When Jordan Rinaldi entered his Charlotte, N.C.-area high school, he
weighed 93 pounds. He loved baseball, and he liked football, but his
size didn’t make playing those sports quite feasible.
Instead, he followed his older brothers into wrestling.
Funny, then, that Rinaldi earned a big mixed-martial-arts win by
fighting a guy who was much bigger. Usually a 155-pounder, Rinaldi moved
up to 170 pounds to beat Tenyeh Dixon (who was actually about 25 pounds
bigger) at a Complete Devastation MMA show on Nov. 12 in Altoona, Pa.
