Not true. I beleive that he never had any high school FB experience. He tried to play for the Vikings but never made it out of training camp and turned down an opertunity to play in Europe. So he was a wanabe football player.

I think that a football player would have a better shot at succeeding in MMA than a pro wrestler that doesn't have a wrestling background. Football players actually hit and get hit. Pro wrestling is athletic acting.

They are wrestlers, not pro wrestlers.

Wrestlers have a great foundation for MMA, but the ones who struggle are the ones who can't strike. Every fight starts on the feet.
