Default Olympians to MMA
Does anyone foresee any of the Olympians, American or otherwise, use the games to catapult a MMA career?

The Chinese 120kg was a monster and looked very athletic.

Cejudo says he has interest in MMA, not sure when though. Hrovat is listed as an athlete in the new mma gym opened by one of our very own posters. Maybe Hrovat and Mo Lawal could hook it up in the cage. I could see any of the Russians trying it after now that they have money to tide them over for a while.

That someone is Ben Askren. He has said so in many interviews.

It'll be interesting to see how his performance next week affects the time span of that choice.

I think Lawal would love to fight Hrovat, didnt Hrovat upset him twice, once in the world team trials then in the olympic trials.

It suggests nothing of the sort. If deitchler beat Lester again would it be an upset?

Come on - Canada? A lot of countries (including the one you live in) would have a better shot at multiple golds than they would
