I know this topic has come up before, but there is some serious talent stepping into the cage of late: Jeremy Anderson- Div III champ at Augsburg Brock Lesnar Marcus Levesseur Jacob Volkmann I feel this is great for ex wrestlers. Are there any other former MN wrestlers with high credentials trying MMA lately? I limited my list to people relatively new to MMA. |

uhhh... i think Dan Copp used to wrestle out in LC? State entrant there? I don't know Perzinski's credentials in ZM, but he used to wrestle, i believe... Can anyone tell me if Huerta ever wrestled at Augsburg? |

I know there are hundreds of wrestlers giving it a shot- but I am talking guys with some great credentials who should get some looks by the bigger organizations because of their wrestling success. Up north we have plenty of ex wrestlers giving it a shot, great to see. |

...Dave Menne is another Minnesota native wrestler that has had a lot of success in MMA. When you look at the guys he has fought, you gotta rank him up there as one of the all time greatest success stories. He used to go into those Extreme Challenge tournament format MMA competitions. Multiple fights in one night. That's a true warrior! Here is a listing of the more notable guys he has fought Laverne Clarke(mulitple times), Mat Hughes, Shonie Carter, Dennis Hallman, Chris Lytle, Kiyoshi-Tamura, Jose-Landi-Jons, Carlos Newton, Gil Castillo, Marilo Bustamante, Phil Baroni, Dennis Reed, Hayato Sakurai, Jake Shields, Ed Herman, Alex Reid, Josh Koschek, Luigi-Fioravanti.... What an incredible list!! |

wow that's amazing Sean Sherk was also a Minnesota wrestler - st. francis high school - both him and his brother kerry were solid wrestlers! Sean has a very solid fight resume as well as a UFC title to his credit. He has to be at or near the top of the list of former MN wrestlers in the UFC there are many wrestlers in the up and coming ranks! |

good catch...Sean Sherk should be at the top fo the list..
B) I saw Sean's first professional fight in Mahnomen back in 1999...the entire card was stacked with future stars..Jermaine Andre, Dennis Reed, Dave Menne, Dan Severn..that's why it is good to take in these smaller shows...cause you could be witnessing the birth of the "next best thing". |

i've seen volkman fight a couple times--he is a beast and i think ready to move on to better competition. |

when i was at ICC we had our own MMA club...didnt fight at any of these bigger fights..UFC and what have you...but we have guys who fought in superior and other localish amateur venues. Andy prezekwas, Ryan Campbell, Josh Hall, Steve Merth (who fought volkman not too long ago...and lost obviously, but he stepped in there) I know Jeremy Anderson from Augsburg has been fighting. |
