WWE veteran Big E spoke with Kevin Iole about various topics, including MMA and whether he had ever considered pursuing the sport.
Big E said, “No. Not once. Mind you, I’m maybe 5’11’ and about 255. As far as MMA, you’re fighting Stefan Struve, who is a seven-foot fighter at heavyweight. Daniel Cormier was able to do it around my height, but you’re talking about one of the best American wrestlers of the last 10-20 years. As much as I love the sport, I wrestled in high school, I was never enough of an elite wrestler or an elite striker to think, ‘I could really make a go of this.’”
