5 WWE Superstars with the worst MMA histories

One step beyond...

#2 Nathan Jones 0-1

What a waste of potential

In case you’d forgotten, Nathan Jones was groomed for stardom in WWE back in the early noughties when he was paired together with The Undertaker on TV. The eventual plan was for the two men to face off against Big Show and A-Train at WrestleMania 19, however, the company felt that Jones wasn’t progressing quickly enough for a spot like that, so they pulled him out of the match.

Unfortunately, WWE wasn't around to prevent Jones from engaging in his one and only MMA fight, with the big guy losing via submission to Koji Kitao back in 1997. Perhaps the one and only positive of this was the fact that he wrestled in Pride, which was actually quite a highly regarded MMA promotion in its heydey.

What a jerk.
