UNIVERSITY PARK — The pep band blasted music as Cyler Sanderson sprinted off the mat.

Penn State’s other wrestlers sprung from their seats. The public address announcer summoned fans for a push-up contest. A dance team prepared to perform.

The scene during Sunday’s intermission against Michigan showed why wrestling meets at Rec Hall are creating a buzz again.

An explosive start, which included Sanderson’s first-period pin of Dave Johnson at 157 pounds, helped the Nittany Lions engage 4,511 fans during a 29-10 thumping of Michigan.

Five Ounces of Pain Blog: UFC 109 – The Aftermatch

Raw Talent. “Mr. Wonderful” making it look easy. Finally, Phil Davis has arrived. I’ve been telling anyone that would listen for the last year about this ridiculously talented former NCAA Champion wrestler out of Penn State that was poised to have a tremendous impact on the future of the UFC’s light heavyweight division, and Davis’ performance at UFC 109 solidified my belief that the undefeated twenty-five year old has all of the tools necessary to go as far as he chooses to in the sport in due time. Davis is one of the few wrestlers with the unique ability to convert a series of takedowns combined with technical top control throughout the course of a bout into of the most fascinating aspects of the game to watch. Top notch wrestling at it’s finest combined with what appears to be an unlimited level of raw fighting talent for the still developing Davis have officially merged to put the ENTIRE light heavyweight division on notice.


UFC: Davis Impressive in Debut

Former NCAA Division I National champion wrestler Phil Davis didn’t look like a UFC debutant with only four previous fights to his name as he made quite an impression with a dominant three round unanimous decision win over Brian Stann. Watch fight
