Mixed martial arts career

I was just getting into wrestling at that time and would always try some of the techniques with my friends. It was on the back of my mind until my sophomore year in college wrestling when a friend asked me if I would trade him some takedowns for submission techniques. I agreed and started training at this little hole in the wall and was asked to fight."When asked about his MMA inspirations, Story stated "I would like to emulate Fedor's aggressive instinct, Anderson Silva's elusive, quick striking, and B.J. Penn's ability to hype a fight. I train to be successful, and to make my team successful, I strive to be better than these fighters I just mentioned, but that is all expected."
