In the past, there have been rumors of Nelson having an interest in WWE, and during the interview Nelson confirmed those rumors by saying he would love to compete in WWE, but there is something in the UFC contracts which prohibits it. He added everyone is “crossing over” these days so he might speak to Dana White about a potential WWE future.
