Brock Vs Angle / Ufc ?

danmart · 10-28-2007, 04:20 PM

With all this press on Brock coming to the UFC it seems that the natural would be an Angle vs Brock match. Of course in order for this to be competive Brock would have to get in shape. I personally do not think that that Brock would stand much of chance vs Angle. Angle who has never been out of shape and does have among other traits great cardio would prevail.
I guess the main key is who could pass a drug test.... Is this a real option or is Dana White trying to be like the WWE? Also can the UFC afford someone like ANGLE?
After all ANGLE has said Brock is a shot timer looking to cash out.

Angle was interviewed by DW for a shot in the UFC

He is / was carrying atleast 4 injuries and DW offered him to train with Randy for a year, he turned it down.

And for what it is worth I think Brock would own KR no question

Brock against "big" tim or CK would be a good fight ;-)

I thought I read that Angle was looking at the IFL? That seemed like his decision.

Pretty sure he was going to be a coach. Also brock is definatly in shape, maybe not on the caliber as rich franklin.

Do you REALLY think either Brock or Angle would even TRY that kind of crap in a real fight?

THEY know pro wrestling's fake just like the rest of us, and I doubt either of them are stupid enough to try that in a shoot fight.

Angle's REALLY a 2-time NCAA Division 1 champion, 1995 World tournament Champion, AND an Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling.

Lesnar's REALLY a four-time all-American, two-time big-ten Champion, and the 2000 NCAA heavyweight champion with a record of 106-5 overall in his four years of college.

Kurt's too old, too beat up, and his legitimate wrestling accomplishments were a long time ago. His potential as an MMA fighter is all in his head, and whenever anyone calls his bluff and gives him an opportunity to actually compete, he shuts right up. I don't even think he's going to wind up coaching in the IFL -- if you're an up and coming pro fighter, are you going to listen to a dude who's never had a single fight but who got rich acting out Loser Gets His Head Shaved matches?

But then a month later, Kurt's back on Bubba the Love Sponge's show talking about how he could beat Chuck Liddell.

i know its not really the topic but i see alot of talk about brock lesnar on all the different forums n such. lesnar needs some more fights under his belt before every1 goes crowning him the next great thing. no doubt his has tremendous power and good wrestling but what about his bjj and stand up defense.

sitnspin · 10-29-2007, 09:45 PM

Couldn't agree more, and a lot of people here feel the same way. Even Subgenius, who can't fully admit that pro wrestling is fake.

I would love to see Kimbo and Lesnar, what do you guys think?

wilshaw · 11-02-2007, 07:36 PM

I don't think that Angle has a future in mma at all, yes he's a good wrestler if he can remember how to wrestle properly that is and not the rubbish you see in the wwf, Lesner on the other hand could have a future but i think he needs to fight the likes of Herring, junk, mccully, wellisch and if he comes through a couple of them fights ok then maybe put him against Frank Mir or Werdum.
He needs a good year or so fighting regularly in the ufc before he has earned the right to compete against the likes of Gonzaga, Vera, Sylvia and so on.

They need to be carefull with his first few fights because from what i have read Lesner has no stand up or submission defence and if he loses his first couple of fights then that will be it for him.

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS NO!!!

Lesnar Vs Angle would be a joke. I think signing former WWF or WWE wrestlers to the UFC is a JOKE!!! Before you know it this will be a circus act.

Great job Dana! NOT!!!!

Also to the comment another member made about Kimbo. Kimbo would get his ass kicked once he stepped in the cage.

Sorry but I cannot get excited about Wrestlers entering the UFC and all the hype surrounding it.Let them prove themselves in a cage against MMA students who are used to fighting.Not wrestling in spandex to millions of shouting spectators who with no disrespect know that the results are pre arranged.................

I'm with you brother! +1

Angle has no MMA experience. If he were to coach a team in the IFL it would only hurt them.
