5 WWE wrestlers that you didn’t know had a legit background in combat sports

#3 Jack Gallagher

Gallagher is 2-0 in MMA

It would be hard for fans who tuned into WWE’s Cruiserweight classic to forget Jack Gallagher. He was one of the few wrestlers in the tournament that came in with a great character and he has reportedly pleased Vince McMahon as well. Gallagher is yet to make his mark completely on the WWE scene but what gets him into this list is his MMA background.

Gallagher is an active MMA fighter and made his MMA debut back in December 2015 with a win via submission. He scored his second win in April this year via another submission to have a perfect record of 2-0 in MMA fights. His MMA career is far from over and it would be interesting to see how it turns out now that he is in WWE.
