The Takedown/Team Quest announcement is similar to another one made on April 11 when USA Wrestling, the Governing Body of collegiate and amateur wrestling, and the IFL formed their own strategic agreement. The evident goal of both partnerships is much the same as all organizations work to grow the awareness of amateur wrestling and MMA programs. "We've reported on MMA since its infancy. It's long been a strategic goal for many wrestlers to compete in MMA after their collegiate and Olympic careers conclude." commented TakeDown Radio founder Scott Casber. "It's fantastic to see wrestlers applying their skills to MMA, getting paid for it, and continue to give back to wrestling community. That is exactly what Team Quest has done through our agreement", Casber continued.
Wrestling is far and away one of the most important components of MMA. More than 30% of the coaches and athletes in the IFL have a wrestling background. That number is expected to grow as more opportunities are developed via the type of agreements formed between TakeDown Radio and Team Quest as well as the agreement between USA Wrestling and the IFL
