In 2000, Rulon Gardner competed at the highest level of his sport and won a Gold Medal for his country.
Eleven years later he finds himself in the competitive spotlight once again, and though he’s on the same network the circumstances couldn’t be different. In 2000, he was the Super-Heavyweight Gold Medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling and […]

WEC – or World Extreme […]

Today he posted a link […]
To help recover from the mental anguish I put myself and spectators through with the Santa Speedo Sprint, I have a full house for tonight’s UFC 124 live from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Main event is Josh Koscheck and Georges St-Pierre. Both have improved as fighters since their last meeting in 2007, but Koscheck has dramatically […]
