#4 Too old to fight in the octagon
The last time Shinsuke Nakamura competed in Mixed Martial Arts was way back in May 2004 when he forced his Russian opponent, Alexey Ignashov to submit in the 2nd round after applying a forearm choke at the K-1 MMA Romanex event.
Despite being at a serious size disadvantage against the towering Alexey Ignashov, Nakamura was quick to take Ignashov to the ground in the first round and successfully finished the fight in the second.
As I stated earlier, let not his age fool you, for the 36-year-old definitely has many moves in his arsenal that can give a hard time to anyone willing to embroil with him. Nakamura’s professional mixed martial arts record stands at 3-1.
The Japanese stalwart is definitely a force to reckon with, but I believe he is way past his prime, lest he wants to do a CM Punk! 36 won’t be the right age for him to resurrect his career inside the octagon when most of the roster consists of youngsters.
A fierce combat sport where people go for the kill might not be ideal for Nakamura’s larger-than-life image that he has the potential to do great things with in the WWE!
