Jake Hager is one of the many men to have set foot in both the MMA world and the pro wrestling world. The AEW star manages two different careers and sometimes fights for Bellator in MMA.
He recently competed with Junior dos Santos in AEW as the former Brazilian UFC champion figures out his future. He got very honest on the things he could do.
“It was really cool to be a part of that angle, kind of pulling a rabbit out of our hat each week, testing the limits and seeing what we could do,” AEW star Hager told Mandatory. “The Minneapolis Street Fight came together because it’s known in all the streets as the deadliest of street fights, and this was the only place this angle could culminate at. No, it was really cool to be a part of, like Dan Lambert on the mic is absolutely pure magic, so fun to work with. Junior dos Santos, oh man, that guy’s gonna be a pro wrestling champion one day. He like really wants it and really loves the sport, you can tell, and those guys are so eager to learn and like do this stuff.”
Junior dos Santos has been working with AEW as he currently trains at American Top Team with Dan Lambert. The gym owner is a huge fan of pro wrestling and has been getting MMA fighters to cross over.
Junior dos Santos has been flirting with AEW and boxing after his UFC release. The heavyweight will have plenty of options should he choose to continue in pro wrestling.
