Jordan Ernest Burroughs (born July 8, 1988) is an American freestyle wrestler and former folkstyle wrestler who currently competes at 74 kilograms.[2]

In freestyle, Burroughs was the 2012 Olympic gold medalist, and is a six-time world champion (nine-time medalist), three-time Pan American Games gold medalist, multiple-time gold medalist in international tournaments, and a twelve-time US Olympic or World Team Member.[3] He holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championships in American history, and is considered one of the greatest freestyle wrestlers of all time.[4][5][6]

In folkstyle, Burroughs was a two-time NCAA Division I National champion for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and was awarded the Dan Hodge Trophy in 2011.[7]

Early life

[edit]

Burroughs is from the Sicklerville section of Winslow Township, New Jersey.[8] When he was in elementary school, he brought a wrestling flyer home and became the first member of his family to ever wrestle, at the age of five.[9] He went on to attend Winslow Township High School, where he was a three-sport athlete in wrestling, football, and track. He dreamed of playing in the NFL as a wide receiver, but gave up on it to focus on wrestling, weighing 130 pounds as a freshman.[10]

As a high school wrestler, he became a three-time district champion, two-time regional champion, state (NJSIAA) champion, and NHSCA national champion in his senior year (2006).[3][11] He graduated with 115 wins and 20 losses.[12]

College career

[edit]

In 2006, he accepted a scholarship to the University of Nebraska as the 52nd-ranked senior in the nation.[13]

2006–07

[edit]

Burroughs freshman year ended with 16 wins and 13 losses.[14] He was also an NCAA qualifier[15] and placed third at the Big 12 Conference championships.[16]

2007–08

[edit]

For his sophomore year in college, he made adjustments with which he finished regular season with a 34–6 record. He also set a single-season record, scoring 98 dual takedowns and surrendering just seven on the year, marking one of UNL's best sophomore seasons.[14] As the top-seed at the Big 12 Championships, Burroughs made his way to the title with technical fall and major decisions and was also named the Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament.[17] At the NCAAs, he capped three victories up until the semifinals, where he was downed by Hawkeyes' legend Brent Metcalf.[18] He placed third after defeating J.P. O'Connor and Josh Churella in his last matches of the season, claiming All-American honors.[19]

2008–09

[edit]

During his junior year he won the Cliff Keen title (with wins over returning AA J.P. O'Connor of Harvard and defending NCAA champion Jordan Leen of Cornell), where he was named the Outstanding Wrestler.[20] He also broke the school's single-season dual takedown record for the second straight year with 117 in 19 duals, only giving up one himself, to future three-time Bellator MMA World Champion Michael Chandler.[14] Burroughs then claimed his second Big 12 title with wins over Oklahoma State's Neil Erisman and once again over Chandler.[21] Entering as an undefeated (34–0) top-seed, he claimed his first NCAA title by beating fellow undefeated (17–0) second-seed Mike Poeta in the finals.[22] He also defeated future UFC fighter Gregor Gillespie in the semifinals.[23]

2009–10

[edit]

Burroughs was having a 7–0 regular season, including a single win at the Las Vegas Invitational against eventual UFC Interim Champion Justin Gaethje (he forfeited the next matches due to an injury from the match),[24] before suffering a season-ending injury at a dual match against Central Michigan's Steve Brown, where he dropped an overtime loss due to the injury.[25] This led to a medical redshirt for the remainder of the year.

2010–11

[edit]

Burroughs started his comeback senior season strong with a Harold Nichols Classic and Midlands Championships with a win over returning NCAA champion Andrew Howe in the finals, receiving the Dan Gable Most Outstanding Wrestler award due to his performance in the tournament.[26] This capped a perfect 29–0 to finish the regular season.[14] At the Big 12 championships, he defeated second-ranked in the country Tyler Caldwell 2–1 to claim the championship.[27] At the NCAA tournament, he again defeated Caldwell in the finals to become a two-time national champion.[5] He was awarded the Dan Hodge Trophy as the best collegiate wrestler in the country after an undefeated season.[28] He graduated with 128 wins and 20 losses overall, 13 of those coming in his first year.[29]

He outscored his opposition 34–3, and recorded technical falls in three of his five matches (including Narsingh Yadav and Jabrayil Hasanov), the two remaining being a disqualification win against Ali Shabanau and a 4–0 match in the finale against Ezzatollah Akbari, to crown himself as a two-time World Champion.[55][56]

At the World Championships of September 8–14, Burroughs advanced to the semifinals without much problem, beating four-time African Champion Augusto Midana (spraining his MCL throughout the match) and Rashid Kurbanov, who would go on to win the Asian Games Gold medal 20 days later. Despite initial success in the tournament, he was unable to secure his fourth consecutive World/Olympic title, as he was downed by Denis Tsargush 2–9, but captured the bronze medal by pinning Rustam Dudaiev from Ukraine.[67] The loss to Tsargush marked the first time he had been defeated by an international wrestler in over 60 international matches.[68]

