READ WHAT INDUSTRY EXPERTS ARE
SAYING ABOUT TEAM TAKEDOWN...
Scott Casber, MMA promoter and authority, host of “Takedown Wrestling Radio,”
"What Team Takedown is doing makes great sense. They’re the first management group I know of who understands the value of bringing the very best college wrestlers into the MMA environment and supplying them the tools they'll need to become champions. I believe
they will be very successful."
Dave Meltzer, Editor-in-Chief and MMA Expert Wrestling Observer Newsletter
“Many of the biggest stars in the MMA world came from
a high-level wrestling background. The key is a dominant wrestler has a hard time being physically handled, and can dictate where and how the fight is fought. The dedication and work ethic that it makes to be an NCAA champion is identical to what it takes to be an MMA champion. A top-level wrestler starts out with a huge
edge as well as a high level of athletic ability. While
other skills need to be learned, it's probably the best
base possible to start out with physically, as well as mentally.”
Meltzer on Jake Rosholt:
“Rosholt is a class above both Brock Lesnar and Josh Koscheck, who would be considered the best credentialed wrestlers on the current U.S. MMA scene.”
Jason Bryant Editor-in-Chief
InterMatWrestle.com (on Hendricks)
“College wrestling fans are well aware of Johny
Hendricks and his on-the-mat persona, he’s either
revered or reviled, but the guy is a warrior. He’s got that cocky confidence that’s going to translate well into the MMA realm and I don’t doubt that his desire to win and
his ability and predator-like sense of attack will give
him a solid base. His talents are unquestionable. Being
a four-time All-American speaks for itself. He’s also a
very respectful guy off the mat. I think he and Jake will
do well once they get fully immersed in MMA.”
Randy Couture, UFC World Heavyweight Champion
Owner and Trainer Xtreme Couture MMA
Speaking of the Team Takedown strategy of signing the best college wrestlers to MMA performance contracts:
"I believe that it is the trend of the future for high-skilled wrestlers. Definitely an idea that will work!"
Randy comments on Jake Rosholt
who is training at Xtreme Couture MMA:
"Jake is doing well, learning fast, as most wrestlers do,
but not fast enough for him. He is very anxious
to make a mark now!!
