  - COUTURE INTERESTED IN GRAPPLING KURT ANGLE
Thursday, March 27, 2008 - by Damon Martin - MMAWeekly.com
Embattled UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture would be interested in a submission-grappling match with former Olympic Gold Medalist and WWE wrestler Kurt Angle, according to sources within Xtreme Couture, but as of now interest is all that can be shown.
Rumors began circling recently when Angle mentioned the possibility of competing against Couture in a grappling contest. HDNet president Mark Cuban even confirmed that his cable network would broadcast the bout if it ever came to fruition.
According to Sean O’Heir, public relations director at Xtreme Couture, the bout interests Couture, but “Randy has made it quite clear that he would only pursue such a match, if at all, when he is contractually free to do so.
“At this time, the discussions are merely preliminary and no details of an actual match have been set nor agreed to,” O’Heir commented in a statement to MMAWeekly.com.
No further details have come from Angle or the promotion interested in putting the bout together.
