Media UFC loses another top NCAA wrestling prospect to WWE

[D 1 Wrestler]

AJ Ferrari is one hell of a personality, really good at selling himself and generating hype. Also crazy elite athleticism. I have a feeling with the new rules for athletes to make money off their names were going to continue to see less wrestlers going to MMA, especially those with big personalities. Eventually it will be like Russia where anyone worth their salt in wrestling continues to stay and make money off social media or WWE rather than join UFC

Absolutely no interest in the career of anyone who uses that many emojis in their tweets.

This guy must be fan of Tony Ferguson

A lot of top D1 wrestlers don't go into MMA, let alone the UFC. There will be other prospects

 

[Sweater of AV]

Hmm...make money in WWE or be treated like garbage on Dana White's Dancing With the Stars. Tough decision.

Looks like that guy from Jersey Shore

Smart choice tbh, get WWE money and increase profile. Train as much MMA as possible over the years before having a crack at MMA.

AJ would literally be a new/bigger version of Phil Baroni, similar personalities

LOL! That’s exactly who came to mind. When Jersey Shore meets MMA….

That picture looks like what a cover of a gay porn video probably looks like.

UFC isnt signing 0-0 wrestlers, he didnt want to chase an MMA career looks like, pro wrestling as opposed to any other PRO sport is not a real competition, they dont get signed because they can wrestle, they get signed cause of how they look and talk.

+1 on the Jersey Shore refference, lol.

He looks like a kid. So hes not good enough for the Olympics then. The UFC cant be signing all the young (real) wrestling prospects.

Thought I was reading a children's popup book where they replace the words for a noun with the picture to teach kids

I think you meant to say MMA opportunity.

I think Phil Baroni would punch you square in the mouth if you told him he had a similar personality to this cringe Tiktok dancing douchebag.

He's 20. 6' 220ish probably walk around weight, wrestles at 197

They are literally the same personality. Phil was posing in daisy dukes bro he'd be all over social media if it was available in his prime
