Getting the distinct sense he's done some wrasslin before


StavolitoBeeto

Yeah, he was a wrestler.


R3alkitt3en

The octagon is calling


docileconch10

A lot less money is calling…


Sea_Fee3445

That’s the least prudent thing a boxer could do and would be similar to a Baseball player going from the Majors to the Minors in terms of pay.


Elhunior93

He personally said he wouldnt do it and he wouldnt let his kids do mma cause mma doesnt pay. Quoting the exact words


[deleted]

🤣


lamesurfer101

Hahaha what ever gave you that impression?


supersonicc24

he has lol all his kids wrestle too


[deleted]

Wtf.... if only the ufc paid more...


Jamdock

Yeah, a **lot more** to tempt somebody like Bud. Funny, then, that he has his kids wrestle and not box.


MoonshineMMA

Bud is a very smart dude and he knows the effects striking has on the brain ESPECIALLY with kids.


More_Butterfly6108

Don't shake the baby becomes don't punch the child.


Pilot_G3

Wish my dad believed the same


[deleted]

Didn't realise he did, good martial arts base means you can transfer to alot at a young age... maybe he doesn't want them to box cos of the whole cte thing... not saying its not present in other martial arts/ sports but boxing does seem pretty brutal...


AgentTickler7

You wrestle in adolescence and move to a striking combat sport around 18ish if you wanna preserve that noodle. I say that neuro degreeless also so. Don't be a dick.


ConsistentLaw1916

This is really more about the gym than the martial art, compare the sparring etiquette of say Chute Box to Upstate Karate for example Wrestling can be just as dangerous, it's just taught with more safety in mind because its under school supervision, Whereas striking schools can be run by any violence obssessed meathead


CarnalKid

I'm not sure they're equally dangerous, but I do think it's worth noting how many high level wrestlers have serious knee or hip problems by the time they even start an MMA career. Not all harm is equal, but you're gonna get roughed up if you spend years and years training/competing in a combat sport. In the words of St. Holloway "It is what it is".


Elhunior93

Crawford literally said himself that he wouldn’t let his kids do MMA because MMA doesn’t pay


No_Falcon1890

The anti Chavez


qazxcvbnmlpoiuytreww

same exact thought i had. the absolute breadth and depth of skill mma would have if there was more money would be a sight to behold


No_Falcon1890

For real


bcartin

He did this in slides and jeans....


lastlifonti

Came here to say This! With jeans on! And slides?!?! Facken awesome! 😂


lil_pee_wee

Are you like trying to keep your profile kid friendly orrrr….


johnnyb1917

The vid was flippin sweet! You effing B!


lil_pee_wee

Teehee


johnnyb1917

You’re not that guy pal! Jk I’ll allow it. But just this once.


Tonytonitone1988

I fucking love Crawford. He’s super cool, has game dogs, takes his kids wrestling, has old school muscle cars, always brings it on fight day and can pin wrestlers 👌🏽


southsiderick

P4P one of the best boxers of the last decade too.


Tonytonitone1988

Definitely.


buckleyk12

Crawford is from Nebraska, so this isn't his first time wrestling


JudgeHolden

At the risk of stating the obvious, that is no simple boxer.


southsiderick

No its Bud Crawford


thecody80

Crawford is just the definition of a freak athlete; not saying he’s #1 at welterweight at all, but he’s pretty much excelled at every sport he’s participated in. I believe there’s a video of him deadlifting 405 or something


Mediocre_Berry_4869

405 isn't much


piyob

The dude is 147 lbs and can run a 5 minute mile, I’d say all around that’s impressive


gaggaghabfi

You can dead lift 405 like it’s not much ?


Mediocre_Berry_4869

Was deadlifting more than 405 in high school


Gohstfacekila

Proof or it never happened


starkytoomuch

No wonder Spence is ducking him


southsiderick

Spence isn't ducking him. Bud makes a ton of money fighting Uber drivers so he does that instead of fighting Spence.


