According to the Wrestling-Observer Newsletter, a highly-ranked UFC official said that the company no longer plans to ignore WWE’s public “challenges.”
While UFC let Angle’s storyline “open challenge” to anyone from a 4-, 6- or 8-sided ring go unaddressed, it will not be doing that in the future. If WWE attempts to put one of its wrestlers over as superior to MMA fighters, it will respond to put public pressure on WWE to make the match happen.
“Now that we have exposure, we’re not going to be ignoring stuff like this. We’ll go public and have Chuck Liddell accept any public challenges or claims they’ll make,” the source said.

If you refer to a fighter who you've never met in real life as "my boy" as though their performance somehow reflects well on you for simply being a fan, you're a lame ass.

Angle with a bit of stand up training would probably still win against liddel.

I don't know. He'd hold his own in wrestling and takedowns in MMA (I've always thought this) but it would take alot of stand up training to win against Chuck, and who knows if Angle can take a strike or not? It would've been interesting had he gone into it in the past, but now it's too late to ever know how he would've done.Originally Posted by KingWayLast edited by Snitsky; 07-03-2006 at 02:23 PM.

Actually, aside from Couture (one time) wrestlers have a ****ty track record against the Iceman. You gotta outstrike him, and Rampage showed that it isn't impossible.

Wow HG, I haven't seen that fight in awhile. I remember it seemed like Chuck gassed out after standing with him for awhile and realizing he was not going to KO him, then Rampage took him down and ended it.

Randy Couture and St Pierre are coaches of UFC 4, does that mean Couture is returning to the ring afterwards? o.O He retired, just wondering

If Vince goes along with this and its not scripted the UFC stars are going to run a clinic on the WWE. I hate to say it but its true. Even with some stand up training, Angle would be no match to someone of Chuck's or Matt Hughes calibur. To me it would be a bad idea.

Vince would NEVER let his talent fight MMA champions in real matches. It is simply insane to think otherwise.

Liddel would end Angles career. This fight would not be close and Vince knows better than to ever let it happen.

This sounds interesting - like to hear something like this go down.
I believe Angle would be our best bet - though with the condition he's in, it's not something I'd be too happy about seeing.
Even Chris Benoit, for the sake of arguement could do well if he put in a good amount of training time.
But regardless, would UFC allow WWE suffiencent training time?Professional Wrestler since 2007 (Currently on hiatus)
