Whitesburg, Kentucky's Jessamyn Duke is one of the many women on our list who transitioned from mixed martial arts to professional wrestling. The 5'11" NXT performer is a UFC veteran, who also fought for Invicta FC.

After a promising 3-0 (1) start to her MMA career, Duke would lose her next five fights and finish with a 3-5 professional record.

Record aside, Duke is a rangy, well-rounded fighter who can more than hold her own in a physical confrontation. The country-tough Jiu-Jitsu purple belt demonstrated her impressive striking skills and durability, in a hard-fought UFC victory over Peggy Morgan, back in 2013.

The 33-year-old is a jack of all trades kind of fighter who is dangerous wherever the tussle goes. Duke may not have been a top-tier pro mixed martial artist, but she still has experience fighting at the highest level.
