#6 Dolph Ziggler
Trending
Ric Flair once said that Ziggler could take out Conor McGregor. While that may be a stretch, Ziggler's own collegiate wrestling records are unmatched. At Kent State University, he holds the record for the most career wins in the team’ s history.
Moreover, he’ s a 3-time All-Mid-American Conference Champion, winning the tournament in 2000, 2002 and 2003. As it stands, Ziggler holds the record for the most pins in an amateur wrestling career at the collegiate level (82). Better watch out, Mr CM Punk.

#5 Shinsuke Nakamura
Today, we know him as the King of Strong Style, as we see him sweeping in with charisma and obliterating his opponents in the professional wrestling ring. However, Shinsuke Nakamura has had shoot fights in the past, both as a wrestler and a Mixed Martial Artist (it was an edict from the Emperor of Japan, that he had to learn MMA quite compulsorily).
Across 5 fights in MMA, Nakamura won three and lost one, while the other fight ended in a no-contest. While Nakamura hasn’t been in a professional MMA fight since 2002, we believe he is still a beast of a man and can take down CM Punk.
After all, even his professional wrestling matches have various moves incorporated from the world of Mixed Martial Arts. Its no surprise that his knees dislocated Samoa Joe’s jaw, and almost blinded Austin Aries at the Live Event.
