5 MMA fighters and their WWE counterparts

#3 Urijah Faber and Randy Orton

Orton and Faber are the Yin to Cruz and Cena's Yang

Urijah Faber is a great MMA fighter but one who is always destined to be in the shadow of Dominick Cruz. The California Kid has enjoyed a storied career, but being part of the same generation has Cruz has cost him. Constantly compared to The Dominator, Faber has fallen short on a number of occasions against his rival, having won only one of their encounters.

Randy Orton suffers the same fate. The Viper is sure to go down as a future Hall of Famer, but being from the same era as Cena will ensure that he is always second-best when it comes to discussions between the two. Orton, like Faber against Cruz, has enjoyed minimal success against Cena on the grand stage.

Faber and Orton also play the roles of anti-heroes and villains when compared to the good guy image portrayed by Cruz and Cena. Their’s is a story of always being second-best.
