He has good connections with the management of the company, including Vince McMahon and Triple H.
Cris Cyborg has been one of the best female fighters on UFC's roster. She has won numerous fights and there have been rumours of a feud between her and Ronda Rousey for a long time. Unfortunately, they were rumours that never led to an actual fight.
Cyborg confessed to the media, that in the future she may end up facing Ronda Rousey inside the WWE.
The heart of the matter
When asked about Cris Cyborg, Mick Foley confessed that he had been 'trading messages' with her for a few nights, and would be attending a viewing party with her in New Jersey.
He then talked about his recent meeting with Vince McMahon, where he said what he had told the Chairman.
"Keep your eye on this Cyborg-Nunes fight. She's gonna be larger than life, and I think she'd make a great WWE Superstar down the line."
He went on to say that he thought Cyborg's fight with Nunes would be one of the biggest fights of UFC history.
What's next?
Cyborg is set to face Amanda Nunes in a fight which is expected to take place at UFC 232 on the 29th of December in Las Vegas.
Cyborg confessed to feeling that her fight against Nunes may be the last one for her.