2015

Burroughs came back to competition on March 6–7 at the Alexander Medved Prizes International. He made his way to the gold medal in the stacked bracket, defeating Rashid Kurbanov, Ali Shabanau, and Jakob Makarashvili in the process.[69]

Burroughs then competed on April 11–12 at the 15' World Cup. He powered through Cuba's Liván López, Russia's Iakubali Shikhdzhamalov, Mongolia's Pürevjavyn Önörbat and Iran's Morteza Rezaei Ghaleh to claim his fourth straight World Cup.[70] He also downed Luis Quintana in his fifth-consecutive appearance at Beat the Streets, now on May 12.[71] At the US World Team Trials of June 12–14, Burroughs defeated the challenger Kyle Dake twice, winning by decision in the first match (6–3) and dismantling the later 15' US National champion with a technical fall (14–4).[72] To warm up, Burroughs won his second Pan American Games title on July 18, defeating Liván López (for the third time in his career), Jevon Balfour and Yoan Blanco.[73]

At the World Championships of September 12, Burroughs had a tough six-match run, being dominant on his way to the semifinals (scores of 5–2, TF 10–0, TF 11–0, 5–0) before bumping into European Games champion Aniuar Geduev, whom he was able to defeat in a close 4–3 match. At the finals, Burroughs outclassed his opponent Pürevjavyn Önörbat with a technical fall to help the United States place second at the tournament.[74]

On August 19, Burroughs competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics, entering the tournament as a heavy-favorite to win his second gold medal.[81] After an 8–3 win in the Round of 16 against eight-time African Championships medalist Augusto Midana,[82] he wrestled Aniuar Geduev (whom he was 2–0 against) in the quarterfinals. After a match full of emotions, Burroughs was violently upset with a close 2–3 loss, which stunned the United States and sent him to the consolation bracket.[83] At the consolation semifinals, Burroughs was defeated in an impressive fashion, as Bekzod Abdurakhmonov (whom he had comfortably beaten a month prior) was able to pick up the win by technical fall over the American.[84] After being sent home, an emotional Burroughs with tears on his eyes, stated:

"I left my wife at home with two kids in Nebraska for long periods of time to go to training camps and tournaments in foreign countries, but she did that joyfully, not begrudgingly, because she knew on days like these I always performed. Now I feel like I let her down and I let my family down."[85]

He then made his eight World or Olympic team on June 8–9, at the '18 Final X: Lincoln,[100] where he was the crowd-favorite as Lincoln, Nebraska is the city where he attended college.[101] He did so by defeating US Open champion and NCAA legend Isaiah Martinez, with a 4–1 score in the first match and a case-closing 11–1 technical fall in the second.[102] Burroughs took a trip to Istanbul, Turkey to compete at the Yasar Dogu tournament on July 27–29, where he made the finale comfortably, to face Frank Chamizo.[103] In a high-scoring match packed with action, Burroughs found himself defeated by the Italian via criteria, 10–10 to make the series a tie and claim his first silver medal in his entire freestyle career since crossing over.[104]

At the World Championships of October 20–21, he defeated Mostafa Hosseinkhani from Iran in the opening round, 4–3, but suffered an upset in the quarterfinals to two-time and reigning Russian National champion and eventual winner of the championship Zaurbek Sidakov in a close 5–6 loss.[105] However, he came back in the consolation semis, where he defeated Miroslav Kirov from Belarus by a 9–0 decision. At the bronze medal match, he faced Frank Chamizo and was able to break the tie with a 4–4 criteria win to claim the third-place, therefore his sixth medal from Worlds.[106]

2019

[edit]

Burroughs started off his athletic year in Bulgaria, at the Dan Kolov – Nikola Petrov Memorial of February 28 to March 3. In this tournament, he beat Frank Chamizo once again with a convincing 9–2 win[107] and also got a notable victory over Bekzod Abdurakhmonov to claim the championship.[108] On April 19–21 Burroughs competed at his first Pan American Championships since 2016, and was able to claim his third title with notable victories over Franklin Gómez and Jevon Balfour.[109]

On May 6, Burroughs competed at Beat the Streets against UFC undefeated star and former Dan Hodge Trophy winner Ben Askren.[110] He was able to outclass the long-time retired wrestler via 11–0 technical fall.[111][112] On June 14–15, Burroughs made his seventh US World Team by claiming the spot at 19' Final X: Lincoln. Just like last year, he faced Isaiah Martinez, World Cup champion and two-time US Open champion, who pushed Burroughs to a closer series to last year's. In the first match, Burroughs won a close 5–4 decision, but was defeated via criteria in the second match (5–5) and was forced to come back with a dominant 7–1 to claim the series.[113]

