Dana White Says He Would Allow UFC Fighters To Appear In WWE

Dana White would not have a problem with UFC fighters potentially appearing in WWE.

In September 2023, WWE and UFC merged to form TKO. Since then, fans have continued to speculate about potentially seeing UFC fighters show up in WWE, and vice versa. There has been some collaboration between the two companies so far, but it has been fairly limited.

“Yeah, I would do anything for Derrick Lewis. I really like Derrick Lewis a lot,” Dana White said. “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.”
