Colby Covington is busy with the UFC right now, but once that’s done he’d be interested in a jump to WWE. Covington spoke with Sports Illustrated following his win over Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272 and talked about potentially coming over to WWE, and you can see a couple of highlights below:

On potentially going to WWE: “I’d love to cross over and come into the WWE. But I love being a UFC fighter. I love fighting; it’s my passion and what I was born and put on this earth to do. After my career with the UFC is done, WWE is something I’d love to dabble in.”

On Ronda Rousey’s WWE run: “Ronda Rousey has really impressed me [in WWE]. Her promo game has come on strong. She’s just a true entertainer. She knows how to put on a show for a crowd. She is the baddest woman in combat sports. Look at her track record—she’s a trendsetter. The things she did in the UFC are unheard of. I’m a big fan of Ronda Rousey and I love the way she competes. I think she’s going to be the best WWE wrestler for a long time to come.”
