Bellator MMA has announced that Kurt Angle will attend its upcoming "Fan Fest" on Nov. 5, 2015, in Maryland Heights, Missouri.
"Oh it's true. It's damn true!"
That's not just Kurt Angle's signature catch phrase in professional wrestling, it's the title of Bellator MMA's announcement earlier this afternoon that the former Olympic gold medal-winner will make an appearance for the promotion.
The glory days of pure sports competition for Angle, 46, are nearly two decades removed. Angle famously captured a freestyle wrestling gold medal at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta, Ga., despite suffering two fractured vertebrae and two herniated discs in training.
