Former WWE ring announcer Lillian Garcia recently interviewed with the folks over at The Sun. Garcia, who is now the ring announcer for the Professional Fighters League, spoke about which current members of the WWE roster she believes could transition into the world of MMA, telling The Sun:
“I’d think someone like AJ Styles or Jeff Hardy maybe could have done something. It’s their athleticism, they’ve both had such long careers, physically they have an ability to withstand it night after night. So, having them do something like MMA, and then add their personalities, I could definitely have seen that.”
García, who is also the host of her own Chasing Glory Podcast, talked about Mick Foley. Lillian shared a memory, and talked about an MMA based conversation that she once had with the hardcore legend. Lillian explained:
“I remember inviting Mick Foley, he came and sat with me a couple times cageside and we were in New York and he was so into it. He said, ‘I could never be an MMA fighter’. He sees the intensity of that world and how amazing these athletes are.”
