Pic of Matt Riddle and Jon Jones from their high school wrestling days

[MakroN]

Haha Jones face is great

 

[Karelinator]

This is the root of Jones' hatred of drug users.

He definitely had to have a drink after that tournament.

 

[theycallitMurda]

I wonder if Jones snitched on Riddle back then for smoking the ganja.

So many MMA wretlers out there


2006 championships were won by Hendricks, Askren, Rosholt, and Konrad...also competing that year were Mendes, Dollaway, Bader, Weidman, Davis, and Velasquez

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Lol, Jones' disappointment face.

That's a regrettable hairdo for Riddle.

 

[Dutchtarific]

LMAO @ Jones' face

Ha ha ha ha that is spot on. Kudos.

 

[FishinWithFredo]

This makes me wish I wrestled in HS. I was still in school in 2004, and I would have been in this weight class. Maybe I could have beaten Jon Jones, and then no matter how much of a failure the rest of my life turned out to be, I could always brag to people that I whooped the champ.

"Riddle is the man cuz he smokes weed!"

 

[spid3yo]

I find it kindof weird and fascinating that so many of these guy met before getting into the UFC and never mention it. Riddle and Jones is so random.
Fun FAct- Cain Velasquez was Jon Jones wrestling team captain at iowa junior college.

And it definitely seems like the ideal path to get into MMA, wrestling in high school.

I live in England and we don't have any wrestling schools.

Yeah, you would think they would all be running in the same camp together, perhaps they just never spoke to eachother?

Then people would forever wonder what happened and went wrong with you as you worked selling women's shoes

I bet Riddle also beats Jones at rolling blunts

That's a shame. What type of sports teams did your school offer? Every single high school here has wrestling.

At least I'd have a smoking hot wife.
