During the Wrestlemania 40 Kickoff, WWE world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins was interviewed by Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. Rollins was asked if he thinks that UFC fighters can make the transition to WWE and here was Rollins’ response…

“No, cause they don’t have the stamina for it. They don’t fight every single weekend. This championship goes everywhere. Especially the top stars over there, they are catered to a certain way. That’s great, that’s their style, that’s what works for them, I understand that. You fight maybe once twice a year, you’re crazy if you fight three times a year.”

”However, to fight over 100 times a year, make all those towns, still be able to train, still be able to do all the media, it’s exhausting. I don’t want to knock Ronda Rousey and I love Ronda, she did a lot for our industry and fight industry in general, but it was tough for Ronda. She tried her damndest and it was hard for her. I’d love for someone to come over and take a crack if you think you can hang, it’s hard.” (quotes courtesy of WrestleTalk.com)
