UFC on FOX Crew Pays Tribute To WWE’s Ric Flair — WATCH!

The UFC on FOX crew paid homage to WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair during Friday’s UFC on FOX weigh-in show.

After being told UFC middleweight Eric Spicely views Flair as an inspiration, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier and Todd Grisham both let out an ecstatic “Wooo!”

Cormier and Grisham immediately yelled out Flair’s famous catchphrase when hearing his name.

Cormier has publically expressed his fandom of WWE on numerous occasions. He famously attended WrestleMania 31 in 2015.

Grisham is a former WWE employee. Starting in 2004, Grisham appeared on WWE television as both a backstage interviewer and a commentator. He left the company in 2011 and joined ESPN. Grisham left ESPN and joined the UFC in 2017.

Spicely will fight Alessio Di Chirico in a middleweight fight as part of the FOX Sports 1 prelims on Saturday’s UFC on FOX event in Denver, Colorado. Valentina Shevchenko will fight Julianna Pena in a pivotal women’s bantamweight bout in the main event.
