Ohio bantamweight Mo Miller continued the streak of Notre Dame College wrestlers in MMA this past weekend. At LFA 90, he took on the highly touted Mando Gutierrez - an undefeated submission specialist and former walk-on wrestler at the University of Iowa.
Perhaps dazzled by Gutierrez’s four first-round submission wins, bettors saw the Michigan native as the favorite in this matchup.
Miller’s development as an athlete has been incredible. He was recruited to Division 2 powerhouse Notre Dame College without ever having attended the state tournament in high school. He wasn’t projected to start. After one redshirt season, Miller not only made the lineup, he placed 4th at the club national tournament.
