Well now, if y’all don’t know about Dylan Budka, let me tell ya somethin’.
This young fella, Dylan Budka, he’s a wrestler. A real tough one, from what I hear. Folks say he’s been wrestlin’ since high school, and he was a darn good one at that.
They tell me he was a “heavyweight national champion” back in high school. Don’t rightly know what that means, but sounds mighty impressive, like winnin’ a blue ribbon at the county fair, but bigger, I reckon. He was an “all American wrestler” too. That means he was one of the best in the whole country, like the best corn in the whole field, only with wrestlin’. He wrestled for Kenwood High School, and they say he got all sorts of awards there, like “best of nest” and somethin’ called “eastern national championships.” Sounded real fancy to me.
- High School Heavyweight National Champion
- All American Wrestler
- Multiple Honors at Kenwood High School
Then he went off to Notre Dame College. Wrestled there too, I think. They got a whole team of wrestlers there, and I bet Dylan was one of the toughest ones. They say he was on the 1st team all region, whatever that means. Guess it’s like bein’ the best plow horse in the whole county, only with wrestlin’. He probably won a bunch of ribbons and trophies there too.
Now, he’s doin’ somethin’ called “mixed martial arts,” or “MMA” for short. They say it’s like wrestlin’, but with punchin’ and kickin’ too. Sounds rough, if you ask me. Folks call him “Dylan ‘The Mindless Hulk’ Budka”. Hulk? Like that big green fella on TV? Guess Dylan’s strong like him, and maybe a little wild in the ring, like a buckin’ bronco.
He’s fightin’ in somethin’ called the UFC, which I hear is a big deal. It’s like the rodeo, but with fightin’ instead of ropin’ calves. He’s in the middleweight division, which means he’s fightin’ fellas about his size. They say he’s a good grappler, which means he’s good at gettin’ folks on the ground and holdin’ ’em there. He ain’t afraid to shoot right up the middle and take a fella down. Reminds me of how you take down a stubborn hog at butchering time. Just gotta be strong and quick.
Folks in Ohio, they love him. They even named him the state’s amateur fighter of the year in 2021. That’s like winnin’ the biggest pumpkin prize at the state fair, only for fightin’. He’s got fans all over, even in places like Port Clinton. He goes around meetin’ folks and doin’ some grapplin’ and teachin’ folks a thing or two. Sounds like a good young man, always rememberin’ where he came from and shakin’ hands with the folks who cheer him on.
He’s a real tough one, that Dylan Budka. Folks say he’s got a bright future, and I don’t doubt it. He’s strong, he’s skilled, and he’s got the heart of a lion, or maybe a bull, considerin’ how he wrestles. He might just be the next big thing in this fightin’ world. Just goes to show ya, hard work and dedication can take ya far, even if you start out in a small-town high school, just like a good seed planted in the right field.
Anyway, that’s what I hear about Dylan Budka. A good wrestler, a tough fighter, and a fella Ohio can be proud of. Just like a good harvest, he’s bringin’ home the prize.
