you know absolutely nothing about Ben if you are going to make comments like that. Better yet you probably know little about MMA as well. Ben's unorthodox style can easily translate to his stand up in MMA let alone his submission game. He is a seasoned grappler with incredible work ethic and stamina the likes of which you know very little about. So show some respect to the 2 time NCAA champion and member of the United States Olympic team
@RicardoAlvarado415 okay first of all this shows his wrestling doesnt translate well to mma.. in wrestling your power foot forward; in a stand up game your left goes forward for orthodox. and most all wrestlers adapt to the and learn to shoot orthodox which is unorthodox wrestling. his power will be decreased because he's right handed. he will show obvious tells.. he will need to fight orthodox or top tier fighters will read him like a book.
i agree with ricardo. he has such a strange style that would be good in mma. he also is extremely persistent and never gives up. i think he is going to do very well

How sad was the match against Cuba... was like he couldn't even wrestled. That's a lesson from the Bible, never cut your hair!

Too bad Ben grew up in Wisconsin and wrestled at Hartland-Arrowhead, but you are right that he wrestles for MO in College.
