>Montez Ford remains a popular WWE Superstar and is renowned for his athleticism. In fact, he has hinted at a possible move to the UFC. He recently disclosed that he’s discussed competing in the UFC with WWE President Nick Khan.
>In an interview with ComicBook while promoting C4 Energy, Montez Ford discussed his interest in mixed martial arts. He revealed that his military background includes extensive hand-to-hand combat training.
>“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,” Ford said. “So not only do I have hand-to-hand combat experience, but I also have life experience.”
>Montez Ford has shared his MMA aspirations with the WWE locker room, including his stablemate Bobby Lashley. Ford mentioned that Lashley, who has a background in mixed martial arts, supports his ambitions.
>“Bobby said I would do exceedingly well, especially because he knows my training regimen and my drive,” Ford explained. “He knows that with 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.”
>Montez Ford’s interest in mixed martial arts has reached WWE President Nick Khan, who has expressed enthusiasm for crossover opportunities between WWE and UFC. Ford shared that he’s ready to be part of those crossovers if the opportunity arises.
>“I even told Nick Khan, ‘Hey, I know you’re doing all these crossovers, but if you need somebody to do another crossover and step into the octagon, I’ll be that guy.'”
>Nevertheless, only time will tell whether Ford will actually be able to compete in the UFC one day. With WWE and UFC being under the TKO umbrella, the possibility is certainly there.

wrestlers in a shoot, what could go wrong?
Montez Ford would literally destroy you in a fight
get off Fhite, montell
Don't take shoot fights when you're over 40 bros, it's almost never going to end well for you no matter how tough you were in your prime
The George Foremans of the world are the exception, not the rule
kek this Black person think's he's a shooter because he got a level 2 combatives cert
>level 2 combatives
okay wait a minute kek this is a bigger shitpost than I thought, I assumed crayon eaters had basically the same shit but this is really special
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Corps_Martial_Arts_Program
>Also during this period, Captains Wallace M. Greene and Samuel B. Griffith learned kung fu techniques from Chinese American Marines and brought this knowledge to other Marines throughout the Marine Corps.
holy fricking kino
>Brown belt is the fourth belt level requiring 33 hours of training. It introduces Marines to the advanced fundamentals of each discipline. In addition, as with green belts, they may be certified as instructors and teach tan through brown techniques. Prerequisites for this belt include recommendation of reporting senior.
woah....33 hours??? that's like a whole 2 week course, damn...
Only thing that belts in that program prove is your ability to to work your command since you have to do it on company time.
33 hours? lmao holy shit, ford is gonna get fricking destroyed if he steps into a cage, Iv had legit 10 times the martial arts experience this moron has had, holy shit this will be hilarious if it happens, cm Phil all over again
He needs to watch Punk's matches to see just how badly this could go.
montez is nothing like punk.
I didn't say he was, I'm just saying he should train hard and know just how badly he could potentially embarrass himself.
homie he has even less martial arts credentials than punk has lol
>He revealed that his military background includes extensive hand-to-hand combat training.
Do they really train the troops in hand to hand combat? Surely contemprary warfare is all about drones and computer controlled robo-guns and shit these days. It's not like thousands of years ago where you'd be given a spear and told to run into a group of rival soldiers.
they do but there isn't a big focus on it because it's not expected they would find much opportunities to use hand to hand combat
They are also trained in a kill-or-be-killed situation so I don't know what the frick he's thinking. No one's teaching army grunts armbars, it's chokes
MCMAP is the biggest waste of fricking time ever and the Army's combatives instructors routinely destroy Marines in military combatives tournaments
>MCMAP is the biggest waste of fricking time ever
True but thats all military combatives. Only thing that the competition proves is that the army has a bigger pool of mmatards to pick from.
lmao that dumbass Nick Khan is gonna bring back inokism and end up making WWE's wrestlers look like b***hes when they get beaten
>Montez Ford
What a great loss to wrestling's credibility.
this homie isn't even the best shoot fighter in his fricking tag team
If he ever took the piss test it would come back nuclear
>33 years old
Yeah think it’s a bit late now dummy
homie thinks cause Bobbo won some fights that he can do it too
He’s gonna get destroyed like Phil
He is shredded and explosive physically
I might have enough interest to watch it
What's his weight class?
Would probably have to cut 185, which might be a huge cut for him
He can go away. Hopefully he brings all the reddit nu-Black person wrestlers like Swerve, Trick and Carmello with him.
He is a homie
I'll bet my money that he is gonna thrive in the UFC.
I would watch it tbh hope someone in UFC calls him out
Montez please impregnate Bianca before she leaves your ass when you lose badly.
>remains a popular WWE Superstar and is renowned for his athleticism
>starting MMA at 50 years old
he should start by fighting UFC legend Phil brooks, should be a good bracer for him,
