However, Deontay Wilder has other things on his mind. The Heavyweight boxer truly believes that he would kill someone if he ever steps inside the UFC octagon.

This time, he has targeted UFC fighters. In an interview with ThaBoxingVoice, Deontay Wilder expressed his interest in a cross-promotional fight with UFC. He said, “I feel MMA, they allow you to get on top of your opponent and bash his face in with velocity and speed coming downwards. Four-ounce gloves, I already talk about getting people out of the ring, but that would definitely be the sport where I show it, man.”
This is not the first time that Deontay Wilder has expressed his interest in killing someone. The boxing ambassador previously wanted to kill someone inside a ring. Well, he wants to do it inside an octagon now.
