A former football player is now an MMA fighter.
Lane beat an opponent in the first round and caught the attention of White.
He told reporters that he could fight in the cage if he wanted.
After auditioning for the UFC on Tuesday, a former football player transitioned into MMA, and he thinks Packers' quarterback Rodgers could do the same.
A former defensive end for the Jacksonville Jags, Lane made his MMA debut in 2017:
The Contender Series matched him against Richard Jacobi for a five-fight card in Las Vegas on Tuesday after he picked up his 11th win from 14 fights.
The referee stopped the action after Lane struck Jacobi low. Lane was back as he tried to put on a performance.
After finishing Jacobi in the first round, the American fighter waited to hear if he got a UFC contract, and then celebrated wildly when he got the good news.
He then addressed reporters in a huddle, where one asked him if one of the three notable NFL players in the game today could make the same transition he has made in the UFC.
Lane picked Rodgers because he is on that ayahuasca kick right now.
Rodgers has won back-to-back Most Valuable Player awards because of his reference to the drink as a reason for his game's improvement.
Lane seems to think that success in the fight game is due to that.
It can help you open your mind to different things when you do ayahuasca. You talk about the martial arts.
Lane said he's a Wisconsin dude through and through. Give me Rodgers.
Give me ayahuasca trips and I'll take them. Let's see what he can do in the cage if I open his mind and allow him to.
Lane was one of five MMA fighters who were signed to the UFC after impressing Dana White.
His debut in the UFC is unknown at the moment.
