Daniel Puder: "Kurt Angle doesn’t have the balls to fight me."
By Casey Trowbridge
www.Combat-Hooligans.comOn the 09/25 episode of the Combat-Hooligans.com audio show the on-going war between the Hooligans and technology reached new heights at the worst possible time.
The show started off with Casey, Euan and Art talking about the big steroids bust and what it could mean for all sports, followed by their discussion about three shows which were covered on
www.Combat-Hooligans.com this past weekend: Cage Rage 23 which Euan hated, UFC 76 which Casey loved and Chikara which Art thought was wacky and fun.
The Hooligans then talk about the SAVE_US_222 and its potential meaning and what it would do for the WWE product as well as the first 2 hour episode of TNA iMPACT and the worst gimmick match of the decade, the reverse battle royal at Bound for Glory.
After the break the guys were joined by former Tough Enough champion and current Mixed Martial artist Daniel Puder. Daniel discussed his signing with Strikeforce and why he ultimately chose that promotion.
He talked about his upcoming fight against Richard Dalton at the Playboy Mansion on 09/29. He talked about his training in preparation for the fight and how he likes to approach any opponent. He then talks about why he’s got an extra incentive to end this fight quickly.
Some jokes were traded at the expense of the International Fight league, and then it happened!
Daniel was asked about rumors of MMA groups trying to put together a match between himself and Kurt Angle. He very bluntly stated that he didn’t think Angle had the balls to face him and that Angle had no interest in doing MMA.
The interview was cut short after that due to technical difficulties which have humbled the Combat-Hooligans show Iron Sheik-style for two consecutive weeks.
The interview went about 14 minutes, but as a bonus we provide the first interview that Daniel did for the show back in July of this year.
In that interview Daniel talked about how he got started in MMA, his time in Bodog (he didn’t enjoy it) and of course more Kurt Angle!
