Wrestling great Jordan Burroughs offers to help Claressa Shields as she preps for MMA debut

Two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-division boxing champion Claressa Shields (10-0, 2 KOs) is serious about her move to MMA, as evidenced by her training with former UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones at JacksonWink in Albuquerque.

Shields tweeted on Monday that it was time for some wrestling training, which captured the attention of none other than wrestling legend Jordan Burroughs.

Oooooweeee wrestling training in 45 minutes I am sore than a mf. Lol.
