Clear 50-45 for GSP.

@Russello and SoccerKick Yes sirs, I am 18. The Tapology OGs have literally watched me grow up, isn't that pretty cool? The difference between me for the first 8 months that I was on this site and me now is huge.

Have there ever been any other good novelty accounts? I remember when I left they were getting worse and worse, I think I stopped using mine at the right time.

@Anik Happens to anyone. The difference between you now and a year at university/college will be bigger than you can imagine.

I think the ref would've stopped it if Rosholt wasn't immediately rolling away in a purposeful looking way.  Rosholt to his credit had his wits about him pretty fast.

Rosholt's inability to get in for takedowns is disappointing, but otherwise this is a pretty awesome heavyweight slugfest.

@Russello Well in the Quebec system of education, we have one less year of high school that is replaced by 2 years of CEGEP which bridges the gap between high school and university.

I'm finishing up my first semester of my second year of CEGEP which in any other place in the world would translate to my first year of university/college.

I can never understood why an All American wrestler doesn't use his wrestling. That's like a Kardashian not using her deepthroating.

Does Rosholt think he's fighting for Glory?


Why no takedowns?!

So it's all going to come down to how 3 random Nevada judges score the second round.
