Helen Maroulis is an American Olympic gold medalist in wrestling. The 25-yer-old won her medal at the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro but has dominated the freestyle wrestling scene for almost 4 years.
Since winning her gold medal Helen has been relatively quiet but that is all about to change.
With the UFC, Bellator & Invicta in search of new stars, especially female stars considering Ronda Rousey’s recent missteps, Maroulis can pick-and-choose her MMA promotion of choice. The only problem with that is Helen had never publicly declared an interest in MMA.
That is until now.
Helen spent the [ast week in Ireland training with ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor.
This is the first true sign from Maroulis that she’s open to a future in MMA. She competed at 55kg (121lbs) in the Olympics, so a run at the 115lb division seems in her future.
It’d be smart for the UFC to snap her up and stash her in Invicta until she’s ready for a big time challenge.
