JORGENSEN
Football alumnus dabbles in new sport
Continued from Page 7 Jorgensens ultimate goal is to break into the UFC circuit and fight his way to the top. Recently he traveled to San Jose, Calif., to train with some of the top heavyweights in the sport, including Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez. It was like playing one-onone with LeBron James and only losing 2115, Jorgensen

said. I saw where I need to improve in order to take my game to the next level but it was a huge condence booster. Bowler agreed Jorgensen can reach the upper echelon of the sport within a short time frame because of his athleticism and work ethic. Jan can go where he wants to go in this sport, Bowler said. Jan is athletic and a hard worker so if he sets his mind to it he can make it. Jorgensen has a dream to make it to the top of the sport and said he will not stop until he makes it. I got into this sport to contend for the UFC title, he said. Ive got a ways to go, but that is where I see myself going.
