If you think about it, the reasons aren't very surprising

#2 Many of them are lifelong WWE fans as well

I am sure this is the case with many other UFC fighters. Conor McGregor has spoken about his admiration for Ric Flair and Vince McMahon in the past. Daniel Cormier too is a big WWE fan and even follows the current product.
