There is a lengthy history of pro wrestlers crossing over into MMA. From the nascent days of this sport, professional wrestlers have indulged their desire to go from work to a shoot. In this episodic series, I will review fights where pro wrestlers foray into the combat world. It’s like a weird, violent version of IMDB and I am DB (Dylan Bowker). This is Pro Wrestlers in MMA #3: Nick Mitchell vs Derrick Lewis.
Mitchell is best known in pro wrestling for his run with the infamous WWE faction, The Spirit Squad. Under the pseudonym Mitch, he was one of Vince McMahon’s cronies/ part of a male cheerleading squad who were in an ongoing war with D-Generation X.
