“I definitely have interest in doing [MMA] it myself. I’m going to keep it clean as one of the owners now and I’ma just take the steps. I’m always training and if the opportunity presents itself into something that’s fun and could be good for everybody, I don’t see why not.”

“I look at them [influencers and actors] and think that it’s really entertaining and fun and I think they got a lot of ba**s for doing it. I just respect it and I love it. It doesn’t make me more angsty or anything but just for the entertaining side and for the sport side of it I love watching everything.”

Anyone who has followed Wiz Khalifa’s life and career would know that he regularly trains in MMA. He took up fighting as part of his campaign to pack on serious muscle into his once-lean frame.
