Yeah, the sad thing is that people will say Angel beat a champion MMA fighter if he wins…and omit that it wasn’t in an MMA fight!

They might as well have a rock,paper,scissors PPV match in my opinion. The match is still in the fighting genre but it still doesn’t prove anything. Also, how big is it of Angel to say that he missed the boat on MMA because of his age…but his opponent for this thing is Randy?!

It’s a shame that all this UFC mess prevents Randy from actually fighting Angel…if Angel would even fight him in the first place.

Yeah, I’ll watch it as well. Should be very interesting being that both guys are very highly skilled wrestlers. With the striking taken out of the equation, I think I give Angle the advantage.

Thumper says:

Greco Roman wrestling does not allow holds below the waist so advantage Randy; no ground and pound, advantage Angle.

I agree. Except, you know, for the part where no Greco-Roman favors Randy, since Randy was the Greco-Roman wrestler and Kurt was a freestyle wrestler…

So yeah, I disagree. Although I also don’t care.

Jacare couldn’t submit Randy, what chance would Angle have, he may be a great wrestler, but wrestling does nothing more in submission fighting than allow you to work positions real well. Randy has been training in submission fighting for quite a long time now and has quite a bit of experience, all Angle would be able to do is hold him down, if that.

If Angle didn’t break his neck several times, I think he would’ve been a great MMA fighter.

Angle vs Couture in a submission wrestling match is something that I’ll watch. I think Couture will win, but Angle will give him a run for his money.

You would have to give the advantage to Angle in this format as he is an experienced wresteler, or maybe not as submission or ‘Catch’ wrestling is quite different from Greco Roman. By the way Eddy, it is nothing like pro wrestling.