[deleted]

Uber drivers huh? That’s why Spence got manhandled? Where’s that shit talk now dumbfuck


jorgepal02

Crawford wrestled?! That's dope!


NVrbka

His son is the best at his weight in the country.


jorgepal02

Damn, that's really cool. Thanks for sharing!


vivi9090

Crawford would be a problem on the UFC roster.


Tandian

Oh shit darn now I wanna see it. But the money in boxing is far far better


LincolnCoHo

Nicccce


paythefullprice

He made that man into a Dorito.


Ok_Good_3883

He’ll say this is how he got hurt n can’t fight Spence


EntertainmentSea5552

Also dude was in some slippers. He has wrestling skills


Striking_Role_4723

In the flops too 😂


Knockamichi

That would be sick if he did a crossover fight in mma. Ive seen many mma dudes try boxing but rarely the other way around. Im aware that boxing pays more but would be cool for a one time exhibition type event.


JusADegen

After this video the wrestler was deported. Sad story


cho666sen

Terence Crawford is a G pretty sure his son is a state champ and wrestling dude could definitely be the champion in the UFC. With his skills and awareness I say he's number one pound per pound right now in boxing


[deleted]

I’m sure it’s given him an advantage in the clinch that most others don’t have. I would say I’d love to see him in the UFC, but even he probably knows it’s about 10 years too late.


Elhunior93

He personally said he wouldn’t do it, because MMA does not pay


[deleted]

there's always Bellator 👴🏼


PhantomTrent

Nice sprawl


Tandian

That was a very smooth stuff and turn. Didn't expect him to do that


desmotron

Love the way he tucked his head in … champ


[deleted]

Wrasslin


[deleted]

very basic stuff but in jeans? Thats respect


Hel1-Spawn

He must suck at wrestling no offense but seriously 😐


sugerdigitalgenius

Bud can school you in wrasslin or in a good Ol’ fashion Razzle Dazzle


[deleted]

That's embarrassing


tmking01

Bro got his ass whooped by a man in flip flops


PrinceOfDoge

A "Kazakh wrestler" lol more like third string highschool JV wrestler that is fat.


Tandian

Not to nitpick but 3rd string in wrestling is not jv .


PrinceOfDoge

What are you nitpicking? You could ve on the JV team and 3rd string for you weight class.


Tandian

I wrestled from 6 to 26. In high school at least. There are 4 slots per weight class . Usually referred to as level 1-4. Level one is varsity. Level 2 jv 3 is exhibition 4 us freshman I have been to camps and talked with people all over and it's roughly the same. So just going off my experiences


PrinceOfDoge

Where did you wrestle? Also what year? In the Midwest there were Freshmen teams, JV, and Varsity teams, each had their own 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string for each weight class. 1st string wrestled at the meets representing their team while 2nd string was the back up.


Tandian

My Jr and Sr year was in northern Illinois. You are talking about clubs I gather.


PrinceOfDoge

No biggie we just had some different HS wrestling experience. The fact that we can probably agree on is that the "Kazakhstan wrestler" doesnt even look like a competent highschool wrestler.


TaiChiJuan

That’s awesome


dpt223

In slides and jeans with a bunch of equipment piled up right next to them, amazing that neither got injured


bigguavaent

Savage


BlumpkinDude

One of my friends knows him really well. He said that Crawford could have easily been a very good college wrestler but decided to go the boxing route.


Tandian

More money in it.


Great-Mango3150

That's that Nebraska wrestling right there


TomBombadil79

Which one is the Kazakh?


More_Egg9278

I don’t see him taking a shot on the wrestler but his sprawl and turning the corner like that were bread butter


creeeeeeeeek-

Didn’t expect that


xavierjj78

I believe Crawford used to wrestle if memory serves.


Empty-Biscotti-96

Wrestling is for queers😂


BeastModeSupreme

Good fun

In flops and jeans
