There is no doubt Aaron Rodgers has one of the most proper physiques for an athlete. He was recently praised by UFC fighter Austen Lane who earned himself a contract after successfully transitioning to MMA from the NFL. Lane was a defensive player in the NFL, won his heavyweight debut at Dana Whites Contender Series, and earned himself a contract.

He was ecstatic about his win and spoke about which NFL players could transition to MMA. Lane believes that Rodgers will be a good fit for the sport if he is on Ayahuasca, which is a psychoactive brew used by players. He said the brew opens a person’s mind to different possibilities and careers. Lane wants to test Rodgers’s ability in the cage.

Rodgers is a physical specimen, but he has no experience in MMA. He would need to train for several years before he would be ready to compete at the highest level. Overall, Aaron Rodgers is unlikely to ever fight in the UFC. However, it is an interesting possibility and one that fans of both sports would love to see.
