    Former UNI player to UFC

    Joe Cason, former UNI footballer, albeit a short stint. Is now destined for the UFC. He is training with one of, if not the best MMA training camps in Milwaukee with Duke Roufous. Notable fighters in his camp are Pat Barry, Erik Koch and Anthony "Showtime" Pettis. There is a UFC event coming to Milwaukee in August and I would be willing to bet that Cason will be on that card.

    Congrats to Joe. He has worked very hard.

    Re: Former UNI player to UFC

    I always had high hopes for Joe coming out of SE Polk and then Iowa Central. He was a freak of an athlete. Good to see that he is succeeding.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

      I went to school with Joe at SE Polk, he was a good athlete, and he could have made a big impact at UNI if he wanted to. Glad to see this is working out for him. He's a nice guy, and I wish him the best.

        Cason defeated UFC veteran Sean Salmon in the first round via TKO last Friday night. I forgot to mention that in my original post.

                I hope you enjoyed it. Sounds like we share a friend or two.
                And yes, Roy signed a 4 fight contract with Strikefore.

                    Joe Cason was on MMAjunkie.com radio with Duke Roufus today. Talks about playing football at UNI mentions his friend and former UNI football player Quentin Scott. Good Interview and very funny.
