5 UFC fighters who were influenced by WWE Superstars

#3 Rashad Evans

The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion is considered to be one of the greatest mixed martial artists of his generation. While “Suga” is no longer the irresistible force he once was, he is still one of the biggest names in the sport. However, during an edition of Inside MMA back in 2011, Rashad revealed that he would’ve loved to become a professional wrestler had he still been in his prime.

Rashad went on to reveal that his idol was the “Macho Man” Randy Savage and did an impression of the former WWE Champion. Rashad, like most of his contemporaries, grew up idolising Randy Savage and was influenced by the WWE Hall of Famer.
