When Pat Cummins got off the plane from one of his many trips between
California for mixed-martial-arts training and Colorado Springs, Colo.,
for wrestling, he checked his messages.
It was 2010, and Cummins had been bouncing between sports for years with
the help of his friend Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal.
Now he had a message from Ryan Parsons, “King Mo’s” manager. Apparently,
people had been talking about the former Penn State wrestler.
