MVP, Most Voluptuous Player - Olympic Gold Medalist - JORDAN BOROUGHS

Jordan Burroughs (born July 8, 1988) is an American world and Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling.


On August 10, 2012, Burroughs defeated Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi of Iran to become the Olympic Champion at 74 kilos. The victory brings Burroughs a big payday. After winning just one gold medal in Beijing, USA Wrestling created the Living the Dream Medal Fund, which pays $250,000 for any U.S. wrestler who wins an Olympic gold medal.


Burroughs's Twitter name is @alliseeisgold, as he has won every tournament he entered since the beginning of the 2009 season. Burroughs stated that he is interested in pursuing a career in mixed martial arts after his wrestling career is over in 2017. Burrough's plan is to compete in every world and olympic competition until 2017.
