All the top LHWs couldn't make it in football and/or wrestling

[flakxd]

Jon Jones
Rumble Johnson
Ryan Bader
OSP
DC
Etc


I'm sure it's like this in other divisions as well. Some had a decent amateur career in football/wrestling, but they simply couldn't hack it at the highest levels in either sport. Now they are dominant and elite in mma....the very best in the world.

Can't wait until the higher level American athletes start getting into mma. I realize America's elite will never get into the sport, but it will be fun once some of the better athletes start taking notice.

DC couldn't make it in wrestling?

 

[rambosabeast]

If 40yd-dash times were all that mattered in MMA, idk, but they don't.

 

[Coolidge]

Including 'wrestling' in the title killed the thread before it even started. That's objectively false and easy to disprove.

 

[WSOFool]

Wow...what do you call 'making it' in wrestling if not DC?

 

[BigNuggetIce]

DC couldn't make it in wrestling?

Lmao /thread

 

[Fluffernutter]

Jones - Made it to Iowa State.
Rumble - JUCO national champion
Bader - DI AA
OSP - State champ wrestler in high school and DI football player. Scholarship to college/
DC - Olympian
Etc. - Latin expression that means "and other things", or "and so forth" or "yadi yada". It is taken directly from the Latin expression, which literally means "and the rest"

 

[Chain Saw]

Rumble is a D1 wrestler isnt he...

 

[CerebralKnievel]

DC was an Olympic gold medalist wrester, you dirty troll.

Jones and Bader were both multiple time all-American wrestlers...this is a dumb ass thread.

 

[yookfarb]

Jon Jones has two super bowl champions for brothers AND had fucked up 2 chances at D1 scholarships due to grades and baby mamas

It doesn't get any better than that

Multiple pan american golds and a bronze at the worlds. For wrestling that is high level.

TS must be real bored. This isn't even a decent attempt at trolling. I hope you have other talents.

Lol. Instinct says to keep digging but it's best to put down the shovel and wait for someone to pull you out.
