Fighter Bio
Career
Matthew James "The Law" Lindland (born May 17, 1970) is an American professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and Olympic wrestler.
Lindland started wrestling at age 15. He represented the United States in Greco-Roman Wrestling at the 2000 Summer Olympics in the 69-76 kg weight category, winning the silver medal. He almost didn't compete in the 2000 Summer Olympics. In the finals of the Olympic trials, Lindland wrestled Keith Sieracki.
Lindland accused Sieracki of using his legs to secure an advantage that led to Sieracki winning the match. (Under the rules of Greco-Roman wrestling, athletes are not permitted the use of their legs for advantage or defense of offensive moves).
Lindland eventually took the issue as far as the Supreme Court to secure a spot on the 2000 Olympic team, arguing that an arbitration which had come out in Sieracki's favor was flawed legally. He was given a "wrestle-off" against Sieracki, which he won. Due to the legal aspect of his Olympic berth, he eventually adopted the nickname of "The Law".
During one of the fights against Sieracki, Lindland bit Sieracki in the ear which caused Sieracki's ear to bleed. The match went on seemingly without the officials aware of the blatant foul that happened.
