MMA Stars/Legends Who Never Fought In The UFC

MMA Stars/Legends Who Never Fought In The UFC
April 20, 2018
By Ryan Porzl

The UFC has been around since 1993 where it's been consistently the number one North American MMA promotion and since 2007, the number one in the world. Since UFC became the top promotion, many fans and the media have constantly said for someone to be "for real" or mean something, they had to be in the UFC. However, that isn't and never should be the case. Many fighters have had great careers with a lot of them becoming legends without ever stepping foot inside the octagon. Here now are MMA stars and/or legends who never fought in the UFC. For the record, I won't include Fedor Emelianenko because everybody already knows he hasn't and he's usually the first person people think of.

MMA Fighters Who Transitioned to Pro Wrestling

MMA Fighters Who Transitioned to Pro Wrestling

Back in January, former UFC & Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey made her WWE debut at the Royal Rumble PPV. Despite Rousey being a huge pro wrestling fan and the fact it's been rumored for some time, many MMA fans can't see why anyone would go from MMA to the "fake" world of Professional Wrestling. The interesting thing is that many big MMA names and legends have begun in MMA and did wrestling at some point. With Rousey having just debuted at Wrestlemania, we'll take a look at MMA Fighters who later dabbled in pro wrestling. Keep in mind that this list will only feature fighters who started in MMA and then did pro wrestling whether it be short term or long term. That means that wrestlers who then did MMA like Brock Lesnar, Ken Shamrock, Kazuyuki Fujita, Masakatsu Funaki, Kiyoshi Tamura, Minoru Suzuki, Dan Severn, & Kazushi Sakuraba don't count.
