Former UFC Star Set To Make WWE Debut Next Week

Shayna Baszler has earned a lengthy career in the sport of mixed martial arts. Having competed in mixed martial arts for well over a decade, the MMA veteran has competed against some seriously tough opponents during her career.

Former UFC champion, Ronda Rousey.

Baszler has gone on to compete under the Invicta FC and Strikeforce banners, among many others. Among them, Baszler had a short run under the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). However, after suffering a four fight losing streak, it would appear that the fighter is now turning to professional wrestling.
