As read on CBS Sportsline and in the magazine FIGHT! and as heard on The Scott Ferrall Show on Sirius, Sporting News Radio, and Fight Network Radio Mon, 20 Aug 2007 15:10:37 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: LR http://fiveouncesofpain.wordpress.com/2007/08/15/report-brock-lesnar-and-tna-are-talking/#comment-1704 LR Thu, 16 Aug 2007 14:59:51 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2007/08/15/report-brock-lesnar-and-tna-are-talking/#comment-1704 I wonder what kind of event that would be, Barnett proving that huge ripped guys still can't take a submission artist? Lesnar was probably told by UFC, and other big name MMA organizations that he probably wasn't going to be able to really handle the top ju-jitsu fighters. Maybe he just wasn't offered anything due to that. I mean, White said Angle would get killed in the UFC. So maybe this is the same situation.

I would have a huge amount of skepticism about a match such as that and, frankly, don't think I could ever be convinced that it was not a work. “It would be a dream come true though if Angle was trying to broker the deal to fight Lesnar in an MMA match that would be promoted by TNA.”

I'm not sure that would fly. Remember Butterbean vs. Billy Gunn or whoever? That was a baaad idea. Josh Barnett mentioned in an audio interview that he was trying to get either Lesnar or Angle to face him in the next IGF show; I can't remember which guy it was though.
