10 Current MMA Fighters Who Could Jump To Professional Wrestling
4. Megan Anderson
All else aside, Megan Anderson is a six-foot tall, attractive, tattooed Australian. Visually, she is a wrestling promoter's dream. Anderson started her career in 2013. While she had early success in Invicta FC, her tenure with the UFC was uneventful, going 3-3 over a three-year span.
Recently becoming a free agent after her UFC contract expired, Megan is looking for a new home. Your writer humbly suggests checking out the real estate inside the squared circle.
While she wouldn't bring the immediate name recognition of a Ronda Rousey or Paige VanZant, Anderson has enough credibility as a shoot fighter to ease into pro wrestling. In February 2022, Anderson stated that she wasn't pursuing fights and wasn't affiliated with any fight teams or organizations.
With the right tutelage, Anderson could blend seamlessly into a major wrestling promotion. She has television hosting experience and is comfortable on camera. If she were brought on and given early wins over enhancement talent, she could build the foundation for a main event run in the near future.
Fantasy Match: Megan Anderson vs. Becky Lynch. Anderson's six-inch height advantage coupled with Lynch's ability to make her opponents look good is a recipe for a strong rookie babyface run.
