Olympic Wrestling Makes Final 3
SB Nation’s Luke Thomas reported via twitter that Olympic Wrestling was selected by the International Olympic Committee’s executive board as one of three sports that may be included in the 2020 Olympic Games. Baseball/Softball and Squash were the other two.
In September, the full 100 member IOC will vote on which sport to include in the 2020 games. The announcement on Wednesday brought cheers from the members of Olympic Wrestling supporters in attendance.
Payout Perspective:
The “Save Wrestling” movement was touted by many MMA fighters and received support from the UFC. Former Olympic Gold Medalist and current pro-wrestler Kurt Angle picked up the cause as well. The movement to save wrestling was picked up via many platforms including social media. Still, its not certain whether all of the lobbying will help the efforts. We will see if the efforts to “modernize” the sport will appeal to the IOC and help get it back into the Olympics.

Cezar "Mutante" vs. Clint Hester reportedly heading to UFC 163 in August
 |
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
"Ultimate Fighter: Brazil" winner Cezar "Mutante" Ferreira will finally make his first appearance in the Octagon since winning his season last year, as SporTV reports that he'll take on TUF 17's Clint Hester at UFC 163 in Brazil.
After defeating Sergio Moraes in his UFC debut last June, Ferreira was supposed to return to action at UFC on FX 8 this month, but an injury took him out of the event. He brings a 5-2 career record into this fight.
Hester made a successful debut in April on the finale card for his season of the reality show, defeating season 16's Bristol Marunde with a third round knockout. That moved him to 8-3 overall in his career.
UFC 163 takes place from Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 3, headlined by the UFC Featherweight Championship bout between Jose Aldo and Anthony Pettis.
