When WWE legend Steve Austin named Sean Strickland among UFC fighters he wants in pro wrestling
Following the formation of TKO, which united UFC and WWE under a single umbrella, conversations around crossover appearances between MMA fighters and pro wrestling stars have gained significant momentum.
During an interview with combat sports journalist Marc Raimondi in February 2024, WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin singled out Sean Strickland and Colby Covington as two UFC fighters he believes possess the qualities needed to succeed in the world of sports entertainment:
"If I'm going right now, I'm going Sean Strickland. I like Sean Strickland. Boy, he stays economic in the octagon right now, but what a promo. And so, then I go with Colby Covington. All the trash talk, all the athletic ability. Guy never runs out of gas, he's always in shape, talks a mean streak and can back it up. He's very exciting, he has that X-factor that you always look for. He's double tough."
