Oklahoma State wrestler Wyatt Hendrickson, who pulled off one of the biggest upsets in college wrestling earlier this year, is set to headline the launch of a new professional freestyle wrestling league.
Real American Freestyle (RAF) announced Tuesday a partnership with Takedown apparel and confirmed talks with Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson about a possible rematch.

Hendrickson stunned the sport in March when he defeated Minnesota’s Steveson in the 285-pound final at the NCAA Division I wrestling championships.
