Dark Energy Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Bo has turned heads. Can’t wait to see what he will do in the UFC. For a bit it seemed like there was a big pipeline into MMA from college wrestling. Perhaps I’m out of touch - but seems like the pipeline is low flow / erratic now. Who are the names we expect to jump to MMA from college wrestling in the next 3 or so years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs67 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 There is simply more money in wrestling than there used to be. More opportunities to succeed fiscally and still.be able to not get your brains bashed in. 1 Quote "The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals.

1032004 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I’m sure I’m missing some but recently in addition to Bo there is Bryce Meredith, Mitch McKee, and Cassar who as far as I can tell all appear to have some promise. As far as guys “expected” to go to MMA, I think RBY and Austin O’Connor are a couple more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ban Basketball Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I used to box, and it's like I've said since rasslers first started going into MMA, it's easy to say, "I'm going MMA," but once they start taking some big shots they either quickly learn that (1) this hurts and I don't want it or (2) they can't take a punch and have glass jaws. With that said, I've always said that until these guys have been punched by pro boxers, they haven't been punched. Those boys know how to throw leather. With what few punches he threw, Downey may have been the poorest puncher I've ever seen. Scratch that...Askren is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
