He does talk smack and he can't seem to make up his mind whether or not to come into MMA but the choice is not that easy for him. I'm sure TNA is paying him a lot more than the UFC would, they have a track record for pathetic pay days.
Wrestling is the best discipline to have for the transition into MMA and he may be arguably one of the best if not the best wrestler of all time. Give him time to train striking and submissions and I honestly think he could be a force in the LHW division. He has the takedowns, strength, and conditioning to beat an aging Chuck, he just needs to quit talking and start training.

See Chuck-Randleman. I doubt Kurt can shoot any faster than Randleman. Or punch anywhere near as hard.
And Kurt isn't aging?
The guy's a mess physically (and a little bit mentally as well) from what I've heard.
