Interview: UFC 193's Jared Rosholt almost became a WWE wrestler after prolific OSU wrestling career

Lost in all the hoopla that's the UFC 193 pay-per-view (PPV) blockbuster is a little-known Heavyweight collision featuring veteran Stefan Struve (26-7) taking on rising All-American wrestler Jared Rosholt (13-2).

"The Big Show" is on the cusp of attaining a position in the Top 15 of the Heavyweight rankings if he can thwart "The Skyscraper" inside Etihad Stadium this Saturday night (Nov. 14, 2015) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Rosholt, 29, is coming off of back-to-back wins over Josh Copeland and Timothy Johnson.

The Team Takedown representative took some time out of his training schedule to discuss facing a fighter as tall as Struve, adding to his tool belt, how he almost became a WWE wrestler, Johny Hendricks and more with MMAmania.
