WWE and UFC are two sports entertainment companies and after Endeavor announced the unification of the two companies one of the common situations that we can witness in the next years is the transition of fighters between the two companies, and although they share some similarities, they have very different approaches in relation to fighting style and target audience.
Still, some WWE fighters have mixed martial arts (MMA) backgrounds and can be successful in the UFC if they choose to change careers. Here are some WWE fighters who could make it to the UFC:
BROCK LESNAR
Brock Lesnar is already a veteran of the UFC, having been heavyweight champion in 2008. He returned to WWE in 2012, but still maintains his fitness and mixed martial arts skills.
RONDA ROUSEY
Ronda Rousey is one of the most iconic fighters in UFC history and was the first female bantamweight champion. She retired from MMA in 2016 and transitioned to WWE in 2018, but she is still considered one of the best female MMA fighters of all time.
SHAYNA BASZLER
