Professional Wrestlers and MMA Fighters Pay Tribute to Muhammad Ali

As I sit here, trying to write a buildup for this article, probably for the first time in my writing career, I have run out of words to describe Muhammad Ali.  Often tagged as the ‘Greatest of All Time’, Muhammad Ali passed away on Friday at the age of 74.

His death was mourned by not only his fans but also everyone who knew his name, as someone once said that you don’t have to be someone’s fan to know his greatness. A string of Wrestling superstars and MMA fighters paid their tribute to the legend on Twitter.

Nobody will ever come close to this mans greatness.
And if they do, they better wake up and apologise. #RIPAli pic.twitter.com/ED2wgignB2

The word "legend" may not have been invented for Muhammad Ali but there's no one else it describes better...What a life!
