5 MMA fighters who have appeared on AEW

#2. Amanda Nunes - bantamweight/featherweight MMA fighter

Nunes holds a professional record of 21-5

Amanda Nunes may go down in history as the greatest female MMA fighter of all time. While she recently suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Julianna Peña, she will have the opportunity to avenge that defeat in an upcoming rematch. Should she win that, she will be right back at the top of the pile.

While her UFC career may be historic, her run in the pro-wrestling world was not quite so noteworthy. Nunes received some camera time but was essentially just an audience member during her only appearance on AEW. She didn't accompany Dan Lambert to the ring or save him from a beating.

Given she has since parted ways with American Top Team, a follow-up appearance seem unlikely at the moment. Instead, her full focus is likely on her rematch with Peña as Nunes attempts to reclaim her UFC bantamweight title.

#1. Jorge Masvidal - welterweight MMA fighter

Masvidal holds a professional record of 35-15

During the same segment as Nunes, Jorge Masvidal made his debut appearance on AEW. While his role was similarly minimal initially, Masvidal has since made further appearances and has even gotten involved in some of the matches.

Masvidal certainly seems like a good fit for pro wrestling. He has a ready-made finishing move in his signature flying knee and is quickly recognizable with his long hair and silk shirts. He's also one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts and commands a loyal army of fans.

However, don't expect him to appear anytime soon, as he is currently preparing for a big-time grudge match against Colby Covington at UFC 272. Given the bad blood they have, that will be a huge fight for Masvidal as he looks to avoid going on a three-fight skid.
