NCAA to MMA - espn.com article

Looks like from ESPN that Bo has an MMA lean that I wasn't aware of, also talks about Cassars aspirations. Also, the end of the article seems to think Sandy is quite confident of Bo in the Octagon, and who can blame her.

Absolutely selfish of me, but it pains me to think of such refined and great wrestlers who are beautiful at the sport to sign up for getting kicked and punched in the face, choking out, etc... Totally understand the money aspect of it though, and why not if you're attracted to fighting?

Bo has posted pics of himself training at boxing on Instagram, or twitter, one of those.

Its certainly better than it used to be but there is very little money in wrestling. The money there is , is certainly no easy. Hate it , but can blame the guys who go that route.

I know he still has another year left but I wonder what VJ's plan is. Hall obviously will be pursuing freestyle long term but I think Cenzo mentioned in his Barstool interview (which was 99% a joke but this likely is real) that he'll give Freestyle a go then likely go into coaching.

I bet the WWE will give Joseph a call though after Nationals next year. He has the personality and looks for TV but I think he would like to stay in real wrestling.

Full disclosure I just shared the article I would much rather Bo at the NLWC plying his trade and being an asset in the room vs him trying to bulk up and fight a maniac like Jon Jones
