    Kurt Angle likes to make shit up about his relationship with the UFC--either that or his frequently concussed head tangles up his thoughts and he says things that aren't quite accurate. Either way Dana White has stepped in to clarify Angle's latest claim, that he was going to fight Kimbo Slice on PPV at one point.

    Angle was offered a spot on season ten of The Ultimate Fighter reality series, one that featured Slice among other heavyweights, including eventual winner Roy Nelson. Angle agreed in principle to be on the show but was unable to pass the UFC's medical examinations. White didn't elaborate on what problems Angle's examinations turned up but the former pro wrestler has had multiple head and spine injuries requiring surgery, problems with substances including steroids, drugs, and alcohol, as well as some domestic issues so it could be just about anything.

    Angle has flirted with MMA for several years and is on good terms with Dana White but the 42-year old is very unlikely to ever commit himself fully to the sport.
