Wrestlers in UFC
 

Which wrestler do you think would make it in real fighting competion? Whether it would be UFC, PRIDE, or whatever.

My first choice obviously would be Kurt Angle.

Angle, if his neck weren't shot, could probably shoot with the best of them.

Benoit.

If he was younger Taker. Benoit also

Low Ki and Samoa Joe.

All of those dudes (minus MAYBE Angle depending on how he could take a punch) would get destroyed in MMA..

They are not trained how you have to be to make it in MMA..

MMA? I'm not familiar with that.

Well no one said that they wouldn't be trained you know.

Mixed Martial Arts. It's what UFC is.

Oh, I thought it was a new federation or something. :shifty:

It's this at work...

Well, it's still a stupid topic because anyone with the proper training and determination could "make it" in MMA..

Didn't Sean O'Haire try, but get owned in K-1? OR did he do okay? Akebono did it and was horrible.

Anyway.... MAYBE Angle, Shelton, or Brock... Mainly because they all have amateur wrestling experience. Steve Blackman could have a shot too. ( If ya want to be bloody obvious, Shamrock, Severn, etc.)

This dude (white shorts) prolly could make it with out training..'

It's Ahmed Johnson!

*marks out*

Looks more like a buff Issac Hayes..

I actually thought Sean O'Haire was doing preety well. I heard he won a title or something

Maybe he did? I didn't look into it at all. I just haven't heard of many wrestlers making the transistion and doing well.

Sean O'Haire has lost more fights than he has won. Granted, he is losing K-1 (kickboxing) fights against the best in the world like Gary Goodridge but he is losing none the less.

The only guy I'd give any small hope to in the WWE would be Rob Van Dam. He is the only guy with enough martial arts background who is young enough and injury free to stand any chance. Angle is fucked and Daniel Puder showed what chances he'd really have.

I dunno. I don't know if Angle was expecting that type of shoot during that segment. I think there's more of a preparation. If Angle were to actually prepare for something like that, I think it'd be different.

Yeah I mean look at the Angle invitational, he was ready for those and he won every one! Well Except for against Eugene, but Eugene was mor prepared than Angle..............

Well if he didn't then he is a fucking dick. He should know better to shoot on professional fighters and not expect a comeback. And Angle also has stated many times he has very little feeling left in his arms and fingers. He is at a huge handicap before even getting into a competitive match. And he didn't go to Olympic Trials for wrestling because of his neck injury. He'd get absolutely murdered. He probably wouldn't even get medical clearanced by the Nevada Atheltic State Commission to even fight.

have you watched ufc or any mma? it doesn't matter what your "special" martial art consists of. 99% of the time the fight ends on the ground. unless you have a defense only specialty like joyce gracie, any martial artist would be destroied by a trained wrestler be it greco-roman or whatever.

lol try telling Chuck Liddel, Andrea Arvolski, and Rich Franklin 99% of fights finish on the floor, very few people have a knockout punch, very few pro wrestlers do, and to make it BIG, you MUST have a knockout punch/Kick. Takedown defence and summision is a big help also, but shoot fighting alone won't cut it in MMA.

Shamrock in his prime would beat Angle in MMA, as Angle would beat Shamrock in an Amature wrstling match. Angles amature career he never had to worry about being kicked or punched in the face, wrestling defence is very minimal. I doubt very much any wrestler in the WWE could step into the octagon and beat any of the current UFC champions.

Two very different sports, UFC fighter could make it in MMA but I highly doubt any WWE superstar would cut in in MMA.

Who is the Joyce Gracie fella anyway?

You don't know who Royce Gracie is??

O_o

http://www.roycegracie.tv/

I'm gonna find some footage for you..

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Uf4zgzNEo...royce%20gracie

Strange thing is, the guy he's fighting is the dude that fought Big Show at Wrestlemania..

http://youtube.com/watch?v=-JN5iJdP9...royce%20gracie

Nice little video of him dominating on the ground..

