Jimmy Cinnabon Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 To answer my own question Jeff Monson was only 4-3 in the UFC.

Gus Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Yes Brooks is far to short and will not be able to perform up 8 pounds from where he just finished winning a U23 world title. If only there was a recent example of a short wrestler, from his same team, moving up from 184 to 197 and finding success... Might as well give up on folk and focus on freestyle.

Dogbone Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Yep, short guys are not good at wrestling... Everyone knows that height is a big advantage and the tallest guy at each weight usually wins. Hopefully Brooks can still AA despite this large disadvantage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearTheTurtle Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Aren’t wrestlers basically short in general? The year AJ won the title, like a few weeks later they had him out at some OSU baseball game doing his flexing thing and celebrating with the team and he looked shorter than every single baseball player on the team. I think they put one thing in the program but in reality they are much shorter .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think more short but decent wrestlers would consider converting to a sport like basketball where lower height guys are typically underrepresented. I know that there's a stigma being a pumpkin pusher (especially this time of year), but there are just so many scholarships available there, and can you imagine what an athlete like Brooks could do for PSU's below-the-rim game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunaticfringe Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Ferrari and Steveson are 6’0”, Brooks is probably 5’8 1/2. Starocci is a legit 5’10”. O’Toole isn’t a legit 6’, he’s more 5’10 1/2 to 5’11”. Parris isn’t 6’8”, he was listed at 6’2 on his Football recruiting page, no way he’s over 6’4”.

Didn't the Focus win an NCAA title at 197 from his knees? I rest my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only were his knees glued to the mat, but he was also stuck halfway out of bounds. It was an all-time underdog story! i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
