The NCAA Wrestling Championship tourneys have concluded and champions were crowned on March 23rd. Many of these elite athletes will try to continue a path of amateur wrestling, but some will come to mixed martial arts. Strength, conditioning, mental toughness, the ability to cut weight, and quickness are all traits of most high level wrestlers. The biggest skill that transfers to mma is the ability to take someone down and defend the take down.
