February 29, 2008. First Floyd Mayweather signs with the WWE, now MediaTakeOut.com is hearing whispers that NFL's Ray Lewis is close to signing on to the Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts league.

According to a person who works at U.F.C., the Baltimore Ravens star linebacker and the league have been negotiating for months and are close to closing the deal. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "Ray Lewis was an All-American wrestler in high school, and he's just an all around bad a**. He'll fit in perfectly here."

And the insider claims that the deal wouldn't interfere with Ray's NFL career. He explained to MediaTakeOut.con, "We're not looking to sign him on full-time, just a match or two a year - and he can handpick the opponent ... He has such a big name that it will do wonders for the sport."

lol dude will get his shit wrecked like johnny morton.

I call bullshit just on this statement. I can't see the UFC signing someone with no interest of fighting full time.

man cmon now. the comparison between morton n lewis is stupid. they both nfl'ers n that's about it. I'm sure Lewis is a fighter, Morton was a softy wide receiver. Ray will come out amped like he does for pre games, he'll have the mental edge in terms of aggression n bein offensive - without a doubt.

fightin Lewis is like fightin the crazy mf. u gotta just whoop his ass til he drops

I wonder if he's been training previously...I understand from a business point of view, how this could be beneficial for the UFC, but they're basically letting amateur fighters get in the ring with professional fighters, based only on their selling power.
