Don't know about UFC but Dmitry "The Grandmaster" Pirog was a chess prodigy turned boxer

He retired 20-0 due to injury, was about to fight Golovkin. He DESTROYED Danny Jacobs to win the WBO middleweight title.

Very slick and intelligent fighter, had a great style to look at.

Not a fighter but Joshua Waitzkin comes to mind. Dude was a chess prodigy and is a Black Belt under Marcelo Garcia.
