The Last Stylebender wants to make the jump to professional wrestling later on his career.
Israel Adesanya is one of the biggest stars in mixed martial arts, but he is also a huge fan of pro wrestling. Most recently, Izzy walked out in full Undertaker tribute mode at UFC 276 this past Saturday. With WWE brass in the building, he certainly made a statement of intent for later.
Adesanya would win his fight at 276 via decision. Adesanya spoke about a potential future in WWE when speaking to BT Sport.
“Definitely, that’s something I’ll try my hand at later on,” “Just for fun. I’m not saying it’s going to be a full-time job, but I’m definitely going to jump in the WWE or something along that line, just for the entertainment factor. I grew up, jumping off the couch, broke my arm doing shooting stars.”

Time will tell if Adesanya will make the jump anytime soon, but for now he remains the undisputed UFC Middleweight Champion.
