In a recent interview with the UK Sun, Brock Lesnar stated that TNA star Kurt Angle and former WWE star Bobby Lashley do not what it takes to compete in the UFC. Lesnar said, “I am here to represent amateur wrestling and not professional wrestling. Are there other pro wrestlers who can come into UFC like me? Absolutely not. They just don’t have the background that I do. Even top UFC fighters wish they had more wrestling experience in their background.â€￾

Is Lesnar really saying he has more wrestling experience than Kurt Angle? :roflmao:

Lesnar is just being cocky. The guy just showed me how massive his ego is, I think both Angle and Lashley can make it in MMA. Angle can wrestle, and Lashley has the strength and power. I don't know jack shit about MMA, but from a casual MMA fan viewpoint, I would think that both of them would do good

Lashley is a former NCAA Champion or something like that I think, I remember seeing him as an amatuer wrestler in a video they showed back when he debuted.

Angle is much too old for MMA now. His body is falling apart after wrestling professionally/amatuer for almost his entire life. He'd get his arse kicked. Lashley has a chance imo.

LMAO!

1. Angle won an Olympic Gold Medal for wrestling

2. Angle is Lesnar's good friend and Lesnar literally killed Angle's dreams. LMAO! What a dick, but he kicks ass still.

Lesnar is bragging, when Angle won a gold metal in the olympics, along with Lashley holding alot of amateur wrestling titles. I never heard on any titles, Lesnar's won. So Lesnar stop bragging when the two your talking about are better than you.

Kurt is too old and his body's to fragile now to go into MMA. If it had been some years ago then yeah he would have had a good chance. But now nah.

As for lashley I'm not sure but i think he has some sort of good wrestling background. But just coz he is big and strong, Doesn't mean he could make it in MMA IMO i agree with Lesnar even though he is a cocky big headed prick he is probably right.
