The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.

  • World Series of Fighting Signs Heavyweight Sensation Jared Rosholt to Exclusive, Multi-Fight Agreement
    WORLD SERIES OF FIGHTING SIGNS HEAVYWEIGHT SENSATION JARED ROSHOLT TO EXCLUSIVE, MULTI-FIGHT AGREEMENT LAS VEGAS (August 24, 2016) – World Series of Fighting (www.WSOF.com) announced today that it has signed seasoned, heavyweight Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) star and former NCAA Division I wrestling sensation Jared “The Big Show” Rosholt (14-3) to an exclusive, multi-fight promotional agreement. The world championship MMA league also announced that it has inked streaking heavyweight standout Ashley “Gio” Gooch (10-4) to an exclusive, multi-fight deal. Each athlete’s promotional debut will be announced soon. “We are excited to welcome one of the sport’s top, free-agent heavyweight stars in Jared Rosholt, as well as veteran Ashley Gooch, who has been on fire of late, to the World Series of Fighting roster and look forward to seeing how each is able to contend in the decagon cage where we have a growing number of exciting and fast-rising stars vying for our coveted championship that is held by Blagoy Ivanov,” said World Series of Fighting President Ray Sefo. A 2010 NCAA Division I national wrestling championship runner- up and three-time All-American for Oklahoma State University, the 30-year-old, 6-foot-2, 245-pound Rosholt of Arlington, Texas arrives at World Series of Fighting following an eight- fight stint with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) where he posted a strong, overall record of 6-2.

  • NCAA History Supplement
    The History of Collegiate Wrestling Special Supplement for The 2006 through 2011 Seasons Jairus K. Hammond National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum History of Collegiate Wrestling 2006 Preseason Outlook Oklahoma State entered the 2006 season in the unprecedented position of having four defending NCAA champions in its lineup and thus was a clear favorite to capture its fourth straight team title. The Cowboys’ formidable lineup included returning champions Zach Esposito, Johny Hendricks, Jake Rosholt, and Steve Mocco, plus All-Americans Coleman Scott and Daniel Frishkorn. The Pokes’ biggest challenge might come from in-state rival Oklahoma, led by two-time NCAA champion Teyon Ware. Sooner mentor Jack Spates felt he had perhaps his best team in his 17 years at the helm: “We’re not aiming for second place. We think we can compete with anyone.” Michigan, runner-up to OSU in 2005, defending Big Ten champion Illinois, and a young, but very talented Minnesota squad were expected to challenge the Oklahoma schools for the team crown. Each of these Big Ten schools had a pair of brothers that were All-American candidates – the Churellas at Michigan, the Tirapelles at Illinois and the Schlatters at Minnesota. Lehigh was seeking its fifth straight EIWA crown and would face a stiff challenge from Cornell, which was coming off its first top five finish in the NCAA tournament in half a century. Lehigh could count on 2004 NCAA champion Troy Letters and three other All-Americans. Cornell had three-time All-American Dustin Manotti and super freshman Troy Nickerson.

    DIVISION I WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2018 Championships 2 History 14 Team Finishes 28 All-Time Team Results 34 2018 CHAMPIONSHIPS Penn State edges Ohio State for seventh team title in eight years: It might have been the most exciting 15 seconds in NCAA Wrestling Championship his- tory. Ohio State’s Myles Martin, a champion in 2016 with a win over Penn State’s Bo Nickal, a freshman at the time, fired a powerful double-leg shot late in the first period of the 184-pound national championship match. Nickal (31-0), a national champion in 2017, flipped Martin to his back with a high-flyer and, with 31 seconds left, scored a monumental pin. The pin put the Nittany Lions up by 12½ points and wrapped up a seventh NCAA team title in eight years. Penn State totaled 141½ points to Ohio State’s 134½ points. Three of Nickal’s teammates – Zain Retherford, Jason Nolf, and Vincenzo Joseph — also won individual honors and three others finished among the top eight. Retherford finished his career with 94-straight wins and a third national title, beating Lock Haven’s Ronnie Perry, 6-2, in the 149-pound final. The first of five Penn State finalists, Retherford’s win cut the Buckeye deficit to two points. A match later, junior Nolf (26-1) cruised by North Carolina State’s Hayden Hidlay and the Nittany Lions regained the lead over their Big Ten brethren 132½ to 130½. Iowa finished a distant third with 97 points. Michigan (80) and North Carolina State (80) rounded out the top five.
