#4 Travis Browne
Trending
Browne doesn’t look as intimidating as any of the previous three entries, although that’s not to say that he’s in bad shape at all – he just doesn’t have the aura of Overeem, the muscularity of Ngannou or, well, the fangs of Arlovski.
He does bring something else though that would be coveted by Vince, and that’s his relationship with Ronda Rousey.

Despite her slide in the past year, Ronda is still one of the biggest names in MMA – and a guaranteed box office draw. We already know that Vince has tried to bring her aboard before – for a possible match at Wrestlemania 32, for starters – but it’s never come off except for her one-off appearance at WrestleMania 31.
Bringing her other half Browne aboard though would be a different thing altogether.
If they came as a couple then I’m sure Vince would be seeing nothing but dollar signs. Even by himself, Browne could be a solid acquisition. He’s big enough for WWE, standing at 6’7” and weighing around 240lbs. He’s a tremendous athlete, too, even if he’s struggled in the UFC recently.
More than that, though, he gives off some of the best heel vibes that I’ve ever seen inside the Octagon.
Something about him just screams “unlikeable”. Whether it’s his relationship with Ronda and her notorious trainer Edmond Tarverdyan, his history of domestic violence, or simply the fact that he comes off as arrogant, people want to boo Travis.
If he came into the WWE with a similar attitude, complete with his links to Rousey – and especially if she could follow him for the odd guest appearance every now and then – Travis Browne would practically be a licence for WWE to print money.
And as we all know, Vince loves money!
