5 WWE Superstars Who Fought In UFC

4. Ludvig Borga

Ludvig Borga!? Yeah, Ludvig Borga! In today's WWE, Ludvig Borga would seem like a godsend to the company, as the 6'3, 300 pound monster would likely be pushed to the moon. In 1993 and 1994, that was the plan, as Borga came into the WWE, as he was never pinned in his 30 televised singles matches in the company However, an ankle injury derailed his plans shortly before WrestleMania in 1994, and the WWE completely abandoned the idea, with Borga, real name Tony Halme returning to Japan. In 1997, Halme, who already sported an 0-3 MMA record, made his debut at UFC 13, and was quickly disposed of by his opponent in under a minute via rear-naked choke. His opponent? Future UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion and Hall of Famer, Randy "The Natural" Couture. Borga wouldn't return to MMA following the fight.
