Nolf has been wrestling at the highest level for some time, recently competing for a spot on the US Olympics Team Trials at under 74kg – and winning a silver medal.
Despite his wrestling-centric training, however, Nolf has also dabbled in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – occasionally training with former teammate Bo Nickal and sparring with elite athletes like Craig Jones.
While Simmons may not have the same wrestling successes as Nolf does, his background as a two-time NAIA All-American and NCAA Division II coach speaks volumes about his experience in the sport.
Simmons has also delved into the realm of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, competing in the ADCC Trials earlier this year.
