Darrell Gholar: Road to Recovery

Today I write to inform about Darrell Gholar. Darrell fought a tough veteran in Evan Tanner at UFC 18 and lost due to a rear-naked choke. Though he amassed a record of 5-6 in his career, he fought some of the best. Mr. Gholar was originally from Chicago Illinois. He also lived in Brazil, Los Angeles and Texas. Mr. Gholar excelled as a world-class wrestler; a 3-time US Greco-Roman National Champion. He was an Olympic alternate and a World Team captain. Mr. Gholar was also the 2000 World Vale Tudo Champion.

As time progresses, the fighters of the past get older and disappear into the shadows. It is up to us to keep their legends strong. Unfortunately, December 8th, 2013 - Mr. Gholar had a massive stroke that temporarily paralyzed him. Darrell still has a lot of life in him and he is not ready to go.
