Dana, sign this man.


Agreed!  Would like to see him in MMA after the 2016 Olympic games.  If all goes according to plan, he will have 4 world championships and 2 olympic gold medals at that point.  Nice payday for his gold medal as well, a cool $250k.  

His match against the Cuban was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. Phone Post

As far as you know. Phone Post

If he goes for 2016 and is interested in MMA he can always incorporate some striking techs and no gi stuff to mix things up.Can use pad work as a form of conditioning and just play around with some ground stuff...

Missed his matches. He fast and explosive?

Congrats to him. Phone Post

finally watched it, fucking awesome!!!

how much is our country gonna tax him now?

will he fight MMA 155 or 170

UGCTT_BlahBreh - how much is our country gonna tax him now?


 35% of $675 for the medal itself,and an additional 35% on the $25,000 cash bonus they receive.So somewhere around $8,986.

This upsets me. I believe our athletes should be tax exempt for bringing such a prestigious honor home to our country. Phone Post

 Congrats!!!
