With his current activity of teasing a potential switch to WWE, there is every chance he will end up in the world's biggest wrestling promotion one day. But, the Notorious MMA star is currently serving a six month suspension for a post-fight brawl with Khabib Nurmagomedov. The suspension ends at the end of April and once that ends his future will be more clearer.
