Wow, that was quick......
A few weeks back, Arizona State University announced that there were plans to discontinue its men's wrestling program along with men's tennis and men's swimming. However, wrestling boosters have raised over $8 million in donations to keep the program going which resulted in the university reinstating the program on Friday.
Arizona State's wrestling program is a hotbed for MMA talent. Current MMA stars such as C.B. Dollaway, Mark Munoz, Ryan Bader, and Aaron Simpson are all a combined 16-0 as professional MMA fighters. Veteran MMA fighters Dan Severn, Dan Henderson, and Don Frye also wrestled for Arizona State.
