WWE's Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch Name One UFC Fighter Who Would Be A Great Heel

The two WWE megastars think this UFC fighter can make the cut.

Top WWE superstars Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have an idea of which UFC fighter can be an effective wrestling villain.

Scripted wrestling and pro MMA fighting certainly have their share of differences. With that said, there are certainly similarities and crossover appeal despite one industry being pre-determined, and the other being a full-fledged combat sport.

That connection was even more obvious when Endeavor, the owner of the UFC, announced plans to purchase WWE and merge the two companies.

Rollins and Lynch appeared on ESPN's First Take and shared their top five list of sports names who could make for exceptional heels in WWE. At number two on the list was "Sugar" Sean O'Malley.

"Oh, he's colorful, he's cocky, he's a loudmouth, got the most punchable face in all of sports," Lynch said. "Terrible tattoos. How could you not hate this guy?"

Rollins couldn't pass on mentioning the color of O'Malley's hair as fight footage played.

"Look at his hair," Rollins said. "Full clown hair," Lynch said.

Rollins, who is the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, then took one look at O'Malley's face and once again couldn't help himself.

"He's got face tats," Rollins pointed out.

Of course, Rollins and Lynch were fully in character while presenting the list and don't appear to have any real beef with O'Malley.

Speaking of O'Malley, he's got the biggest fight of his pro MMA career to look forward to later this summer. He will be challenging Aljamain Sterling for the UFC Bantamweight Championship at UFC 292 on August 19.
