Shayna Baszler Reveals Her Dream Opponent
Just before she became the NXT and Women’s Tag Team Champion in WWE, Shayna Baszler came to a fork in the road on where her fighting career was going to go. This week on
Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette, Baszler reveals what led her to jump ship from being a full-time MMA and UFC fighter for 16 years to honing her skills as a pro wrestler.
“I had a fight against Amanda Nunes. I got a partial tear in my ACL at that fight. Thankfully, I didn’t have to have surgery. I just had to stay off of it for a while,” Shayna Baszler began. “Just the way the UFC was at the time – I don’t think people realize this about fighters, but you don’t have a schedule on when you’re going to fight. It could be two months until you fight or a year until you fight. Knowing I was going to be sidelined with this injury and I’d be thrown at the back of the line, I just didn’t know when I was going to be fighting next.
