Vice is asked who in WWE she thinks would transition well into MMA.
Before Lola Vice ventured into WWE, she was a fighter for Bellator MMA and tallied up a 4-1-0 record. Vice is making the media rounds ahead of her NXT Women’s Championship match at the No Mercy Premium Live Event.
She was interviewed by Sports Illustrated and was asked what current WWE talent she thinks would transition well over to MMA. She named Damian Priest.
“I think Damian Priest would actually be a great MMA fighter. He’s a karate guy, he’s a striker. I feel like his background would have translated great into the cage.”
Vice and the reigning NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne met face-to-face on NXT TV ahead of the PLE. The segment ended with Vice dropping Jayne to the mat with a spinning backfist.
