With first win under his belt, prospect Cole Konrad open to all future options

Two-time NCAA wrestling champion Cole Konrad (1-0) did not follow the
usual path to fighting professionally in mixed martial arts.
 
Before Konrad ever had a fight, he was making a full-time living in the
sport. The massive heavyweight earned his stripes as a paid training
partner for Brock Lesnar while the current UFC heavyweight champion was
busy making a splash in the sport.
 
Now Konrad, 25, is stepping out onto his own and aims to make a big impact with his 280-pound frame.
