Finn Balor and Becky Lynch Discuss WWE Stars Who Could Succeed in UFC

WWE wrestlers Finn Balor and Becky Lynch recently discussed which of their peers they believe could succeed in the UFC during an interview. Their comments come as professional wrestling and mixed martial arts continue to intersect, with many athletes transitioning between the two sports.

Balor named current WWE champions Brock Lesnar and Chad Gable, along with Shinsuke Nakamura and Baron Corbin, as individuals who could perform well in the UFC. He noted Gable's Olympic wrestling background and Nakamura's experience in real fights as key factors. Lynch added that Nia Jax, her former rival and a former WWE Women's Champion, also has the potential to thrive in mixed martial arts.

Chad Gable recently won the WWE Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam 2026, while Baron Corbin captured the WWE United States Championship at the same event. Lesnar announced his retirement shortly after his last wrestling match. Lynch, now focused on the WWE Women's World Championship, recalled a past incident where Jax accidentally broke her nose during a brawl, showcasing Jax's striking power.
