    Team Takedown signs Bradley

    ARLINGTON, TEXAS -- An Arlington, Texas-based elite Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter management group today announced the signing of former Penn State All-American Eric Bradley to a long-term professional services contract. Bradley joins former NCAA national wrestling champions Jake Rosholt and Johny Hendricks on the Team Takedown roster.

    Competing at 184, Bradley was an NCAA wrestling All-American for the Nittany Lions in 2005 and 2006. He was also the National Collegiate Boxing light heavyweight champion in 2003.

    At Penn State, Bradley compiled an outstanding wrestling record of 81-16, including 40-5 in dual meets and a stunning 20-2 record in the extraordinarily rugged Big Ten, where he was also a two-time conference tournament champion.

    Eric was ranked No. 1 in the nation during much of his senior season. Before enrolling at Penn State, Eric was a three-time New Hampshire state high school champion and a national high school All-American.

    Born in Stoneham, Massachusetts, Bradley is now 25 years old, stands 5" 10" and weighs in at 185. He will compete in the MMA at 170. He currently lists his hobbies as fighting, sports and movies, and his favorite books are The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer, proving that he has brains to go with his brawn.

    Bradley currently lives in Hollywood, but will soon relocate to Las Vegas. He will train with his Team Takedown teammates Rosholt and Hendricks at Randy Couture's facility, Xtreme Couture MMA. Previously Bradley has been working out in Los Angeles but has not yet participated in a sanctioned MMA fight.
    ABOUT TEAM TAKEDOWN

    True to their motto, "Turning great wrestlers into ultimate fighters," Team Takedown differentiates itself from other management groups by finding the very best NCAA All-American wrestlers, signing them to multi-year performance contracts, and providing them with everything they need to be successful. This includes salaries and extensive world-class MMA training. Team Takedown then goes much farther: the company has assembled an elite group of marketing, publicity and design professionals so that each athlete will have their own media coverage, major appearances and events, clothing line and fan club. No other MMA management company offers its fighters this type of total support package.

    According to Scott Casber, host of the nationally-syndicated radio show "Takedown Wrestling Radio" and a leading MMA promoter and authority, "What Team Takedown is doing makes great sense. I believe they will be very successful."
