The idea piques Femi's interest.
Dating back to January 2025, Oba Femi has been reigning as NXT Champion. His next title defense is coming up at NXT Battleground on May 25th and it will be against Myles Borne.
Going into the match, Femi is making the media rounds and he chatted with Jim Varsallone. As their conversation went on, Femi mentioned that he's interested in venturing into MMA.
See, that piques my interest. I actually do have some interest in doing that and if it’s convenient and I have the opportunity to, I would definitely jump on it… TKO (Femi laughed).
WWE and UFC are under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella and there have been fighters and wrestlers who have appeared at each other's respective shows.
