10 MMA Fighters And Their WWE Counterparts

9. Chris Weidman - Charlie Haas

Chris Weidman is the all-American UFC Middleweight Champion. The man who defeated Anderson Silva twice. A fantastic wrestler. And something of a stiff, wooden bore personality-wise. While this immediately brings Kurt Angle to mind thanks to the all-American image of the fighter, it's actually another Team Angle member, Charlie Haas, who is a better counter-part to the UFC champ. Why? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMXT-7BihQc Kurt Angle proved to have personality in spades (an arrogant, loud-mouth heel personality is still a personality after all), but Charlie Haas, while being a champion himself (as part of the World's Greatest Tag-Team with Shelton Benjamin), had a personality about as exciting as watching paint dry.
