285lb Jared Rosholt

Who knows if he'll start MMA like his brother, Jake, but the dude is a damn good wrestler and one would imagine he'd get into MMA in a few years.

WRESTLER OF THE WEEK
Jared Rosholt, Oklahoma State, 285, Sr., Sandpoint, ID/Ponca City
Top-ranked Rosholt added another impressive win to his resumé this year by claiming a 3-2 win over reigning NCAA champion Mark Ellis as part of the Cowboys’ 24-9 win at Missouri. The win improved Rosholt’s career mark over Ellis to 6-2 and marked Rosholt’s 24th consecutive win this season. Earlier in the week, Rosholt was a 10-2 major decision winner over Northern Iowa’s Christian Brantley. After a scoreless first period, Rosholt scored a takedown and escape in the second period before adding three more takedowns in the third period to add bonus points for his team.

The younger sibling of ex-UFC middleweight Jake Rosholt makes his professional debut next Saturday, Feb. 26, against fellow headliner Dee Burchfield at "Cage Fight Champions presents: Art of War Cage Fights."

The event takes place at Hutchins Memorial Auditorium in Ponca City, Okla., a short drive from the brothers' alma mater, Oklahoma State University.

A runner-up in the 2010 NCAA Championships, Jared Rosholt was signed this past July by Team Takedown boss Ted Ehrhardt, who helped his older brother make the transition from standout amateur wrestler to professional fighter.
"He's a pretty good-sized heavyweight," Ehrhardt told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "He's around 265 (pounds) when he's walking. He'll end up probably around 280, 285 pounds, and he's real fast. He runs like a 4.7 (40-yeard-dash). I don't know, but I've heard he's bench-pressing around 700 pounds. He's big, he's strong, and he's fast."

Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jared Rosholt (4-0) has signed a multi-fight deal with Legacy Fighting Championships, promoter Mick Maynard today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

He'll now meet Derrick Lewis (7-2) for the organization's vacant heavyweight title on Aug. 17.

The event, Legacy Fighting Championship 13, takes place in Dallas and airs on HDNet.

Jared Rosholt – the younger brother of UFC and Bellator vet Jake Rosholt – was a 2010 NCAA Division I national runner-up wrestler who picked up more wins than any other heavyweight in Oklahoma State University. The three-time All-American wrestler and current Team Takedown fighter made his pro MMA debut a year later and has posted a 4-0 record on the regional circuit. Two of the wins have come via submissions, and two have come via strikes.

Lewis, meanwhile, represents Rosholt's most experienced and accomplished opponent to date. "The Black Beast," who once competed for Bellator, has won his past three fights (with one no-contest). All of the Texan's recent wins have come via knockout. In fact, in seven career victories, six have come via knockout and one via submission.

Additional fights will soon be announced for the Legacy Fighting Championship 13 card.
