Montez Ford has expressed his willingness to participate in a UFC-WWE crossover, stating in an interview with Comicbook.com that he had a conversation with WWE President Nick Khan about the possibility.
Ford said, “I don’t think people know, but yes, I was in the military and I was also a brown, almost a black belt in the military as well. Now not only do I have hand-to-hand combat experience, but I got life experience. Bobby said I would do exceedingly well especially because he knows my training regimen and my drive. He knows by getting some assistance in that area, I should do exceedingly well. I can throw hands with anybody here backstage, including this one (Angelo Dawkins). I don’t get tired unlike some people. I’m very motivated to do so. I even told Nick Khan, I said, ‘Hey, I know you’re doing all these crossovers, but if you need somebody to do another crossover and step to the octagon, I’ll be that guy. I think the weight that people need to be worried about is whatever weight I decide to do, because I’m throwing hands. I put it right here officially on ComicBook right now: If anybody truly feels like if I cross over, that they could just take me down very easily because I’m not so used to this field and UFC, tell ’em to holler at me. As the wrestlers say, for shoot. I’m ready. If they want to do something in the octagon, if they want to place me in a crossover event, WWE versus UFC, I would gladly be that representation. Right now we don’t have any more representation. I would definitely be the representation.”
Ford and his partner Angelo Dawkins last competed on the May 3rd episode of WWE SmackDown, losing to A-Town Down Under in a WWE Tag Team Title match.
