Brock Lesnar has held the UFC Heavyweight Championship belt

#4 Bobby Lashley – MMA

Oh, what could’ve been. If WWE were to have taken a page out of TNA’s booking playbook when it comes to Lashley, they might have had a global Superstar on their hands. The guy has been tearing through Impact Wrestling over the last few years, and it’s not surprising to hear that wrestling isn’t his only form of combat success.

Lashley has also captured Heavyweight MMA Championships for Shark Fights and XFN, in addition to being a top 10 contender within Bellator’s heavyweight division.

Some may not consider these achievements all too prestigious, but Lashley is probably behind only Lesnar when it comes to making a strong transition.
