Angle will be joining Ken Shamrock, Kimbo Slice, Tito Ortiz, Royce Gracie, and other MMA stars/legends at Dave & Busters in Maryland Heights, Mo. on Thursday. He is then scheduled to attend the live fight card on Friday.

Included on the Bellator fight card is fellow TNA wrestler Bobby Lashley, who is scheduled to face James Thompson in a Hvt. division fight. Thompson is the last person to defeat Lashley in MMA.
