Montez Ford wants to have a mixed martial arts fight, and he says he has talked to WWE President Nick Khan about it.
As part of the Street Profits, Montez Ford is featured on WWE television. The duo has aligned with Bobby Lashley on WWE SmackDown, and they remain a prominent part of the show. WWE has merged with UFC to form TKO, leading to speculation about WWE stars competing in the octagon.
Speaking with Liam Crowley of ComicBook, Montez Ford commented on his interest in having an MMA fight.
“I don’t think people know, but yes, I was in the military and I was also a brown, almost a black belt in the military as well,” Montez Ford said. “Now not only do I have hand-to-hand combat experience, but I got life experience.
“Bobby said I would do exceedingly well especially because he knows my training regimen and my drive. He knows by getting some assistance in that area, I should do exceedingly well. I can throw hands with anybody here backstage, including this one (Angelo Dawkins). I don’t get tired unlike some people. I’m very motivated to do so.”
Montez Ford On Talking To Nick Khan
Montez Ford went on to say that he has talked to WWE President Nick Khan about the possibility. He noted that he has told Khan that he would be “that guy” if needed.
“I even told Nick Khan, I said, ‘Hey, I know you’re doing all these crossovers, but if you need somebody to do another crossover and step to the octagon, I’ll be that guy,'” Montez Ford said.
Ford then called out anyone who wanted to take him on, and he sai that he was ready to go. He stated that he was glad to be that representation for WWE.
“I think the weight that people need to be worried about is whatever weight I decide to do, because I’m throwing hands,” Montez Ford said. “I put it right here officially on ComicBook right now: If anybody truly feels like if I cross over, that they could just take me down very easily because I’m not so used to this field and UFC, tell ’em to holler at me.
“As the wrestlers say, for shoot. I’m ready. If they want to do something in the octagon, if they want to place me in a crossover event, WWE versus UFC, I would gladly be that representation. Right now we don’t have any more representation. I would definitely be the representation.”
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
