10 UFC Fighters Who Should Cross Over To WWE

Kimbo Slice UFC fans will viciously beat away any comparison of their sport and WWE. True, it is apples and oranges, one is a legitimate sporting contest and the other is scripted entertainment. However, the reality of UFC and WWE's shared dynamics are clear. UFC President Dana White himself admitted that the first thing he did when becoming President of UFC was to study Vince McMahon's business and Pay Per View model. Dana and Vince have a good relationship and get together now and again to talk business. They are after all both promoters who are selling fights between superstars, they are both competing for pay per view buys, sometimes from fans who will buy one or the other. The UFC and WWE are much closer in nature than either side would care to admit. Many WWE stars have watched UFC and fancied a shot in the octagon. Bobby Lashley and Dave Bautista both jumped ship to MMA, and Brock Lesnar famously made it big in UFC, becoming the biggest box office star of the MMA brand. In terms of MMA stars going in the other direction, UFC to WWE, Ken Shamrock was the pioneer. The tough fighter was one of UFC's original stars, before joining the WWF in the Attitude Era and winning fans over with his harman style. Most recently Brock Lesnar has jumped back to WWE, and brought his MMA gimmick with him. Both Lesnar and Shamrock have done very well as Ultimate fighters in the WWE, here we look at 10 other UFC fighters, past and present, who should cross over to WWE...
