Another major pro wrestling star is in talks about going into MMA.
Ryback, a 6-foot-2, 290 pound muscular heavyweight, has been in talks with Bellator MMA, although they are not close to a deal.
"Spoke, but nothing close," said Bellator CEO Scott Coker after Ryback, born Ryan Reeves in Las Vegas. Although he recently changed his legal name to Ryback Reeves, he teased the idea of fighting Monday and those close to him have said that he's very interested in the idea.
Ryback, 34, was a WWE regular who left the company over contract issues in May and was officially released in August.
