Actualy there are alot of pro wrestlers that got into MMA.
That guy Butter Bean is in Pride he lost his only fight to a guy who is only 160 lbs and is a pro wrestler.
I'm sure that if a guy like Big Show was able to get ahold of a fighter he could potentialy do alot of damage but he would be fighting a guy who is also tall and big. Maybe not 7'4" and 500 lbs but a guy who id 6'7" and 300 lds will probably mess him up pretty go if he has experience.
But it all comes down to heart luck and pure determination. you can be the greatest master in your particular martial art but you aren't fighting in that style so anything is posible.
And for the guys that say wrestlers are not tough well you don't train every day lift weights and put on a show like that and not get tough or become strong. Never mind the fact that half of the guys were professional football players and world champion wrestlers/fighters before they came to wwe. I'm quite sure a guy like Angle, Lashley or Shelton Benjamin could do well in UFC but then they wouldn't make anywhere near the money they do.
I'm also sure if there were more UFC guys big enough they would get contracts in the WWE

The Big Show is just that...a big show. The organization that we wrestles (if you can call it that), it not real, its purely entertainment.
The guys in UFC are the real deal. Many have muliple black belts from different disciplines and even that doesn't mean they will be champ.
If the Big Show tried MMA with his current skill set, he would quickly realize that he knows nothing of real fighting and would get defeated by D level figthers.
He would need many years to even have a realistic shot at getting a title. Even then, because of his age, it would be a HUGE uphill battle.

He has a size advantage in the heavyweight division. Also a extremely stron guy. He lack skills in the MMA though. But i could bet that he would win some matches. I mean how r u going to escape a top mount or side or any mount of the Big Show.

Big Show as is... may win some fights because of his giant size. maybe? but, he'd get his as* handed to him by a technical fighter. Sorry... but the Big Show doesn't have the making of a WWE World Heavyweight Champion let alone an MMA Champion.

Maybe Sumo wrestling, but he is too big for MMA. He may have the strength, but his striking would probably be too slow, and his conditioning would be bad to. I'm sure he wouldnt be able to kick either, look at Bob Sapp, that guy is huge. Bob could only box, but he got winded really early in the fight. Bob got beat by Crocop who was like 200lbs lighter.

Pro wrestling is all an act. UFC is real fighting. Learn the difference.

If Big Show joined the UFC there'd be a Big Splat and thats about it.

ask Giant Silva... he is 7'2" 385 lbs. He joined Pride and got owned. His record is 1-6. Size isn't everything.
Not to mention that MMA is real fighting... not play-acting.

As long as he only fought other guys from the WWE who also switched over. Then they add barb wire to the Octagon.

Big Show is an actor, not a fighter.
