Daniel Bryan Open To Surprising UFC Fight?

Former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan rose to superstardom in 2014 thanks to his organic rise as a babyface. This culminated in him winning both the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships at WrestleMania 30 after Bryan defeated Randy Orton and Batista in a triple threat match. Matt Riddle also dropped a huge Daniel Bryan bombshell.

Daniel Bryan, now known as Bryan Danielson, discussed why he left WWE for AEW after the end of AEW All Out, as seen in the tweets below. Adam Cole also debuted, reuniting with The Elite. Jim Ross ‘botched’ a major WWE star’s AEW debut.

Bryan Danielson recently spoke to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Show, where he revealed that he thought of competing in an MMA fight but ultimately thought against it.

“That’s just not how I’m wired. I was super proud of him, because it’s such a huge leap. And Punk is somebody who, it’s not like ever did super competitive sports. It’s very different from Brock Lesnar jumping to UFC, who has a high-level amateur wrestling background, who’s just a monster of a human being as far as physique-wise and athletic ability-wise. To be kind of famous and then to then just put yourself out there like that, I thought it was really, really cool. I’m someone who, I kind of flirt with the idea of doing an MMA fight. And then my wife will tell me, ‘What a bad idea!’”
