Carlton Haselrig (born January 22, 1966) is a former heavyweight wrestler and NFL player. Haselrig wrestled for University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He is the only person to win six NCAA titles in wrestling, three times in Division II and three times in Division I, all six for Pitt–Johnstown.[1] Haselrig then moved on to professional football, where he played five seasons in the NFL. In 2008, he made his mixed martial arts debut in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Wrestling

Haselrig won PIAA Pennsylvania state high school championship in 1984 despite not wrestling during the regular season due to Johnstown High's lack of a wrestling team.[2]

Haselrig won a junior world Greco-Roman title in 1985, and a junior world Freestyle title in 1986, while competing for the United States.

While in college Haselrig would defeat future NCAA and Olympic champion Kurt Angle.[3] In 2009, he was inducted into Pitt–Johnstown's Athletics Hall of Fame.[4]

NFL

After a brief run in wrestling on the international level, Haselrig turned his attention to pro football. Despite never having played football in college,[5] Haselrig was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers and became a Pro Bowl offensive guard in his third NFL season.[6] 1992 was his best season in the NFL, making the 1992 Pro Bowl, while helping the Steelers win the 1992 AFC Central Division title. He also helped the Steelers to three AFC playoff appearances (1989, 1992, 1993). After four years with the Steelers, Haselrig spent one season with the New York Jets before retiring from the NFL.

Mixed martial arts

Haselrig made his professional MMA debut on April 19, 2008 for Battle Cage Xtreme IV in Atlantic City against IFL veteran Shane Ott. He defeated Shane Ott by a technical knockout at 4:09 in the first round. Haselrig defeated Carlos Moreno on May 31, 2008 during the undercard of EliteXC's first-ever CBS telecast. He displayed his superior wrestling skills during the first round keeping Carlos on the mat. Carlos did not return to the ring for the second round. His final record in MMA was 3-2 before retiring.
