Brie Garcia on a Medical Team Preventing Bryan Danielson From Fighting in UFC

– During a recent interview with ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, WWE Hall of Famer Brie Garcia revealed that her husband, AEW star Bryan Danielson, was looking to take a UFC fight, but doctors and a medical team told him no. She stated the following (via Fightful):

“No. He really wanted to years ago and I said no. My husband is incredible at grappling training. I mean, he’s worked with some of the UFC guys, but when you have a husband who’s had a lot of concussions, that’s the last place you want to see him. Doctors, too. The whole medical team. All of us were like, ‘Bryan, it sounds great, but…’ For me, as a wife, I look at longevity. Bryan and I are coming up to our 10-year wedding anniversary, and I know we’re going to have 20-30 more years. So, for me, it’s his health in the long run, not the short term.”

Bryan Danielson is slated to return to the ring soon and compete in AEW’s Continental Classic tournament.
