TNA star Kurt Angle recently spoke with Digital Spy in The UK and offered the following comments on CM Punk making his UFC debut later this year:
“You don’t know how he’s going to do. CM is a fighter – I’ve heard he is training the right way, but you don’t know what you’re going to get. But he will draw, he will draw, and we’ll see how he does.
He says he’s a young 37 years of age, but with all the bumping he’s been through… I know how my body feels! I wouldn’t say he is a young 37, I think that he’s a beat-up 37, but he has been able to take the year off – that’s going to help. I just don’t know how good he is. I know he’s training, but I don’t know how good he is as a fighter. He’s a great pro-wrestler, but fighting is a different story.”
