Seeing as he already gave up college eligibility, I think it was a good move. That being said, I don't see him making the Olympics in 2016 like he plans, so i dont see why hes waiting to go into mma. Originally he was going to wait until after 2020 to fight, which I think would have been smart so he could accomplish his goal. Now that being said, I hope he proves me wrong and makes a run at the Olympics in 2016.
