6. “He’s a great pro-wrestler, but fighting is a different story” – Kurt Angle on CM Punk in UFC
During a recent interview with Digital Spy, former WWE Champion & TNA Hall of Famer Kurt Angle had the following to say regarding former WWE Champion CM Punk’s UFC debut:
“You don’t know how he’s going to do. CM is a fighter – I’ve heard he is training the right way, but you don’t know what you’re going to get. But he will draw, he will draw, and we’ll see how he does.
He says he’s a young 37 years of age, but with all the bumping he’s been through… I know how my body feels! I wouldn’t say he is a young 37, I think that he’s a beat-up 37, but he has been able to take the year off – that’s going to help. I just don’t know how good he is. I know he’s training, but I don’t know how good he is as a fighter. He’s a great pro-wrestler, but fighting is a different story.”
