12th ranked UFC heavyweight, American fighter Derrick Lewis has stated his desire to try his hand at the world's leading wrestling league, WWE, while continuing his career in the UFC.
I wouldn't stop here at UFC, but I would like to dibble dabble in WWE. You remember Gold Dust? Probably something like that. As long as I get to paint my face so people don't really know it's me, I'm going to be a ho freak out there and be a little sassy with it.
