, Paul Heyman has been by his side as his advisor and manager. Heyman is now an integral part of The Bloodline and even betrayed Brock Lesnar for his new faction.
While speaking with The Philadelphia Inquirer, Heyman gave huge props to Roman Reigns for his athletic ability. He claimed that Reigns could easily be the UFC Heavyweight Champion.
“He has the agility and aptitude of a Division I athlete, and don’t ever lose sight that Roman Reigns could be the UFC heavyweight champion in a heartbeat. The aura of him being presented as The Tribal Chief at times betrays what an extremely — all pun intended — tough man and athlete who stands before you as your tribal chief.”
Paul Heyman to The Philadelphia Inquierer
Roman Reigns has admitted in the past that he is a huge MMA fan and follows the sport. Time will tell if Roman will decide to crossover into MMA and become a successful fighter.
