This release came from Zinkin Entertainment & Sports Management, who now represents former Olympian wrestler Daniel Cormier.
A few quick updates: I'll be interviewing Seth Petruzelli on his next fight, August 22 against Chris Baten at Art of Fighting 4 in Tampa, Fla. After that it's a discussion with former New York Giant turned MMA fighter Matt Mitrione and Season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter. And I couldn't help think about Forrest Griffin while reading Zinkin's release. Never a good loser, Griffin was schooled by Anderson Silva at UFC 101, stormed out of the Octagon and hasn't been heard from since. Word has it days before the bout the last thing he wanted to deal with was media attention. Stay tuned.
Daniel Cormier, 2x US Olympic Wrestler and 6x U.S Senior National Champion, has just signed on with Zinkin Entertainment & Sports Management, officially beginning his professional career in MMA. Cormier adds his name to other MMA stars under Zinkin Entertainment such as Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin, Jon Fitch, Mike Swick, Josh Koscheck, Cain Velasquez, Josh Thomson, Bobby Southworth and Paul Buentelllo.
Cormier, resident of Oklahoma since his collegiate wrestling career at Oklahoma State University, is known for his extraordinary talent and physically aggressive, explosive style of wrestling. Zinkin Entertainment is excited to have Cormier as part of their team and have high expectations for their latest MMA fighter. Daniel will soon begin training at the world-renowned American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) in San Jose , California under “Crazy” Bob Cook, Javier Mendez and Dave Camarillo.
With a collegiate record of 117-10, Cormier is considered one of the most decorated U.S wrestlers.
