10 Current MMA Fighters Who Could Jump To Professional Wrestling

5. Kayla Harrison

Kayla Harrison looks like she could have been the bully taking Ronda Rousey's lunch money. Not many women or men have come into pro wrestling with the combat sports pedigree of Kayla. She won the 2010 World Judo Championship, earned Olympic gold in Judo in 2012 and 2016, and two gold medals in the Pan-American Games.

In MMA, she holds a perfect 12-0 record. She has twice won the Professional Fighters League Women's Lightweight Tournament and currently holds that title. Only 31 years old, Harrison is still relatively early in her MMA career. Equally comfortable with striking and grappling, she has won half of her fights by knockout and half by submission. Judo is her specialty, and a high impact, Judo-based finisher would be highlight reel fodder.

Harrison is an all-American babyface who would be ideally used against a dominant heel who has already cleared out the division and needs a new challenge.

Fantasy Match: Kayla Harrison vs. Charlotte Flair. When there are no more foes for Flair to vanquish, here comes the Judoka supreme to bring the Queen down a notch.
