This is pretty cool. You don't often see accomplished high level jiu-jitsu black belts competing in wrestling once they get to a certain point. I believe he went 3 and 1 for the tournament and competing in wrestling should help his MMA game.

Dope ;D Does anyone know if Ryan wrestled in school?

Aiemann did a karate tournament a couple months back and the same thing happened. I wish I went with them, I could have got some cool pics of the wrestling tournament. I just posted my latest piece on Ryan actually here: http://fightland.vice.com/blog/visio...deadpan-killerQuote:

Makes since with the truck being part of his JJ game why not apply what your already good at.
Coming in as fighters and performing like wrestlers, you say? And they won the crowd over? I can think of someone who could learn from that. ;)Quote:
