5 Reasons Kurt Angle Could Jump To MMA (And 5 Reasons It Won't Happen)

5 Reasons It Won't Happen

5. Angle Is Likely Just Promoting Himself

Kurt Angle loves to promote. In that sense, he's a bit like Hulk Hogan - prone to telling the odd tall tale or two. Embellishing, let's call it. He's been talking about a jump to mixed martial arts for a long, long time. He managed to insert himself into the world of the UFC this way, and while there was some truth to the rumour that Kurt Angle nearly signed with the promotion, Dana White still had to come out and do damage control and full explain the situation to the masses. Which means the whole "Kurt Angle is going to fight for Bellator" concept needs to be taken with a big grain of salt. His appearance at Bellator 145 was a paid gig to bring eyeballs to the promotion. He did just that by talking about fighting - and there's a chance this is just that - all talk.
