Fighter Bio
Career
Mike Van Arsdale, he was a state champion and national champion in high school, he went to Iowa State and won the national tournament there. Van Arsdale was encouraged to jump back into competition as he watched colleagues of equal caliber continue to excel at national and even international levels. Van Arsdale's hunch was well-founded. With a lot effort, he earned an alternate slot in both the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games. MMA came knocking amidst it all and Van Arsdale excelled until one night in Brazil's IVC against a brutal up-and-comer named Wanderlei Silva. Joining the Army for the next few years, Van Arsdale says a turning point came at the age of 36, when his ailing father encouraged him to pursue fighting while he was still physically able.
