This is not the first time Kurt Angle and MMA have crossed paths
The Olympic gold medallist wrestler, who captured gold at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta despite having fracturing two of his cervical vertebrae during the Olympic trials, was Once linked to an appearance on The Ultimate Fighter.
That would be the season that featured Kimbo Slice and Roy “Big Country” Nelson, among other stars. Reportedly, Dana White offered the WWE star a solid chunk of change to appear on the show, but Angle couldn’t pass the medical requirements — likely a result of the numerous neck injuries he sustained over the years.
What Angle might have accomplished in MMA will always be one of those fun what-ifs, but fans will at least get to see him serve as a judge for the heavyweights on the Challenger Series this year, helping determine who gets a spot in the league’s regular season.
