The Fight Club Chicago interview with Dixie Carter
Host: Steven Muehlhausen
Interview available at Sportstownchicago.com/fightclub.

Carter on Kurt Angle in MMA: "Absolutely, he was. Kurt's one of those unbelievable athletes that rises to the top of whatever field. Let's say it's amateur wrestler. Then what's the next big thing he's going to concur? Then he becomes the greatest wrestler in professional wrestling history. Then, it's like, 'OK. I've done that. Now, what else am I going to do?'

"He really wanted to fight. He started training for it. But, I said, 'Look, if we can't get the right deal with the right organization to do it with, it's just not worth doing if we can't do it at the very top level.' So, that's why he decided to make a run at the Olympics at his age. And I've got to tell you, if it hadn't been for that last-minute injury, I think he was just pushing himself so hard, working for me and training. I really feel like he had a good shot of making that team."
