Wiz Khalifa hints MMA debut
Legendary rapper Wiz Khalifa is inching closer to making an MMA debut as time goes by.
Hip-Hop star Wiz Khalifa had the world’s eyes on him when he revealed himself with a body transformation. The rapper went from being skinny to getting jacked. Wiz has revealed several times that he is an ardent MMA fan and has been training Mixed-Martial Arts to get his body right. The fighter has even gone to the extent of becoming one of the main investors in the Professional Fighters League (PFL). A lot of news has whirled about Khalifa making an MMA debut but the fighter himself has confirmed it in a recent interview with Maxim.
“I love watching and [fighting is] definitely something I think about, but for now I’m happy as an owner. But you never know. I am always training so if the opportunity presents itself and is something that could be fun n good for everyone, I could see myself getting in the ring,” said Wiz in an interview with Maxim about his partnership with the Professional Fighters League.
Peter Murray welcoming of Wiz Khalifa fighting debut
After hearing the stand of Wiz, his business partner, and CEO of Professional Fighters League, Peter Murray was very welcoming of the idea. The CEO said he wouldn’t mind which kind of bout it is, he would certainly encourage the superstar to make his debut. Wiz also performed his song “Million Dollar Moment” at the PFL Championship event on October 27.
“If Wiz ever wants to get in the cage, whether it be for an exhibition, for charity, or for a professional bout, he’s got the PFL in his corner. He knows who to call,” said CEO Peter Murray.
