Uriah Faber
1 June 2008
I wrestled this guy a few times in High School. He wrestled for Lincoln High and was a really cool guy. Needless to say, he always beat me.
Probably the closest I came to beating him was when he pulled an illegal move (he claimed he did it accidentally and I believe him). The move is illegal in collegiate/HS wrestling because if it is done wrong it could paralyze someone. He did it perfectly so I wasn’t hurt in the least. If I had claimed that I couldn’t continue the match I would have won since you can’t win a match my injuring someone with an illegal move. It wasn’t an important match and I wouldn’t pull that anyways so I continued the match, and lost.
I had no idea he was into MMA, let alone one of the stars. A friend started telling about this bad ass featherweight from California and I realized it was the same guy I remembered from High School.
