#2 Jack Gallagher
With his thin build, old-timey mustache and passageway music lifted from the acclaimed melodic Carmen, WWE whiz Jack Gallagher is about the last wrestler that you may have pegged as a potential intense fighter. But then that could not possibly be more off-base.
Indeed, Gallagher – real name Oliver Claffey – really had a run as a beginner MMA contender preceding joining WWE in 2016. He had two battles on the UK’s beginner circuit, submitting both of his adversaries in the first round – one with an armbar, one with a mounted guillotine stifle.

While his two battles obviously came at a far lower level than you would find in the UFC, even on a European Fight Pass card, Gallagher displayed a few abilities – prominently a strong takedown, great best control and an unmistakable learning of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Might he be able to step directly into the UFC and prevail early on? Maybe not, as his charged weight is 167lbs – which with a touch of cutting, it would place him amidst the UFC’s most stacked weight class, Lightweight.

Be that as it may, there is almost certainly that with somewhat more training, he would have a superior possibility of UFC accomplishment than the vast majority of his WWE peers. Also, with his agreeable and appealing character, he would most likely be allowed to succeed on the off chance that he picked that way.
