5 UFC fighters who were influenced by WWE Superstars

#2 Robbie Lawler

'Ruthless' is a big fan of WWE Superstar, John Cena

If we talk about those that epitomise the very best of MMA and embody the spirit of a warrior, “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler’s name would be ranked at the top. His thirst for blood and his penchant for violence saw him become the UFC Welterweight Champion, and Robbie has been involved in some brutal fights - most recently against the likes of Rory MacDonald and Carlos Condit.

Looking at Robbie, you wouldn’t think he was a fan of professional wrestling. However, you’d be shocked to know that Lawler is, in fact, a big John Cena fan! Robbie was in attendance at WrestleMania 33 along with his son, and reportedly vowed to do the ‘You can’t see me’ hand gesture if he scores a knockout in his next fight!

If King Mo’s words are to be believed, ‘Ruthless’ might’ve even shed a tear or two when Cena popped the question to Nikki Bella at WrestleMania 33.
