Batista is famously known for his time as a bodybuilder, wrestler for the WWE, and now a Hollywood star. However, he too announced in 2010 that he would be embarking on an MMA career.

Batista made his MMA debut in 2012, and fought Vince Lucero after his original opponent pulled out. Batista went on to win his first and only MMA fight in the first round of the match. He hasn’t returned to the octagon since, and at almost 50 years of age, it seems unlikely he will do so, unless a lucrative prospect comes along.
