William Scott “Bill” Goldberg also famously known as Goldberg is a legendary WWE fighter who’s on running on a part-time deal with WWE. The legendary WCW fighter is going to fight at the Royal Rumble on Sunday. The WWE Hall of Famer is still going strong in the pro wrestler league. Goldberg is set to face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble.
In a recent interview with the celebrity and entertainment news, TMZ, Goldberg shared his interest in the MMA world. Goldberg claims he has the utmost respect and love for the sport. He also spoke about his ambitions to join the MMA world.
“If you know anything about my background when it comes to MMA, I had one of largest MMA gyms in the country back in the late ’90s. That was a dream of mine.”
“I’d be lacking ground game,” says Goldberg
Talking to TMZ, Goldberg revealed that he trained with UFC Hall of Famers like, Randy Couture and Mark Coleman back in the day. “I think my stand up skills would have played well, no question,” Goldberg told TMZ Sports. “Because a lot of people have no idea as to what I’ve done in the past.”
Goldberg also breaks down the difficulties he’d be facing in the modern MMA game, “But, I’d be lacking in the ground game, there’s no doubt — and the problem with a guy like myself is I’d end up hurting myself more so than getting hurt by the other person. I’ll break a hand on someone’s face! I’ll blow my shoulder out trying to choke somebody! At the end of the day, I’m my own worst enemy!”
The WWE and WCW Hall of Famer continued, “So the longwinded answer is I would have loved to have done it if the opportunity was such that it was comparable, if not more advantageous, in the world of professional wrestling. But, at the time, it was a no-brainer for me.”
