which former WWE Superstar has the best chance at being successful in UFC?
-Sean O'Haire
-Bill Goldberg (owned by Jericho btw) -Chris Jericho (Owned by HHH's dog) I think HHH's dog would be the best bet here ok, what do you think about Lesnar? Do you think he has a shot? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I really don't see any of them winning anything. None have any real MMA training. O'Haire went in and was average at best, and I think he would handle those other guys.
Lesnar is big, nothing more, he is a college wrestler....I was a college wrestler, and would get my ass handed to me by any MMA fighter. Size means nothing, just watch some of that russian Fedor guy. Goldberg is too old and Jericho is just a average size PRO wrestler. Pro wrestlers are oddly soft, Most of the "bad-asses" get their asses kicked by the little guys (Vader by Orndorff, Goldberg by Jericho and a Limo Window, Sid by Pillman) |

The thing that Lesnar had going for him is the fact that he's a pure athlete, he'd have to learn to throw strikes, not just wrestle.

Strength means nothing if your not trained. He could be the strongest guy ever, Doesn't mean crap. While he is trying to throw punches he just learned, he would have his arm broke behind his back.
Kurt Angle is a better wrestler than Lesnar ever was, and he got owned by Daniel Puder who had LITTLE MMA training compared to most UFC guys. |

The reason I say that Brock would to really good in the UFC is because people who are pure wrestlers can pull off decision victories purely based on the fact the can lay a guy on his back and lay on him. If you've ever heard interviews with Matt Huges we always talks about that. Matt Huges was an all-american in wrestling and when he first started doing MMA all he would do is shoot a guy to the ground and just start punching. Matt Huges wasn't in the class MMA wise as his opponents but he was freakishly strong and able to keep people down. Obviously Brock would have to learn how to throw hands, and would have to learn some submissions if we were to become a champion, but as of right now I know for sure he could take a few people and pound them into the mat. I think you totally under estimate just how strong Brock is, and just how good of a wrestler he was and is. If Brock goes into the UFC tommorow he could win a few fights. But like any MMA star he'd have to learn some boxing and submissions to compete with the better fighters like Jeff Monson, Marcio Cruz, Gabriel Gonzaga, Frank Mir, Tim Silva, and Andei Arlovski. But like someone said before me, he's a pure athlete with a tremendous work ethic or else we would have never reached his levels in wrestling. If he does in fact join UFC, which Dana White has shown intrest in him, I think he could be competing for the Heavyweight Championship in about 5 years. |

Finally, this guy understands. And puder accepted and amature wrestling challenge, then was easily pinned while trying to do a key lock on Angle. I could beat your face in while you give me a spinning toe hold i can't escape, but who would everyone say won? that is not "ownage"

They need the weight divisions to be licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Comission. It would ruin all credibility with them if they went back to freak shows. And the sport has evolved too much now for people to want to see that. |

And you must not know MMA or have seen the encounter or you would know what happened. They tied up, Angle tried to outwrestle Puder but he got caught clean in a kimura and it was goodbye to Angle's arm until the refs screwed Puder. He couldn't even bring himself to shake his Puder's hand after it. Puder OWNED Angle. That's the end of it. |

Actually he managed to get his shoulders up before the count. The ref still counted to avoid Angle from tapping out.

ok, so we put puder and angle in a ring, and put them at it, everyone gets psyched up properly, good preperation etc. Puder would win?

Might as well make it the first ever MMA casket match because Kurt Angle would be leaving in a box.

Was that actually a legitimate wrestling match, or did Puder try and act like tough shit on national TV.

Puder shot on Angle.
Whether Angle expected to walk him through or expected him to shoot is another story. Last edited by Xero; 07-02-2006 at 03:34 PM. |

First of all, Puder's rigt shoulder was never down. He raised it even more when they screwed up over.
As for Puder acting like "tough shit on national TV", Angle was shooting on everyone before Puder accepted the challenge. Whether Angle thought Puder would just try and tie up or whether he'd shoot is someone only Kurt Angle knows. If he thought he wasn't gonna shoot then he is a moron. Puder had every right to shoot in, defend himself and beat Angle at his own game. |

Well, I'll answer my own stupid question. Kurt wouldn't reverse that Kimura because to reverse that kimura he would have to spin out and stand, which would have ruined the intent of that shoot. The shoot was to see who the better wrestler was to see who could pin a man to the mat, and Kurt for the most part did that. In that situation Angle didn't het OWNED he didn't even get beaten. That was a WRESTLING compition not an MMA compitition, and even if it were a MMA compition he didn't have Angle beaten. But don't let the fact get in the way of a good story. |

I do BJJ and that wasn't a bad kimura in the slightest. I've seen worse arm locks rip tendons. There wasn't an ice cube chance in hell of Angle getting out of it. He doesn't know submissions. And for the last time, it WASN'T a wrestling competition. And even if it was, he didn't pin Puder. Puder was in control. |
