    If I was him I wouldn’t go to the UFC at all. Stipe Miocic defended the heavyweight title 4 times, and he’s asking to get traded to ONEFC of all places. Woodley is fighting Jake Paul, Cyborg is happier at Bellator, Mighty Mouse willingly left as well. Just go to WWE and make millions with less damage to your health. plus the fans are actually supportive, they buy merch and they will hold you down even if you are on your death’s door.

      "Less damage to your health" LMAO Do I really need to name the hundreds of retired Pro Wrestlers with Permanent Neck and Back problems...Meanwhile most retired MMA fighters leave the sport relatively fine in comparison. If Gable goes to WWE he'll be addicted to Pain Killers in no time from taking bumps every other night.

      lmao WWE does NOT do less damage to your health. There's a reason why every year a couple of famous wrestlers die young. They get tons of injuries and get a ton of concussions despite it being "fake". And their schedules (wrestling several times a week) are brutal and give the body almost no time to heal up unless you're on a Brock Lesnar contract where you only wrestle big shows.

    In my opinion he should go to the UFC. He is much more talented than 80% of the HW roster there. And if he is not championship material, he can still go to WWE, because of his resumee. In the NFL he is chanceless.
