Unlike AJ, he at least qualified for trials

Yes. Concerned stuff like his spladle would get out there.

Then Hayden goes and wrestles 70 Kg!

Not to mention the eligibility clock... and that she has professionally playing the same sport that she was JOKING about playing in college.

The elementary school math required to secure riding time vs. the gassed Patrick Kennedy was the most glaring of several errors.

Coaches Popolizio and Espo wrestled for Oklahoma State. The cowboys know how to shrink 'em!

I'm not sure what Delsignore's status is at Little Rock. If he starts, he may be a borderline qualifier type. Pretty sure he beat Singleton in an NC State wrestle off. Northwestern may have the all-decade team for transfers out, but they don't look like a contender this year. Wisconsin has racked up some points too.

I think there might be some Iowa and NC State missing.

I can see where I might be misunderstood there; definitely. However, I thought it was understood that we were talking college wrestling. Apologies on that one. Now lets do basketball or soccer bases... I bet we get more than wrestling.

That is all true, but everyone has to wrestle, box, kickbox, and do bjj. (at least to be able to prevent it. While Topuria wrestled as a little kid, he is arguably the best boxer in MMA history. UFC is largely dominated by striking atm Wrestling is super super important; I am just opposed to the fallacious belief that the talent pool would dry up without NCAA wrestling.

UFC should support Karate because GSP and Machida were Karate fighters and like really really good 15 years ago!

Why doesn't UFC support college wrestling?

LOL the whole thing is "College wrestling" Do't change the argument. How many of those guys wrestled for American colleges? Belal wrestled for like two years in high school. Topuria wrestled as a youngster than switched to hockey. Duplessis from the formidable SA Greco program. Can you find any Makhachev results? Pretty sure he's Sombo. Again: this is "UFC should help college wrestling." Which UFC top 15 wrestled in an American college?

Oh, I 100% agree. Gaethje has said as much. I'm just responding to the thread which seems to think it is 2013 and American wrestlers are champs in half the weight classes (as opposed to only one)

Chandler and Gaetje... not boring. They don't wrestle. They are standup fighters. And Chandler's wrestling is about zero threat these days. He was just massively outwrestled by a BJJ guy. The days of wrestlers/American wrestling dominating appear to over. Just look at the top 15 lists I posted. Is this because guys are staying in wrestling longer?
