WWE Dana Brooke's Fiance: 5 facts you need to know about Ulysses Diaz

#4. Ulysses Diaz's MMA Career actually began as a joke

Ulysses Diaz has made quite a career for himself in combat sports over the past few years, but he recently revealed in an interview with Fightful that his MMA career began as a joke.

"What happened was, I had just won a boxing match," Ulysses Diaz said. "My manager also owns a barber shop. So, we were there and Lex McMahon just happened to be there for a meeting. As I was leaving I kinda joking, kinda not. I tell Lex, “Hey, book me in an MMA fight. Get me a stand up dude,” you know? We laughed it off and when I left thirty minutes later he called me, he’s like, “Get ready for the December fight.”

Diaz said that he went to camp with Yoel Romero and after fighting the guys from Bare Knuckle Fighting started to contact him and everything then just fell into place and worked out in his favor.

Despite the way his MMA career began, Ulysses Diaz has become a success in the sport and went on to become a viral trend after a video of a bare-knuckle fight was shared online.

The star seems to want to make a name for himself in WWE as well now, after his fiancee Dana Brooke noted that there's a chance he could head over to Vince McMahon's company.
