Does HS wrestling benefit from the popularity of MMA?

I think it probably has. I have noticed several questions relating to high-school wrestling and MMA that indicate to me that some young people have at least considered some of the aspects of each and of going out for high-school wrestling or their approach to taking it more seriously in those PE programs where wrestling is one of the sports that a high-school includes in their curriculum.

yeah it probably has because kids who want to be MMA fighters need somewhere to start, and what better way then high school wrestling.

it has alot of great fighters started out doing wresling is a good base people have to be experts at one thing and good at everthing else going to mma schools is fine but if you dont have one thing you are great at then you will be sorry later
