Another crossover

There’s always been a curious relationship between professional wrestling and mixed martial arts.

Over the years, we’ve seen fighters like Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn try their hand in the WWE, while we’ve also seen professional wrestlers like Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley go the other way and giving MMA a go.

Now it seems that Kurt Angle could be the next former WWE superstar to move into the realm of mixed martial arts, with the 1996 Olympic gold medalist revealing that there is a slim chance that he could accept a fight under the Bellator banner.

Angle joined forces with Bellator last year in a commentary capacity but has admitted that a slight possibility exists that he could swap the headset for the 4 oz. gloves.
