Gina Carano— Who else thinks…?
Only Cyborg which she got beat at her own game. At least she still looked prettier than Cyborg after taking a beating.
Kurt Angle as a MMA fighter?
What do you think of these pro wrestlers as mixed martial artists?
Kurt Angle – There runs a story abound that one time, Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar held a shoot wrestling match one day. It is told that Angle easily manhandled Lesnar (who, may I remind you, has won the UFC Heavyweight Championship), a guy who wins fights because of his ability to control people. If Angle could manhandle this physical specimen, imagine what he could do if he took some MMA training seriously (before his 9 neck injuries).
Bryan Danielson – Danielson is a tremendous athlete that became an international professional wrestling superstar with his MMA strong style. Danielson incorporated MMA-style strikes and submissions into his repertoire. Danielson also has trained at Xtreme Couture and at one point it was even rumored he might turn to MMA after leaving ROH. If WWE wastes the American Dragon’s talents, MMA might be an avenue for him to explore. Not to mention he’s still in his 20′s I believe.
CM Punk – CM Punk has a legitimate Muay Thai background, along with being known to have trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. While he may not be in quite as good physical shape as some fighters, I believe that he wouldn’t do half bad for himself.
Shelton Benjamin – I recall reading stories years ago about how Benjamin could roll with anyone in the WWE locker room. That includes his former roommate at the University of Minnesota, Brock Lesnar. At least that’s what I remember. Benjamin was a great amateur wrestler and if he could.
Samoa Joe – Joe could make 265. He’s trained MMA and kickboxing before. Despite people ragging on him for his weight, he’s a tremendous athlete. And he’s already got the perfect catchphrase and nickname.
Eve Torres – Eve Torres is a tremendous and stunning athlete. She’s a looker that could make her the next Gina Carano. Besides that, Torres already trains kickboxing AND in addition she also trains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with her boyfriend Renner Gracie. She has a much better shot at breaking into the MMA scene than Victoria’s failed attempt.
Jack Swagger – We all know that wrestling is pretty much the best based to be successful and dominant in MMA, and here in Jack Swagger we have a top level amateur pro wrestler and All-American. Swagger’s got a big frame and also what CM Punk used to call freaky retard strength. Swagger has all the building blocks of a good MMA fighters.
They would be meh.. btw steroids aren’t allowed in the UFC so they would be fcuked haha
I have knowledge of pro wrestling and I am aware that most of those guys are double tough and great athletes with fantastic pain thresholds, but again, fighting a pro MMA fight at even the lowest level is something beyond most athletes. Lesnar and Lashley have stepped up, let’s see some more.
Kurt Angel would have surely been an elite MMA fighter, if he had gone right into it after the Olympics. Free style is not as easy to transfer to MMA as Greco-Roman is, though. Still, he would have had ferocious ground and pound abilities, and with the training now available for high level athletes, would have been up to speed grappling wise against any black belt on the planet in a year or so–particularly in a match, when he had the option to punch them in the face.
