4-Time NCAA All-American, 3-time NCAA champion, #1 ranked 189 pound wrestler, & member of the US Olympic wrestling team Ed Ruth has said he's 100% MMA bound. He's 24 years old.

This video is when he helped Jones train for DC:

After reading Jordan's blog post, I understand and respect his decision to choose wrestling over MMA.


Breh that nikka is EATING off of Asics, his wrestling shoes sell out damn near every season. He isn't going to fight for chump change when his passion is wrestling and he is living comfortably off of it, while he is the best in the world at it. I don't blame him. :manny:

Not going to lie though I would love to see him fight. His explosiveness is on some :wow: shyt, dude be box jumping cars and shyt :dead:

I can't think of a wrestler with better timing and doubles :mjcry: David Taylor prob comes close timing wise.

Maybe he changes his mind after the 2016 Olympics. :mjcry:

Eu Sou O Segundo
Anderson Silva tells TMZ Sports ... he did NOT use performance enhancing drugs to give him an edge in the octagon ... saying he's genuinely SHOCKED he failed his drug tests.
The UFC legend was out in L.A. when we asked straight up -- how do you explain the failed drug tests surrounding the January 31st fight at UFC 183 with Nick Diaz???
His answer -- "I don't know what happened."
Silva says he was completely blindsided by the results -- but does NOT believe anything in his system affected his performance in the fight.
Anderson sorta acknowledges taking something to help his body heal after badly breaking his leg -- but says he's convinced he didn't violate any rules.
Still, Silva understands how bad the failed tests make him look -- "I think this is bad for [the] sport. This is so bad for me and my life."
Anderson says he wants a REMATCH with Nick Diaz to prove his victory is leg
it -- and even has a message for 50 Cent -- save that $1.6 MILLION he was planning to bet on Mayweather ... and put it on him!



Hang it up and go be with your kids Anderson, don't go out like this :mjcry:

Doesn't change my opinion of him. If he was using the whole time than it's safe to say 90% or more were using too. If we're gonna throw asterisks around there's plenty of fighters who deserve them as well.
