Sadollah: The Latest Champ

Well, Amir Sadollah is the latest Ultimate Fighter. Again, happy I didn’t make a prediction as I would’ve chosen C.B. Dollaway to take TUF 7 final.
After the two exchanged kicks, Dollaway was able to get a double leg takedown which turned into Amir’s guard. Dollaway passed the guard into a crucifix.
As Dollaway is pounding Sadollah, Amir gets an armbar. Game, set, match in less than two minutes of the first round. Dollaway did a single tap that he tried to play off. But it was an obvious tap as he had nowhere to go.
Congrats to Sadollah who will be under a microscope from here on out. He’s a newbie to the MMA game
I remember watching Dollaway two years ago when Arizona State wrestled Oklahoma. Former OU wrestler Justin Dyer scored a technical fall in that bout for a big win for the Sooners.
Also that night was Danny Hodge night at McCasland Fieldhouse. And if you know anything about Hodge, you know full well what he did.
They placed a trash can at center mat and gave Hodge an apple. And as he’s done for the last 60 years, he crushed that sucker with one hand.
It never gets old, and OU coach Jack Spates can never say enough good things about the legend of Hodge.
Also interesting nugget from that match is just how many college wrestlers are going straight from the NCAA to some form of MMA.
It’s most prevalent at Oklahoma State, and it’s a huge reason for the boom of MMA in Oklahoma.
Good news for me and for us other fight nuts.
