Re: Top MMAers that wrestled One correction: Paul Bradley wrestled at the Univ. of Iowa.
Whoever gave the list of Pima wrestlers, Jamie Varner wrestled at Pima.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
Re: Top MMAers that wrestled Sherk wrestled in high school. His bio states he wrestled over 400 matches. The outcomes of those matches are not revealed though.
I will smash your face into a car windshield and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out to a nice seafood dinner and never call her again!
Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.
Re: Top MMAers that wrestled I know, I had already mentioned Varner though so I didn't mention him again there. On a side note, Varner is one of my favorite fighters. We knew of each other through mutual friends/enemies for a while, but I didn't meet him until a few months ago. Every time I see him now, he talks to me and yesterday he gave me the handshake/hug like we had been friends for a long time. He's a really good guy, and isn't full of himself one bit like a lot of fighters.Originally Posted by ban basketball
James Terry, who I guess is fighting out of Cung Le's gym, also wrestled at Pima.

Re: Top MMAers that wrestled I guess we can't forget Jesse Taylor, who wrestled at Cal-St Fullerton. Chad Mendes is fighting now too and just won his first fight. Matt Kocher, who wrestled at Pitt and I think was an AA, just won his first fight as well. Kellan Fluckiger, AA Heavyweight for ASU, also is fighting and won on a Bodog show a little while back.
