Kurt Angle recently spoke to Digital Spy and gave his thoughts on CM Punk making the transition to MMA and more. Angle noted that Punk is a great wrestler but said that he doesn’t know how Punk will do when he stepped into the octagon. Angle says he thinks Punk is a “beat up 37” after all the bumps he took during his wrestling career.
“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.”
Angle also gives his thoughts on the Holly Holm/Ronda Rousey match and more. You can check out the full interview by clicking here.
