UFC Fighter Henry Cejudo Says He Nearly Signed With WWE

Newly-signed UFC fighter Henry Cejudo recently spoke to MMA Junkie and revealed that he is a lifelong wrestling fan and nearly signed with WWE.

On almost signing with WWE: “It was something that was actually in the works. One of their talent scouts saw me, met me and wanted to bring me in for an audition or whatnot. … They had reached out to me and wanted to get a feel of it.”

On if he might wrestle in the future: “I’ve always watched WWE ever since I was a little kid. But mixed martial arts right now is my No. 1 priority. Maybe WWE in the future, but as of now I’m sticking straight to the UFC and my fighting career. It might be worth trying it out some day, but as of right now, I solely train and think about mixed martial arts.”
