10 MMA Fighters And Their WWE Counterparts

7. Paige VanZant - A.J. Lee

The size, the pep, the perkiness, the bounce in their step - breakout strawweight star Paige VanZant and former WWE Divas champion A.J. Lee have a lot in common. While VanZant hasn't reached the heights Lee did in her own career, the two are otherwise very comparable. Paige is constantly in the media, and Lee was one of the better exposed Divas of her time. They both got their start young (Paige, just 21, was too young to appear on The Ultimate Fighter, and signed directly to the UFC instead). Both have a shot at setting records (Lee's title reign record was recently topped by Nikki Bella, meanwhile Paige could be the youngest UFC champion ever when she gets her inevitable title shot).Both are also hands down gorgeous, not that it should matter, right?
