Jake Butler has made headlines all over the world due to his status as a Princeton University graduate who decided to turn his back on a career on Wall Street in order to follow his martial arts dreams, but after two outings in the ONE FC cage, the novelty is starting to wear off and reality is setting in. The New Jersey native could be a serious light heavyweight contender. If there is one skill set that is almost guaranteed to bring success in MMA, it is wrestling. Butler, who competed at an NCAA Division One level and captained the wrestling team at Princeton, brings much more to ONE FC than just an inspiring life story. He has the ability to take opponents down and keep them there. His two fights to date have lasted a total of four minutes and 58 seconds. He is two for two with takedown attempts in his MMA career. No fighter put on their back by Butler has ever been able to escape or work their way back to the feet again either
