WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart to appear at UFC 149, discusses his MMA fandom and the connection between MMA and pro wrestling

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart will appear at UFC 149 in Calgary, Alberta on Saturday. Hart will accompany fellow Canadian Nick Ring during his entrance. Hart was interviewed by MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani regarding the event.

Powell's POV: Ring is scheduled to face Court McGee on the undercard that will air on FX. They don't always show the entrances of the fighters during the prelim special, so there's no guarantee that Hart will be shown. Hart noted in the interview that he doesn't believe he would have pursued MMA had it been popular when he was younger.
