What is the truth about Kurt Angle joining Dana White's UFC?
Is it true that Kurt Angle will fight Kimbo Slice in a PPV fight?
All of these and more is answered by Dana White himself:
Kurt’s Desire To Compete in the UFC: “I like Kurt
Angle. He’s a nice guy. I’ve never had any problems with Kurt Angle.
Good guy. Kurt Angle was calling me to fight in the UFC. He wanted to
fight in the UFC. He wanted to come over here and whatever, especially
after Brock got in.”
Do you want to know what Kurt Angle was offered?
What Kurt Angle Was Offered: “What I offered him
was, I said, ‘Come over here. I’ll put you on ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’
The season Kimbo Slice was on, I was going to put him on ‘The Ultimate
Fighter.’ He wanted to do it. We worked out a deal, but he didn’t pass
the medicals.”
Angle’s claim that UFC Wanted Him To Fight Kimbo Slice:
: “That’s it. That’s all I’m saying. I never set up a pay-per-view
fight for him. I never told him, ‘You’re fighting Kimbo Slice on
pay-per-view.’ Kurt, you’re a good guy, but that’s not true, and that
never happened. I thought it would be interesting, and I thought it
would be cool, but never once did I say, ‘We’re going to set up a
pay-per-view match with you and Kimbo.’ That is not true.
