UFC fighter recalls threatening to kill Kurt Angle at a TNA show, claims Angle confessed he's too beat up for MMA

UFC fighter Marcus Davis told Slam Wrestling that he warned Kurt Angle's agent that he'd kill his client if he took a swing at him at the TNA Lockdown pay-per-view event. "It's actually a pretty funny story," Davis told Slam Wrestling. "Kurt’s agent came up to me and said, 'When you walk into the ring, we want you to try to shake Kurt's hand, and he's either going to shake your hand, or he's not.'"
"Then he asked me if I had signed a waiver, so I said to him, 'Just so you understand this, I'm a professional fighter. If Kurt hits me, I'm not a professional wrestler, and there won't be a show. If he takes a swing at me, I'll kill him.' So his agent laughs and tells me not to worry about it.
"Later I went into the lunch room with (Samoa) Joe, and Kurt is sitting at a table on his own, and he invites us to come over. So we hang out, and Kurt asks if his manager had told me that he may or may not shake my hand. And I laughed about it, and Kurt said, 'I'm just going to give you the finger. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything, 'cos I know you'll kill me!' We both laughed after that!" To read the full story, visit Slam Wrestling.
Powell's POV: I guess this means Kurt won't be fighting Davis when he makes that MMA debut he keeps talking about. According to Davis, Angle also stated that he's too beat up to take part in MMA. Good article. Davis explains how he met Samoa Joe and got involved in TNA. He has a lot of good things to say about his TNA experience.
