While being a wrestler in the past, he had some advice for the UFC guys. He said, “It’s going to make both companies stronger. I really don’t think they need too much interaction because they’re such different entities. Maybe some of those [UFC] guys can learn to do a proper promo and really build some good fights.”
Promo and building hype for a match is the bread and butter for WWE. From Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns to Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte, even if they don’t want to, WWE does a great job at getting the fans hyped up for their matches and storylines via mic work. This is one area where WWE completely triumphs over other sports.
Later on, Taker also said that while he can see UFC and WWE talents switch companies, he doesn’t expect a crossover to happen. While he might be an ardent fan of UFC, Taker should know that there are fighters who are already showing pro wrestling potential.
Which UFC fighter could make the switch to WWE next?
While we have seen Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, and Ken Shamrock switch from MMA to wrestling, there is another potential fighter who is already a great promo in UFC. A lot of people want to see Conor McGregor in WWE soon, but they are forgetting about this one fighter.

Covered in The Undertaker’s black garb and his black hat, Adesanya walked into the Octagon with all the glamor. It was so captivating that even one of WWE’s greatest performers; The Rock was stunned by it.
With such precision in delivering performance, the UFC Middleweight Champion could definitely be one fighter who switches companies. His charisma and talent, as well as dedication to entertaining the crowd, make him a shoo-in for WWE.
