Since the UFC was founded in 1993, it has been growing rapidly in popularity. Seeing that Brock Lesnar made the jump from the WWE to UFC, this is a list of which athletes I would like to see compete in the Octagon. Lets not forget Lesnar had a short stint in the NFL playing in the preseason for the Minnesota Vikings.

1. LeBron James

Now the reason King James is on this list is because he is a freak of an athlete. Standing at 6 foot 8 inches and 250 pounds, the man can move. Most of us have seen that block in the finals on Andre Iguodala. I think that with the proper training, LeBron can be a beast in the octagon.

2. Rougned Odor

There is one reason why Odor is on this list, and that is the vicious punch he threw at Jose Bautista. That punch was mean; it knocked Bautista's helmet and shades off his head. He could be a deadly striker with some training.

3. Odell Beckham Jr.

Football fans know that Odell got into a physical altercation with the next guy on the list. We all know Odell is one of the best receivers in the NFL, and he has a short temper. Odell is a pretty good trash talker as well, getting in fights on Twitter.

4. Josh Norman

Last season Norman got in fights with two of the best players in the NFL. As I mentioned above, Norman got in a fight with Beckham on and off the field. In the game between the Panthers and the Giants, those two were going after each other. The other player Norman got in a fight with was Cam Newton. This fight took place in training camp, where Cam Newton choked Norman.

5. J.J. Watt

Watt is the best defensive player in the NFL, and is a freak of an athlete. Standing at 6 foot 5 inches and 290 pounds, the man can move. I think he might be able to play professional hockey. As seen by the picture, he has had games where he has had nose broken. Watt also has an insane work ethic. On a plus side Watt is sponsored by Reebok, which is the main sponsor of UFC.
