I love that JB referenced the confusing aspects of Olympic-style wrestling. As a former wrestler, this is one of the biggest downsides to freestyle wrestling- the subjectivity associated with points ("Should that have been two points? Or four? Or none?") and it makes it extremely hard to get new fans drawn in. There are multiple matches with freestyle wrestlers in the midst of wrestling, and they themselves are confused by the points. That should be fixed (such as the no-overtime rule, imho it hurts us) so we can get more fans in.

Thank you for getting him on!!! The wrestling community has been patiently waiting on this!

I did some boxing but have found myself watching these guys because they are great personalities and great athletes. And the matches are quick to watch which is great.

I've never wrestled in my life but I watch the NCAA championships every year on ESPN and would definitely watch a league if they got it on cable.

Thanks joe for bringinging him into the spotlight. Good for the sport!!!

Jordan is articulate and a level headed man, excellent representative of Collegiate and Olympic Wrestling!

[@thejmc4074]

I appreciate Jordan for talking about how often rules change. I haven’t wrestled in years and any time I watch something on tv or KZbin I feel like I have no idea what the rules are and what scores and what doesn’t.

They have made it so that international wrestling is incredibly fast paced and exciting to watch, much more so than in the past. I think if people gave it a shot they would like it.

[@mattbradbury3582]

Maybe Jordan could do a submission underground then ?

[@makhachedov2115]

He will need to learn jiujitsu to compete in that. Because wrestling is about winning points, its okay to lose position in wrestling but mma and SUG are different.

@@makhachedov2115 Yh fair enough

[@seanlynch1120]

He's being very modest though, even if he could barely throw hands with a guy that big he'd just need to work on technique, his wrestling would be that elite that he'd be top 5 easy

I feel you man, same here... but it wasn't too late to start MMA. It's an awesome experience finding out what kind of fighter you are even if you don't compete and just love to spar. For me, MMA boxer using take down defense to stand the fight back up and use kicks to setup my boxing.

[@gh0rochi363]

The same reason anyone who doesn’t have an interest in mma doesn’t do it. Some people aren’t built for it mentally. Some people don’t like getting hit and hitting back. I do but not everyone and that’s ok.

Love how the thumbnail is him wrestling Ben Askren.

[@lm2487]

He did wrestle Askren in 2019. Jordan crushed Ben 9-0. Search it.

[@jacobpalacio1226]

Wrestlers take the least amount of damage in fights though. Look at colby, usman, khabib, and gsp.

[@TheLawrencew090]

Ben Askren, Gregor Gillespie, Yoel Romero (has taken a lot of damage despite not being KOd), Mark Coleman, Chris Weidman etc... Not saying you’re wrong by any means mate. What you’re saying definitely has a base. But many top class wrestlers have lacked the skills/desire to stay out of a firefight or absorb damage. MMA is such a Spectrum

[@jacobpalacio1226]

@@TheLawrencew090 yea I'm just saying wrestlers can dedicate where the fight goes. If i had Jordan's wrestling credentials I'd do mma.

[@Nomad-Drifter]

His lady be like “I ain’t loosin the green” sit! Stay! Lol. Fair enough though.

[@mrmeatyboy]

Nahh, with his fame and wrestling pedigree (considered one of the GOATs, better than Askren, Cormier, etc) he would make a fuckton of money in the UFC. And he's such a great athlete, I see him making a similar style that Khabib has; where his wrestling is so fucking good, that nobody could stop the takedown. If he spent 75% of his time training BJJ, 30% striking, and then the other 5% pure wrestling just to stay sharp... the dude would be world class in a few years. But, he is 32 years old now. So if he'd been doing MMA for 8 years (like he said if he got into it when he graduated college in 2012), he would be in the prime of his career right now. And in my opinion he would no doubt be a world champ. But early 30s is the end of your physical prime. So his career wouldn't have much longevity. Honestly tho, he should get into MMA, win 4 or 5 pro fights in some random org (he would beat the shit out of those lowest level pros, even with barely any training), then get into the UFC. Then have a few HUGE fights. He wrestles in 74Kg, which is 164lbs so he would compete at 155. There would be some amazing matchups with other high level wrestlers, and his name is so big you could have him headlining payper views. The UFC would give him a fucking big contract because of how famous he is. So he'd make probably 6 figures per fight, then have a few PPV where he gets points, make a cool few million dollars in 4 to 5 years, then retire. He wouldn't get too much brain damage and make insane money. BUT, as a fighter myself, I'll never be mad at someone who wants to avoid getting hit in the head. It just breaks my heart as a wrestling and MMA fan we'll never see him in the octagon lol.

[@Nomad-Drifter]

@@mrmeatyboy true, the way I think his woman sees it is that if he gets head kicked in his first fight and develops health issues and can't even wrestle anymore then the green will be lost.
