I hope Gillman wrestles for a long time, but he could make an absolute fortune in MMA. He’s the exact kind of guy the UFC 125-pound weight class could use with his personality, ability to talk, intensity, charisma, etc. He would be the perfect “heel” to some of the boring goody-two-shoes in the lighter weights that absolutely refuse to do anything at all to draw attention to a fight. He would make big big money.

I saw this video promoted and watched it. It is interesting how paranoid he is. That got me remembering what happened to me. I grew up in gymnastics from age 4 in Ukraine then kept going in USA when I got adopted and moved. I was way much more muscular than other boys in my school because of gymnastics at age 4. When I was age 16 I was riding my bike on country roads near our house when some older high school boys found me and took me into the cornfields. They held me in a full nelson and took off my gym shorts and spent a lot of time working over all 4 rows of my abs and obliques and pecs. They ran over the front time of my bike and I had to walk over 3 miles back home carrying my bike with my abs severely worked over. I became fearful after that and trained my abs to be rock hard and took a lot of abuse from guys I knew to protect me from taking abuse from guys who wanted to injure me. I was paranoid for the last 2 years of high school. I'm age 19 and have worked through that paranoia. Gilman's world of wrestling might be dangerous. I never thought those guys were trying to keep from competing in gymnastics. They just didn't like it that I did gymnastics. And they were jealous.
