Ben wants to have as many fights as his body can handle in 2009 so he can improve himself and work his way up the ladder. He feels that he cannot become the wrestler he wants to be by living in the United States because the best wrestlers aren't there. He went from 6th in the US in 2007 to 1st in 2008 and credits that to game planning and strategy. His ultimate goal for mma is the same as anything he goes after in life, to be the best. If he didn't think he could be the best he wouldn't try. When he is not fighting or wrestling he enjoys state parks and frisbee golf.

Ben shows real commitment to his brother, I know he promised max he would be there for him until he graduated from mizzou. I think he checking out mma to see were it will take him and also make him a better wrestler. At some point I think he will get back to his Olympic wrestling goals. His approach to taking on some thing knew is a good one, Watch and learn,
Go ben, geter done

Judging by the comments on here there definitely needs to be an age cap on being able to comment ... Maybe 18+? I'm sick of little teenage haters crapping up all the forums and comment sections on sites. Ban the little creeps, pls!.. haha

Strategy and Planning.....that is an approach that Ben is capitalizing on, and, not unlike a scientist.....Think about it. He is humble enough to know who he cannot beat. Good for him.
