The 34-year-old is one of the biggest money drawers for UFC and hence he could possibly do a cameo in WWE like Tyson Fury and Logan Paul. The Notorious has always been the top prize for any company since his success in the octagon bringing a lot of UFC fans into the arena for his fight. His possible addition to WWE can change everything for both brands.
2. Jorge Masvidal
UFC Fighter Jorge Masvidal is a big possibility to switch to professional wrestling as his UFC career hints at retirement. Recently, the welterweight competitor has hinted at his last fight at UFC 287 which could possibly be his last fight. After a good record in UFC, the GameBred might look for some fun in WWE.
Masvidal has clearly mentioned it would be his last fight if he fails to overcome his opponent Gilbert Burns at UFC 287. However, if he does manage to roll the dice and defeat Burns, he would continue his path in the UFC. Currently, it is unclear what Masvidal has planned for his future but it would be a wonderful sight for the fans to watch the GameBred into the squared ring.

3. Henry Cejudo
Henry Cejudo is one of the top names in the UFC octagon as he dominated two divisions. His early achievement as the Olympic Gold medalist in freestyle wrestling makes him a great suit for switching to WWE. Cejudo has already made good connections with WWE Legend Triple H who would be happy to see him in the company.
On the contrary, WWE has already succeeded in bringing an Olympic Gold Medalist on board none other than WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. Henry Cejudo would be the second Olympic Gold Medalist if he succeeds to debut on the main roster. His freestyle wrestling skills could clearly bring a whole new level of healthy competition.
4. Israel Adesanya
Israel Adesanya could be the next UFC fighter who can cross over to WWE. The former Middleweight champion had already expressed his thoughts on having a run in WWE. Being grown as a WWE fan, Israel was closely connected to WWE’s Attitude Era liking WWE stars like The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Batista.
Even, the Stylebender did a tribute entrance for WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker at UFC 276 with Vince McMahon and Triple H in attendance. The 33-year-old could definitely try in WWE to complete his long-time wish. Currently, Israel Adesanya will compete against Alex Pereira at UFC 287 in a title rematch.
5. Jon Jones
Jon Jones is a top UFC fighter who can do his absolute best against big WWE superstars. The UFC Heavyweight champion has already picked his dream opponent none other than Brock Lesnar. Being a former UFC champion, Lesnar could have a fight with Jon Jones.
Unfortunately, it is far from happening for real as both stars are in their top positions in their respective companies. But, fans are always ready for the best to happen.
