#5 - Baron Corbin

Perhaps Corbin could use his boxing experience to his advantage

Say what you want about Baron Corbin, but he is one bad, bad dude.

I mean, one certainly doesn't get drafted to the NFL if they're a scrub. One also does not win regional boxing championships and compete in national boxing tournaments if they aren't tough enough to do so. At only 33, Baron Corbin has already done all of this.

Plus, he's already lost about 30 pounds as a professional wrestler, so all he would need to do would be to cut an extra 20 pounds or so in order to qualify for an MMA fight. He's already pretty quick as it is, so if he were to improve his cardio and shed some extra weight, he would have the potential to be a fearsome MMA fighter.

Heck, he's already menacing enough right now. I know that he doesn't exactly have the physique of an Adonis, but neither do Josh Barnett, Fabricio Werdum, or Fedor Emelianenko, and they've done just fine for themselves. By no means am I saying that Baron Corbin will absolutely be as good at MMA as Fedor Emelianenko was...I'm just saying that physique isn't that big of a deal, as long as you've got power and speed. And Baron Corbin has plenty of both.
