Despite having type I Diabetes, Kyle O'Reilly is one of the most gifted athletes to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots.

With a sports background that includes amateur wrestling, ice hockey, football, lacrosse, kickboxing, Jiu-jitsu, rugby, and snowboarding, Kyle has the athletic chops and combat sports experience to do well in MMA. At just under 200 pounds, he's perfect for either the light heavyweight or super middleweight divisions.

With his kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu and amateur wrestling resume, Kyle already seems primed for MMA. While he is dedicated to pro wrestling currently, if he chooses to switch careers we see a golden future for him.
