Jordan Burroughs is perhaps the greatest American wrestler alive and, with another gold medal in 2016, will be in contention for greatest American wrestler of all time. MMA fans have been salivating for him to come on over to fight and he’s dabbled with talk. Earlier this year he proclaimed he just wanted to coach … and now he officially closes the door on fighting, period, with a Tweet after the Chandler/Alvarez fight.
MMA is brutal. Great sport, but not for me. I will never step foot in the Octagon.
