WRESTLERS SUCCEEDING IN THE MMA
A number of wrestlers are now succeeding in the MMA and many theories have been suggested for it.—Randy Couture: The face of the UFC for years, Couture was a three-time All-American at Oklahoma State and later coached at Oregon State. He made his UFC debut in 1997 and is still competing in MMA. His team, Xtreme Couture, is one of the sport’s most successful.
—Brock Lesnar: Perhaps best known for his career in WWE, Lesnar wrestled at the University of Minnesota, winning the 2000 NCAA title. He made his MMA debut in 2007 and won the UFC heavyweight title in his fourth professional fight.
—Mark Coleman: One of the pioneers of MMA, Coleman was an NCAA champion at Ohio State before embarking on his professional fighting career. He fought in the UFC for the first time in 1996 and has established his own training camp made up primarily of former wrestlers.
