UFC President Dana White said on Saturday that he would “absolutely” allow his fighters to make an appearance for WWE.
At a press conference after the Fight Night event in St Louis, Missouri, White was asked whether he would allow Derrick Lewis or other fighters to cross over to WWE.
Lewis said earlier this week that he was in talks about a possible match.
White was less than complimentary about Vince McMahon in his answer at the presser:
Yeah, I would do anything for Derrick Lewis. I really like Derrick Lewis a lot. Listen, some of the fighters who fight here have always dreamed about doing a WWE match or whatever it is. And yeah, I don’t have a problem with that.
I mean, I didn’t have a problem with that when Vince was consistently f–king me for no reason. And now that that’s not the case anymore, I obviously would absolutely do it.
However, fans should not expect to see White himself perform in any capacity in a WWE ring. When asked if he might appear as a special guest referee one day, he answered: “Me? That I guarantee you, you will not. No, never.”
