We’ve been down this road before but maybe this time former WWE champion Kurt Angle is serious. He recently spoke to SunSport saying, “I’m talking to several fight companies about doing MMA by the end of next year.”
Even though he’s in talks with several “fight companies” it’s almost clear that he only wants to compete in the UFC.
“I’ve always wanted to do it. I’m the only Olympic gold medalist that will enter the Octagon and it feels right for me.” Angle continued.
He did say that he’s received offers from the likes of Affliction and EliteXC, but those aren’t the promotions that he has his eye on. “I can almost guarantee you’re going to see me in the Octagon.” Angle proclaimed.
Given Angle's age and injuries this may turn out to be an interesting experiment. Age is not so much a factor if he trains/fights smart a la Couture but pre -existing injuries may factor into how far down the MMA road he progresses. I remember reading that Lesnar and Angle would wrestle prior to the big shows and Angle came out on top everytime (no pun intended
