If Kurt Angle went into MMA when he went into Wrestling back in the mid-90's, he'd be one of the GOAT MMA fighters of his era in the LHW and HW. We look at Lesnar and King Mo and GSP today and are in aw of their wrestling ability...it is the direction this sport is going into today...but imagine Kurt f'n Angle, the Olympic and World Championship Gold Medal winner in the mid-90's going into MMA and just taking the game over with his base wrestling and developing his stand up and sub game...
Would have been an elite fighter.
He is too old now, and was too old when he finally got the balls to give it a go (he is like what...43 now?) and it never happened...but man, imagine a 27 year old Kurt Angle, coming off Gold Medals in free style wrestling going into MMA...beast mode.
