Kevin Nash challenges Ultimate Warrior to MMA fight the night before WrestleMania 28

While Kevin Nash is out of action after surgery on his nose thanks to those vicious sledgehammer shots from Triple H (wink, wink), he's been on Twitter both reading and responding to critics of his latest run in WWE.
The biggest of which has been Ultimate Warrior.
When asked by a fan why he doesn't ever dye his hair and make one more nostalgia run in WWE like Nash did, Warrior responded by saying he's "not a d*ckhead who thrives on stealing the limelight from young guys."
Nash, of course, took exception to this and laid out a hefty challenge while absolutely dropping bombs:
"Never realized I had a problem with Jim (Warrior). Seemed to get along fine in Scottsdale. Come on my clown, turn that frown upside down. @UltimateWarrior: A true warrior never turns down a challenge. Put up 100K. I'll do the same. 3 rounds. MMA rules. Winner take all. I'm talking shoot, not sports entertainment. Jim Hellwig needs to put up or shut the f*ck up. Day before Mania in Miami area. Warrior will have to pass all HIV and HEP A, B and C tests. I'll do the same. I'm tired of this guy talking sh*t about the boys and me. When they stop it or you tap, I'll quit, or you can apologize like the c*nt you are. @UltimateWarrior You should watch your mouth, you know you're a bitch. You want nothing to do with me. You ran out of your gym to avoid me. @UltimateWarrior You want to go p*ssy name the place and time. If not shut your d*ck sucker and forget my name. Bitch make me 100K richer. I knew i would get no response because i know Jim Hellwig. In the future when my name comes up pass Jim, p*ss."
Actually, considering the source, we can be about 99-percent certain he's just working an angle and doing what Kevin Nash does, which is figuring a way to make money out of a situation that presents even the most remote possibility of doing so. The chances this ever comes to fruition are somewhere between slim and none, and I'm not entirely sure anyone would pay to see it even if we could buy that it would be a shoot fight, which we never could.
Plus, we can be fairly certain Warrior's roid strength is superior to Nash's, anyway. Not to mention, Warrior still actually has two knees that operate properly, as opposed to Nash, who walks like he just emerged from an 18-car pile up.
If we were operating under the assumption that this is legit and these two were actually going to get together and scrap, who would you take, Cagesiders? Kevin Nash or Ultimate Warrior?

I refer you to Henry Kissinger’s remarks during the Iraq/Iran war.
I'd have to go Nash
Two reasons mainly:
1) Not knowing if either has the training to shootfight, I’ll take the taller man with a reach advantage in the standup game. Nash may not move around fast, but if he can punch properly he wouldn’t have to – Warrior would never get close enough.
2) Say Helliweg takes Nash to the ground, which if he shoots with any success he’d get the big man down. Now what do you do? Nash still has ridiculous reach comparatively and could probably reach up and grab the head, maybe go for a choke. If Nash got on top of Warrior? Game over, man. Just too much leverage.
Due to their weight class, the speed is not as much of a limiting factor as one might think, and since Nash has technically been ‘working’ I’d even give him a slight cardio advantage. I’d say Nash by TKO in the second round.
Now, "wait 'till next year" looks like "Watch out for next year!" GO LEAFS GO!
I would definitely pay to see this!
Nash vs Ultimate Warrior would be ugly in such a beautiful way! I’m much more interested in seeing this than Cena vs Rock.
Warrior, no doubt
Height wouldn’t matter in this one. Warrior would kill Nash in the first round. Nash “working” doesn’t give him the cardio advantage. Look up Warrior. He still keeps in shape. I’ve been in plenty of shoots with people taller than me. Its about leverage and knowing where to strike. I see Warrior going low and Nash trying to dodge and twisting an ankle or something. Warrior would tear him apart and it wouldn’t take long. I’m seeing ground and pound and Nash busted open and retired from embarrassment.

heh, Nash sounds like he just cut a Scott Steiner promo
I’d take Nash though. Look at that picture. He’s got the eye of the tiger.
That picture is, um,
yeah.
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.

I've seen Nash in movies doing Karate, he's got skills man!

He was Super Shredder, no? Only a true martial artist could earn that role.

Oh shit. If this fight did come into fruition…as much as I would want Nash to win, I think Warrior would take this. Pretty much for the reasons mentioned in the post. Oh yeah –
Fingers crossed

Knowing Nash
he’d find some way to get Vegas to take his action then bet against himself via 3rd party & take a dive
No need to take a dive probably
If he can’t take Warrior down with a quick couple of punches, he’s probably screwed in any real fight.
I've read that Nash
was the go to bar-brawl fighter for the Clique. Certainly he knows how to fight a street fight. Then again, it is almost a certainty that he, in the entirety of his life, never fought anyone his size.

RULES FOR LIFE:
In a fight that isn’t obvious either way, always take the crazier guy, not the bigger guy. I’m going with Warrior.
Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things.
That's a pretty good rule for life
My money would be on Warrior as well
So go forth, my brethren, and proceed to mark the f*ck out

While the prospects of this does make me laugh Warrior would get killed. Nash would beat him senseless. Former bouncer, 6-11 330lb! You dont need knees to beat the tar outta somebody and when you’re Nash’s size there are very few real fights he would lose.

agree with most
of this except the size part
lots guys his size get worked in a true street fight. its his mobility even with bad knees he moves better then alot big men. a fellow I work with is in his range dude knocks his knees together when he walks. that’s when he is not tripping over his own feet.
He knows the guy with the bandage on his ass is going no were. Were you going fucking no were

Well
size means very little in the way of a real fight. Being big like Nash is actually a hindrance in a lot of ways, because if he runs up against anyone who even remotely knows what they’re doing, he’s going to have a lot of trouble.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
that why you
write professionally and I butcher the English language as a semi pro geno. cause u said it better then I could

He clearly owns a gun.

Nash takes this.
He may have no knees and hips to speak of, but Jim would die of exhaustion if he took more than three steps in a high pressure/intense situation. No stamina.

Warrior can’t win. Nash isn’t in a shitty metalcore band. If all he does is tells obscenities at him like he does those 20 year old douchebags in his tv show trailer he will get Rey Mysterio’d into the side of the cage. HONK HONK!

Here's the Thing...
Nash would undoubtedly tear both quads or blow an ACL on his way to the cage…if not loooooooong before that.
Warrior would likely be so jacked up on, well, whatever it is he’s been jacked up on all these years that he’d be in his basement screaming obscenities about Ho Kogan that he’d never even make it to Miami.
Those two factors alone dictate that it would never take place. Makes the whole “who would win” thing seem kind of irrelevant.
I've got $300 on Warrior.
Nash used to be good…then he took an arrow to the knee. And then another arrow. Then he took thirty FUS RO DAH’s from Trips and it was all over…
