He is an Armenian Greco Roman wrestler at 66 kg, so about 145.
Mihran Harutyunyan - Wikipedia

On his Olympic silver medal after some shady refereeing cost him the gold:
Arutyunyan Frustrated, Considering Quitting

I made this gif of one of his World Championship 2015 highlights:
That gif makes it look like he's transitioning to professional wrestling, and he decided to practice his finishing move, 'the Hell-icopter' in the middle of his Olympic match.

Can't wait. Anybody remember the Iranian Gold medal wrestler Reza Nazri? He was a beast and Panther Productions put out a whole line of instructional videos of him while he was making his transition to MMA. Then he ran into an American roid monster by the name of Brian... I forgot his last name, but he beat him liike a red-headed step child and that was the end of that.

Ok, maybe, BUT Arjan Bhullar was one of the last prospects I followed, and because of that, I got him in MagWar for his first UFC fight, which he won. Then he got submitted in his second fight, but I had already gotten those sweet 5 flex points from the first...I beat Sex Chicken @True Belieber by only 3.25 points to win the quarter and this tmmac mug. Just saying. This will all come down to one Monster's or MagWar pick some day.
