Cain Velasquez is one of the biggest names in the MMA industry following his exploits for several years in the Heavyweight division of the company. Velasquez shocked the world when he appeared on the debut episode of SmackDown on FOX in October and made his in-ring debut in a losing effort at Crown Jewel the same month.



Velasquez recently spoke with BT Sport about his transition to the world of professional wrestling and believes his MMA counterpart Conor McGregor has all the tools to make a switch as well.



Mcgregor returned to UFC with a comprehensive victory over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 last night, after spending months out of action following his defeat at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov.



The former UFC Heavyweight Champion feels promos are the toughest part about professional wrestling, and Conor&#8217;s tremendous presence on the mic gives him an advantage. Velasquez reckons that switching between two combat sports is not that difficult, and Mcgregor can easily replicate his success in WWE.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;I think he&#8217;d be well suited because of his promos. That&#8217;s probably the hardest part and he nails that. And he&#8217;s just a great athlete so he can definitely do it, yeah!&#8221;</blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;It&#8217;s different but there are similarities, this [WWE] is an action sport and it&#8217;s the same thing with fighting. It&#8217;s a different mentality that you have to have when you go out and perform. With the WWE you have to be really open to your surroundings, feel the crowd, hear the crowd. Your timing needs to be correct, well it does in fighting as well, but your timing almost needs to slow down in-between doing a move and registering it.</blockquote>



Cain Velasquez signed a multi-million dollar deal with WWE last year and will be making his next appearance on the Rumble event. McGregor has teased a move to WWE in the past, but after resolving his issues with UFC, it seems like the switch to professional wrestling won&#8217;t come in the near future for the Notorious One.
