Bianca Belair Shut Down Montez Ford Competing In MMA
Ford had desires to step into the fight cage.
Montez Ford had a desire to follow in the footsteps of other wrestlers and compete in a mixed martial arts fight.
Montez's wife, fellow WWE star Bianca Belair, had other ideas.
The couple were in attendance at this past weekend's UFC 298 pay-per-view, where they were interviewed by TNT Sports. Asked whether he had ever thought about stepping into the Octagon, Ford said:
"100%. I do get nervous about messing up this pretty face. I will say I've always been a fan of it, always train for it. It is something I was talking about in the last two years about actually going over and having a match. Seeing CM Punk, Brock Lesnar and even Bobby Lashley, the guy I'm with now, doing different promotions, those fighter promotions. So, it was something I had an interest in, but it got shut down quickly by [gestures to Bianca]".
Responding, The EST of WWE said:
"Listen, it's rough in there, you know? You get a heel or a big toe right to the eye and get knocked out, and I have to watch that? It's tough. I love to watch it for entertainment, but to see my husband in there...but I'll support him no matter what he wants to do".
Belair herself may have a tough test up ahead, with TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace wanting a match with her.
