Another UFC star with irrefutable mic skills is Colby "Chaos" Covington.

Never one to shy away from controversy, Covington is a ready-made heel and appears to relish the thought of having the public root against him.

Yes, he's been accused of acting tough for the cameras and copying the likes of Conor McGregor and Chael Sonnen in his approach but is that really a bad thing? Is it entertaining? In my opinion, yes, it is entertaining. When it comes to making the switch from MMA to WWE, mic skills are some of the hardest things an already naturally athletic fighter needs to learn and for Colby, that's something he wouldn't need a great deal of help with.

Considering the 30-year-old is on a six-fight win streak and is widely expected to receive the next shot at UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley's belt, don't expect him to consider a move to WWE any time soon. That said, I certainly wouldn't be shocked to see him make the switch at some point in the future.
