Jared Rosholt

Jared Rosholt is an American former mixed martial artist who competed in the Heavyweight division. A professional competitor from 2011 to 2019, Rosholt competed for the UFC, Titan FC, Professional Fighters League, and Legacy FC. He is the younger brother of former mixed martial artist Jake Rosholt.

Background

Rosholt was born and raised in Sandpoint, Idaho, attending Sandpoint High School before moving to Oklahoma his junior year where he attended Ponca City High School. Rosholt competed in wrestling as well as football. In wrestling, Rosholt was a member of Wrestling USA Magazine's 2005 All-America Dream Team, a four-time State Champion, and a two-time national runner-up. Rosholt continued wrestling at Oklahoma State University, following in the footsteps of his older brother, Jake, a three-time National Champion for the Cowboys. Jared Rosholt went on to be a three-time All-American and 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. ^[3] Rosholt finished fourth in his division at the 2008 NCAA wrestling championships, ^[4] third in 2009, ^[5] and second in 2010. ^[6] Rosholt's combination of size and speed had many wondering if he would follow the lead of his older brother Jake into MMA competition. ^[7]

After this, he rebounded against Nick Rossborough on July 29, 2017, with a unanimous decision victory at Professional Fighters League 2: Everett. In the following year, on June 7, he scored another win over Valdrin Istrefi with a unanimous decision at PFL 1. However, his winning streak ended on July 19, when he was defeated by Kelvin Tiller via a guillotine choke at PFL 4. He made a comeback and defeated the same opponent, Kelvin Tiller, with a unanimous decision in a 2018 PFL Heavyweight Quarterfinal bout. Yet, his journey saw another defeat, this time by Philipe Lins, who won via TKO stoppage at PFL 8 on October 5, 2018.

The year 2019 started with a loss to Denis Goltsov on June 6 in PFL 3, where he lost via TKO stoppage in the first round. However, he bounced back with a win against Satoshi Ishii on August 8 in PFL 6, which was decided unanimously.
