- See Less -Daniel Cormier grew up in probably one of the most least likely places for a World Class wrestler to grow up...Louisiana. The individualism and accountability of wrestling made him love and follow the sport. In college he wrestled at Oklahoma State where he was a NCAA finalist losing to Cael Sanderson. Since college he has ruled in the US at his freestyle weight. In 2004 Athens Olympics he narrowly missed going to the finals and then narrowly missed medaling.
Slay couldn't do it
gotta love the nay-sayers, you think wrestling would teach people something.
