If Bella is half as tough as her Dad then she's gonna be a friggin beast.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Any idea how many recruits will be in the first class?

 

[GunFingers]

If Bella is half as tough as her Dad then she's gonna be a friggin beast.

UFC has been hyping her already.

Teach everyone the art of snapping arms.

Looks like she's well on her way... Here's Bella in an MMA match from Dec '20.

Are you allowed to wrestle in college if you’ve fought professionally? I always thought you couldn’t, but I guess not

Teach everyone the art of snapping arms.

In Frank's case probably more so legs.

 

[LaxHawk174]

In Frank's case probably more so legs.

He'll help us work it backwards, avoid getting our legs snapped/twisted/wrenched. Our knee injury rate just decreased by 20% automatically with this commitment, very big.

Jeez, we've got four #1 recruits. What is this, Duke? Welcome to Iowa, Sam and Bella!
