I just did an interview with Rosholt and have one coming up with Roller. They seem like great guy’s and with the opportunity (through Team Takedown) they have to just focus on training there’s no doubt they’ll get to the top.

I’ve known Shane Roller and his family all my life. Shane is the most dedicated athelete I’ve ever had the privelege of knowing and training with. I have no doubt he will head straight for the title. Don’t think so? Just wait and see.

LT, the headline does not say NCAA Tournament Champions. It says NCAA Champions. Roller is a former Big 12 Conference champion.

I see mmamania.com is now reporting that Danilo Villefort is going to be Rosholt’s first opponent on the WEC show in Florida.

Wow, excellent signings by the WEC. I am very surprised they got Rosholt, a lot of organizations were supposedly interested in him, and with the WEC Middleweight division being rumored to be moved over to the UFC it didn’t seem like the ideal place for him.

I guess that kinda debunks the Dana White comment that they were going to get rid of the LHW and MW divisions in the WEC.

Well at least the MW division anyways.
