NCAA CHAMPION ERIC LARKIN MOVES TO MMA
Friday, April 9th, 2010
A few years ago the best of the best from the world of collegiate wrestling had basically one option to keep their career going. It was the Olympics or bust.
Now that path leads more and more towards mixed martial arts
The 2003 NCAA national champion at 149 pounds, Eric Larkin, made his professional debut last weekend in South Dakota, winning by rear naked choke in the first round.
The most decorated wrestler to ever come out of Arizona State, the four time All-American had a great team around him in college and after school they helped him get ready for his MMA debut. Funny thing about Eric Larkin though... he never intended on becoming a fighter ...
