Watching UFC tonight and heard he wrestled at Iowa State. He instantly became one of my favorite UFC fighters. He’s won 3 straight UFC fights and has been looking great.

DFW - fyi Jon "Bones" Jones was in the room at ISU for a (I think when Cael was coaching). He's another successful UFC guy with ISU ties. I wonder if there are any others out there?

Justin Eilers was a bad ass linebacker that played for coach Mac. He had a career in the ufc. He was featured in a knockout highlight show. Unfortunately, on the receiving end of a kick from Brandon ‘the Truth‘ Vera. He was killed by a gunshot wound from his step father in a domestic dispute.

He verballed to ISU, but two months later signed a LOI with Northern Iowa. Never made it to either campus.

This. He would have been a beast wrestling D1, but wasn’t for him.

Dont forget another UFC Champion, Cain Velazquez, also an ICCC wrestler.

When is Pat(what’s his name) who wrestled for ICCC and ISU and Nebraska and tried Iowa, going to go UFC? That has to be in his cards.
