Ben Askren just did an interview saying that he's been training for Midlands since his last MMA fight. He mentioned he's down in weight and only training wrestling. Ben mentioned no names stated his desire to face the number 1 guy in the country (NCAA) who also just placed 2nd at the trials to eventual world champ. This has got to be Zahid.
So the obvious question is, who takes it? And also I want to point out that I think its smart to sharpen his wrestling, especially collegiate style, with his UFC debut looming. Also, I know Midlands is an open tournament and has enjoyed participation from many wrestlers not in college, itd be great to see other MMAers dip into folkstyle wrestling competition.
