I want to say he's like 35 I don't know that but it seemed really late because when he was going through Olympics he was
sound in every position.
And like you said, I mean, in a couple interviews back, if he would have started that early, just imagine.
Oh, my God.
Just imagine.
Yeah, I think it's a next level thing.
And you see in UFC right now, the guys that are dominating and winning,
are kind of putting that wrestling base first, but making it MMA wrestling.
I feel like when a lot of guys, a lot of D1 wrestlers come to MMA, they kind of don't make the switch of how to take the right shot, and how to finish the right shot, and how to use your feet to trip their feet out on the cage, and if you get stuck in a guillotine, how do you move from that spot?
And I think you see the guys that are doing it best, the Islam, the Hamzats, are really going out there and attacking and making sure that people can understand that, hey, you got to fear this.
And then next, I'm going to come with the hands.
And so I think that's the biggest thing that we're working on now is that I've wrestled my whole life and I've done great things and won the Olympics and multiple national championships.
But I think the main thing is going out there and understanding that.
You are that bad dude, but when you show them hands, now you have to respect both.
And I think that's where a lot of this is going to come into play when I finally get to that point of reaching that competition.
Now, how long have you been striking for?
I've been going into a little.
So I'm from Minnesota, Apple Valley.
I'm actually from Portage, Indiana.
I moved to Apple Valley, Minnesota when I was 11 years old.