Crazy because he was so crafty at making people tap, the ref misses it most of the time..

p.s.there's a dude fighting in PRIDE now who calls himself the "Gracie Hunter" because he's beaten most of the Gracie family..

Na, I know of him, im just not too familiar with his sister Joyce

Also, congrats on not getting it

Yeah he knows who Royce Gracie is, he just didn't know who Joyce Gracie was retard.

Yeah, basically no wrestlers would stand a chance, they don't know how to properly fight. That includes Angle.

:p

chill Newstead you cunt, I was fuckin about

Oh and also, MMA is about a bazillion times better than pro wrestling. Just thought I'd point that out.

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

I replied before I saw your posts explaining to him that he was a dumbass, by the time I had posted it, it was too late.

Eat a herpes ridden dick, you load of faggot..

p.s."The Gracie Hunter" is named Kazushi Sakuraba..

I guess we should call Wanderlai Silva the Kazushi Sakuraba hunter then :(

I don't know who Wanderlai Silva is..

Wanderlei Silva*

Goddamnit, you cockjawed fucker..

I wanted Jewstead to tell me who it was ala "joyce gracie"..

Getting Wanderlei wrong is a bit different than Royce. It's not exactly the easiest name in the world to spell.

Yes, but that doesn't mean I could tell that Joyrider knew who Gracie was regaurdless of a typo..

p.s. you are a retarded pile of shit..

Arnold Schwarzenegger

P.s. you have chosen the most handsome picture of me ever.

Broked cheekbone and fatlip

it was me who made the Gracie typo. its easy to make. its pronounced "Hoyce" and without thinking I put a j because most latin based languages J is pronounced H. so, I am sorry for the mistake. I know he's not latin but Brazilian.

I've been following MMA, not just the UFC since UFC 1. I RELIGIOUSLY watch UFC and Pride more than I EVER did for wrestling.

Rob Van Dam has more variation in martial arts than you think he does. I'd also be interested to see where you got the "99% of the time the fight ends on the ground" arguement. You should be asking yourself if you have watched MMA before you think about asking others dude. Especially since you don't even know Royce Gracie. And funny enough, you mentioned fights don't end on the ground when you have a "specialty" like he does. How many Gracie fights have you seen end standing up anyway? How can you seriously say you know anything about MMA and not know how to spell Royce anyway? Sorry but it's not an easy mistake to make as you said. You could have even copied and pasted from another site just to save yourself the embarrassment.

And as for any martial artist being destroyed by a trained wrestler, you must still be living in 1995 or something. Up here in the real world in 2006, all the champions in the UFC don't not have world standard wrestling backgrounds. Only Chuck Liddell has any competitive wrestling background from all of them.

when ufc first became big..ala 1995, the fights were longer and more hardcore. nowadays if someone punches someone else two times the fight is called. its stupid now. so, going by old school ufc rules yes, a trained wrestler would destroy a martial artest. If you are going to attack my knowledge because of a typo then you are a sad little man. go rent all the early ufc dvds and I want you to tell me how many fights were won because of a spin kick!:rofl:

Erm.... how many now are won on a spin kick? And what's 1995 got to do with current day MMA?

ROFL.

Joyce Gracie.

It is worth noting just how seriously injured Angle is. The guy shouldn't be risking his ass as-is, let alone enter a real fight. A healthy angle might fare well, but modern-day Kurt is a dead man walking.

this is better than ufc: Kimbo/Gannon bareknuckles

Don't quit your day job.

you're welcome.

UFC>WWE>Snuff Films>A nine inch spike through your dick>That Trash

true, but nobody has EVER actually made a snuff film.lol

If they did, it'd probably be better than WWE on my list. ;)

And what happened to Sean Gannon again? Oh yeah, Brandon Lee Hinkle absolutely handed his arse to him in Gannon first (and last) UFC fight.
