10 MMA Fighters And Their WWE Counterparts

8. Conor McGregor - Ric Flair

Stylin' and profiln' - it's Ric Flair's trademark, but it's as much Conor McGregor's mantra at this point. The suits - McGregor's all about them. The spotlight? He's never far from it. He's successful in the cage, having won UFC gold just a few years after joining the promotion - and he's huge money for the company. Basically, he's living the lifestyle Ric Flair portrayed as a wrestler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To7061dWIgg Will McGregor go on to have the sort of career in the UFC that Flair had in professional wrestling? Only time will tell, but for now, he's the Ric Flair of the UFC. Woooooooo!
