sounds good but i don't know the protocol?

Nothing to it, just like a long thread that is invite only. Leglace (of Kearny) is in it.

Once you get invited, accepte it and then hit groups and go to Old Ball Coach

I hope he can take a punch because he's definately going to get hit hard if he tries to stand. He needs to take the fight to the ground quickly.

Massenzio is a pretty good boxer. But obviously he shines with his takedowns. He has evolved a bit, but I think he needs some more experience before he can take on higher level guys at 185. He would however smackdown Bisping imo. My gut feeling is that Massenzio wins this fight by UD. He is one of the better wrestlers in the UFC. Probably right there with CB.

Has he wrestled since HS (outside of MMA training)? Otherwise, I wouldn't normally compare a HS star to an AA, because most HS stars have to improve to be an AA the next year.

He was a JUCO champion but took 2nd one year losing to CB Dollaway.

He redshirted in WV where he had a full ride. He went back home, and started wrestling at Bergen Community College where he went 2nd and 1st. He then contemplated Montclair St. and Rider, but was given an offer by Rider. You are correct, somewhere he lost interest and never stepped on the mat in D-1. But he has wrestled D-1 wrestlers with success.

Here is some Massenzio footage.

Senior National footage shows him from prelim, quarters (Willie Parks), semi's (Carlisle), to final (Ryan Halsey). Lots of tough oponents.

The MMA highlight was showing him raw, when he first started and how much natural talent he had. It was from the Reality Fighting circuit in Atlantic City. It shows lots of footage of him beating Dan Miller and Dante Rivera.

Thanks - so he did wrestle in college. I'll watch him later (can't at work)
