"That guy can cut a promo!" - Anthony Smith picks one fighter from the UFC who is a definite to go over to WWE

Anthony Smith recently weighed in on UFC fighters he believes could do well if they transition to WWE after retirement.

During yesterday's episode of the Believe You Me podcast, 'Lionheart' told Michael Bisping that there are a number of UFC fighters that would do well in WWE following the merger, which was finalized earlier this week. Among the names he mentioned was Michael Chandler, who complimented that lightweight's promo work:

"Michael Chandler, that guy could cut a promo and I think he's athletic enough, he's got kind of that muscly build to him. You zoom in on him, he might look like he's 250lbs, you don't gotta pan out all the way." [10:31 - 10:47]

The three-time Bellator lightweight champion has had many pro wrestling references in his promos. One notable moment is his post-fight interview following his UFC debut, which was compared to WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair's backstage interview after his Royal Rumble win. 'Iron's walkout song is also a nod to WWE as it is the same song that serves as the intro for their flagship show, Monday Night RAW.

It will be interesting to see whether Michael Chandler agrees with Anthony Smith and makes an appearance in WWE at some point in the future now that they merged with UFC to form TKO.
