The reference to “warming up” has been in context to the merger between the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), two of the most prominent organizations in combat sports and professional wrestling, respectively. Dana White has also spoken of this merger in a press conference before and “The Notorious” has now further fortified the news with his tweet.
While many feel this cryptic message could very well indicate Gregor’s association in any of the coming events of either UFC, WWE or both. Although the combat sports icon is yet to detail on the matter, fans sure are getting excited.
