WWE Invites Two Former UFC Fighters to Talk During WrestleMania 31 Weekend?

[Dale]

Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen said on TSN's Off The Record that WWE called him about meeting to talk during WrestleMania 31 weekend in Santa Clara, California. Apparently WWE also invited former UFC fighter Wanderlei Silva to the talks.

Sonnen wouldn't say exactly what the talks might be about but WWE is flying him out and also giving him a ticket to either the Hall of Fame or WrestleMania. Sonnen said he didn't know if Silva had accepted the invite or not.

This is especially interesting with WWE reportedly announcing a partnership with MMA apparel company Tapout soon. We've reached out to WWE for comment and will keep you updated on the story.

|I would absolutely love that. Sonnen should know how to work being at the Power Plant, and Wandy was in Pride......nuff said.

Gotta take everything from Sonnen with a grain though.

 

[Chris]

Chael just need to do some more mean streets promos.

 

[Twitchy]

that would be amazing.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

At least I know these MMA stars I guess... You know what fuck that. This has nothing to with wrestlin' or Mania other than to gettin' casuals a little more interested so I got no interest myself in this.

I heard it's to be spokesmen for Tapout who is reported to become partners with WWE since UFC partnered with Reebok and fucked over a lot of other sponsors.
