Summary
Jordan Burroughs said Real American Freestyle has given him a way back into elite competition at 38, ahead of his RAF debut in Cleveland on Aug. 22.
RAF matters, he said, because freestyle wrestlers usually peak between ages 25 and 30 and face few post-college options to keep competing at a high level.
Burroughs also called the league unusual for wrestling because it has shown sustainability, after many professional wrestling ventures he has seen failed.
Seven combined World and Olympic gold medals make Burroughs the most decorated U.S. wrestler by that measure, underscoring the profile RAF is using as it reaches its one-year anniversary with Fox Nation.
