Jared Rosholt (born August 4, 1986) is an American mixed martial artist and former collegiate amateur wrestler who competes as a heavyweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is the younger brother of former UFC fighter Jake Rosholt.

College wrestler

Competing for Oklahoma State University, Rosholt finished his collegiate career with an overall record of 125-27. That record qualified him as the winningest heavyweight in the history of the Oklahoma State wrestling program. His 125 wins also qualify as the fifth-most victories by a wrestler in any weight class in Oklahoma State history.[1] Rosholt finished fourth in his division at the 2008 NCAA wrestling championships,[2] third in 2009,[3] and second in 2010.[4]

Rosholt's combination of size and speed had many wondering if he would follow the lead of his older brother Jake into MMA competition.[5]

MMA career

Rosholt made his professional mixed martial arts debut on February 26, 2011 where he won by submission (punches) in just 1:17 of the first round.[6]

Titan Fighting

Rosholt came to fight on two days notice as a replacement to fight at Titan FC 18: Pulver vs. Davidson against Kirk Grinlinton.[7] He won the fight by technical knockout at just 1:37 of the first round.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Rosholt announced in mid-September that he has signed with the UFC. He made his debut against fellow newcomer Walt Harris on November 30, 2013 at The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale.[8] After being dropped in the first round, Rosholt rallied back in the second and third rounds, winning the fight via unanimous decision.

Rosholt was expected to face promotional newcomer Oleksiy Oliynyk on January 25, 2014 at UFC on Fox 10.[9] However, Oliynyk was forced out of the bout with an injury and Rosholt was pulled from the card altogether.[10]

Rosholt is expected to face Daniel Omielańczuk on April 11, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 39.[11]
