The sight of Jordan Burroughs making a ragdoll of undefeated UFC fighter Ben Askren had a lot of folks wondering: What would it look like if Burroughs made the transition from wrestling to MMA himself?
A two-time Olympian, Burroughs captured a gold medal at the 2012 games in London and was also a two-time national champion and a three-time NCAA All-American during his illustrious career at the University of Nebraska. When Burroughs recently recently crossed paths with Askren—who also owns two NCAA titles—at a sold-out Beat the Streets charity event, he lived up to his reputation as being one of the greatest wrestlers ever produced by the United States.
