Israel Adesanya Has Appearing In WWE On His Bucket List, His Manager Doesn’t See It Happening While Competing In MMA

The UFC Middleweight champion has his eyes on a WWE run one day.

Israel Adesanya is a wrestling fan through and through, even having an Undertaker inspired walkout previously. His natural charisma as well as his fighting skills would make him a valuable asset to any combat sports company in the world.

Adesayna’s manager Tim Simpson told ESPN:

“It’s on his bucket list, for sure,”

“He wants to [do a match]. He’s been very disciplined. We’ve had acting opportunities turned down. He’s been very disciplined about being an athlete. Because he knows that’s all in his future. So, I can’t see him doing it while he’s still competing. But in the future? Definitely bucket list.”

Adesanya reclaimed his UFC Middleweight Championship at UFC 287, defeating Alex Pereira to win back his grown as the kind of the middleweights. We will have to wait and see if we will see The Last Stylebender make the crossover to WWE.
