How would the Iron Sheik do in the UFC?

[G0DSPEED]

AAU Champion in 1971.
Coach for USA Wrestling in 1972.


Here is some examples of his aggression.





He is a proud Persian muslim. He does not like:
1) Europeans who resemble Alexander the Great.
2) East Asians who resemble Ghengis Khan.
3) Hulk Hogan.
4) Kurt Angle.

He would spit on these american jabronis.

 

[KOByFootStomp]

He would Camel Clutch mother fuckers to bolivian!

 

[Gratis]

The biggest 'what if' when it comes to professional wrestlers and MMA is Kurt Angle.

 

[SpiderCrawl]

Shit thread Jabroni.

 

[ookii]

His opponents would display humility after the fight from having a broken vertebra

 

[zxyss25]

He's get popped for steroids

He coudlnt take a punch

He'd pull some illegal WWF move such as grabbing the nut sack or hitting someone with a chair


In other words...BRUTAL

 

[Gilday]

Break their backs and make them humble

 

[bungyo]

I don't know, he's about 40 years out of his prime.

 

[sissypunch]

things could really blow up with him in the UFC

 

[ocfightfan]

He's an A level athlete so I'm sure he would be champ in less than a year.

 

[bootsy]

There was a guy screaming "camel clutch!!!", at 206, was it you?

 

[AusMMAfan]

Iron Sheik Vs James Toney Make it happen Dana!

 

[BenRichards]

Prime sheik like pre-pro wrestler sheik was an A level athlete. If mma existed in time where that version of the sheik existed, I'm sure he would've excelled on some level. He was a pretty dedicated dude early on from what picked up from his documentary.

The other poster mentioning angle is a solid point. If ever a "what if" existed it's got to be Kurt.

 

[91 seconds]

He'd bite and be disqualified

 

[smooth assassin]

dominate

Sheik was a genuine nice guy with some issues but also a genuine bad ass with no fear

 

[ReasonableMMAFan]

dominate

Sheik was a genuine nice guy with some issues but also a genuine bad ass with no fear

Doubt he would dominate...but yeah he's a nice guy when not playing his gimmick.

just my opinion, I know he was a great wrestler, ( not sure of his accolades but was very accomplished in Iran in wrestling) I hated him growing up because of his gimmick, but after reading about him and his trials in life, I became a fan, maybe thats what makes me think he would dominate, but I also took in consideration of him being an all around tough and intellegent guy

The real question is how would have Haku done in mma...

Haku bless??

Uncrowned king??
