Mackenzie Dern says that she would be open to transitioning to WWE once her UFC career comes to an end. The UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion recently spoke with US Magazine for a new interview at the UFC 331 on Paramount+ red carpet and during the conversation, she was asked about a potential appearance in UFC’s sister company.

Dern, who last fought at UFC 330 in August where she beat Gillian Robertson, also weighed in on the notion of a fight with Ronda Rousey. You can see the highlights below:

On a Move to WWE:

“Oh yeah, that’d be fun. So much fun, I mean, the Bella [Twins]. It’s so cool. I’d be able to once I retire.”

On an Exhibition Match With Rousey:

“Ronda Rousey is a lot bigger, but it would have been amazing to do like an exhibition match with her.”
