WWE Superstars Ongoing TPB Vol. 04 Last Man Standing

NEWS: Daniel Bryan recently participated in a fan Q&A and the WWE Superstar was asked if he could beat MMA fighter Mike Jackson. Jackson just bested former WWE Superstar CM Punk in a lackluster affair that went to decision. Bryan answered with the following,

"Did they just ask me if I could beat Mike Jackson in a fight? I could beat him on the ground, for sure I think."

Nikki Bella, who was also participating in the Q&A urged Daniel Bryan to prove it and Bryan replied,

"If WWE were to let me fight in the UFC, then maybe."

Video of the remarks appears below courtesy of Pro Wrestling Sheet.

Mike Jackson recently responded to Bryan in an interview with Fan Sided,

"Look Daniel Bryan; I will do you worse than I did your man Punk because I will have no reservations in punching this guy in the face 100-percent. And at will."

Jackson also tweeted:

Hey, @WWEDanielBryan, don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash. You don’t want to get potatoed like your mans did at #UFC225. https://t.co/5ODbOgXhZ5

To which Bryan responded:

Is a Daniel Bryan vs Mike Jackson UFC fight within the realm of possibility? Probably not on the UFC stage. For one, Bryan's issues with concussions and seizures make being cleared for a UFC fight problematic, at best. Secondly, it is doubtful that the WWE would ever allow Bryan to compete and more importantly make money for a competitor like UFC. Additionaly, UFC President Dana White expressed disappointment regarding Jackson's performance against CM Punk at UFC 225 and even publicly questioned whether the fighter should ever perform at the UFC level again.

There is something to all this banter; however, that can serve both the WWE and Mike Jackson, who needs to capitalize on his newfound fame, while the money is there. If the money is right, Jackson could be called up to the WWE for a scripted shoot fight against Daniel Bryan.
