Daniel Puder signs with BoDog, Ayre talking “rematch” with Kurt Angle

Daniel Puder, who won the 2004 WWE “Tough Enough” shoot challenge, has signed with BoDog Fight. Puder has some legit heat with Kurt Angle stemming from a run-in on WWE TV where he was supposed to get beat down by the former Olympian, but instead caught Angle in a keylock. I’m not sold on Angle’s seriousness in wanting to fight MMA, but BoDog owner Calvin Ayre has the money to make it happen and it would at least be an intriguing matchup to headline a PPV event:

“MMA is such a multi-dimentional sport that most cross-over athletes find the transition difficult, so bringing them into an organization like Bodog Fight requires a different approach,” says Ayre. “You have to assess their progress carefully. Matching them up with appropriate opponents can sometimes be difficult.”

If Angle does eventually make the jump to MMA, Ayre would have no problem finding him an opponent.

“Puder would be the obvious choice, but Kurt would probably want to get a few fights under his belt first,” says Ayre. “But as a fan, I’d love to see that fight.”
