WWE featured a big UFC 300 booth at the WWE World convention over WrestleMania weekend in Philadelphia, PA. The exhibit had a punching bag in which attendees could have their power measured.
Several WWE Superstars have competed in both the UFC and WWE. Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar both held gold in both promotions and both headlined pay-per-views for each company, including WrestleMania. Shayna Baszler and Matt Riddle also made their names in the Octagon before stepping into the squared circle.
WWE themes and entrances have also been used at UFC events. Israel Adesanya made headlines when he had an Undertaker-inspired entrance at UFC 276 that caught the attention of the WWE Hall of Famer himself. More recently, Adesanya was spotted training with Damage CTRL\'s Dakota Kai.
Expect to see more synergy between the two companies this year as the newly formed TKO Group settles in and they explore new opportunities in the world of entertainment.
