The worlds of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts will overlap once again at this weekend’s UFC 306: O’Malley vs Dvalishvili pay-per-view.
Rey Mysterio, one of WWE’s most iconic stars, has confirmed that he will attend UFC 306 this Saturday, which takes place Saturday, September 14 at The Sphere in Paradise, Nevada, as part of the Las Vegas Valley’s “Riyadh Season Noche.”
The crossover between WWE and UFC continues to grow following the merger of both organizations under the TKO umbrella last year, with stars from both promotions increasingly appearing at each other’s events.