On July 11–14, Burroughs claimed his second Yasar Dogu title, beating 18' U23 World champion Tajmuraz Salkazanov and Yakup Gör in the process. In the finals, he was scheduled to face Frank Chamizo,[114] however, Chamizo pulled out of the bout and Burroughs claimed gold.[115] On August 10, Burroughs took home his third Pan American games title with notable wins over Geandry Garzón and Franklin Gómez, helping to clinch the team title for the United States.[116]

At the World Championships of September 20–21, Burroughs started off with two close victories, coming from behind in both of them and winning 11–10 and 6–4 respectively. He then picked up a solid win to make his way into the semifinals, where he was once again stopped by Zaurbek Sidakov by one point scored in the last second in a 3–4 match, forcing him to compete for the bronze medal.[117] In the third-place match, he was able to defeat Mao Okui with a dominant 10–0 technical fall.[118]

2020

[edit]

On March 6–9, Burroughs claimed his fourth Pan American Championship with dominant scores of 10–0, 3–0 and 8–1 over Jorge Llano, Geandry Garzón and Franklin Gómez.[109][119]

Burroughs was scheduled to compete at the '20 US Olympic Team Trials on April 4 at State College, Pennsylvania.[120] However, the event was postponed for 2021 along with the Summer Olympics due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving all the qualifiers unable to compete.[121]

After months of not being able to compete due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Burroughs wrestled two-time NCAA champion and '19 US National Champion at 86 kilos Zahid Valencia, at a catchweight of 185 pounds in the headline of FloWrestling: Burroughs vs. Valencia, on November 14.[122] At the weigh-ins, Burroughs weighed 178.2 pounds, while Valencia marked 184.1 pounds on the scale.[123] After being topped 0–4 in the first period, Burroughs overcame Valencia and took the lead, outscoring him 8–1 in the second period to mark the final score 8-5 and claim the dual.[124]

2021

[edit]

After downing the number two-ranked 86 kilogram'er in the country, Burroughs had been booked to wrestle former rival and '18 World Champion David Taylor at 86 kilos, while headlining FloWrestling: Burroughs vs. Taylor, which would take place on January 9.[125] However, it was announced on January 8 that Taylor was unable to travel to Austin, Texas due to COVID-19 restrictions and the bout was subsequently postponed for four days later and changed its location for Lincoln, Nebraska, thus moving to a different card also named FloWrestling: Burroughs vs. Taylor.[126] After a 0-4 period, Burroughs rallied late to score four points of his own, but was unable to secure the victory as Taylor had criteria, defeating Burroughs for the first time in five matches.[127]

After a full year without competing at 74 kilograms, Burroughs competed at the prestigious Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series.[128] To make the finals, Burroughs shut down '20 Asian Continental Champion Daniyar Kaisanov and the accomplished Narsingh Yadav. In the finale, he faced two-time World Champion Frank Chamizo for the fifth time, and was edged in a close match by a point, marking the second time Burroughs had ever been defeated in a final (first loss was also handed by Chamizo) and claiming the silver medal.[129][130]

In April 3, Burroughs competed at the rescheduled US Olympic Team Trials in an attempt to make his tenth straight US World/Olympic Team. Able to sit out as a 2019 World Championship medalist, Burroughs faced reigning and two–time World Champion at 79kg and former rival Kyle Dake in a best–of–three final.[131] Both matches were similar and had the same result, with Dake coming out on top after seemingly shutting down the Olympic champion with the scores of 2–3 and 0–3.[132] This marked the first time Burroughs was unable to make the US Olympic or World Team, ending a dominant nine–year long reign.[133]

Burroughs had been set to wrestle former rival Isaiah Martinez on June 18 at Who's Number One,[134] but on June 14, Martinez announced he would not be able to make the weight of 79 kilograms and the bout was cancelled.[135]

After initial manifestation of moving up to 79 kilograms in April, Burroughs registered to bulk up and compete at the 2021 US World Team Trials on September 11–12 as the top-seed, intending to represent the country at the World Championships for the eight time.[136] Burroughs showed immense longevity in his career while displaying his signature double leg throughout the tournament, dropping All-Americans Hayden Hidlay and Chance Marsteller as well as three-time NCAA champion Jason Nolf, advancing to the finals.[137] In a best-of-three series, Burroughs downed another three-time NCAA champion in Alex Dieringer twice in a row in frenetic bouts, getting back on the top of the podium for the first time since March 2020.[138] During his second match with Dieringer, Burroughs suffered a torn calf muscle, and he was told by the doctors that he would need eight weeks to recover, but still represented the United States at the 2021 World Championships from October 3 to 4 in Oslo, Norway, less than a month later.[139][140]

To make his first World Championship final since 2017, Burroughs won four matches during the first date, including a close bout with two-time U23 European champion Radik Valiev.[141] He topped Mohammad Nokhodi from Iran in the finals in order to capture the gold at the new weight class and become a five-time World Champion, cementing his legacy as one of the most accomplished American wrestlers of all time.[142]

In March, Burroughs made his first appearance of the year and swept the Yasar Dogu International field with four wins over foreign opponents to claim the gold medal.[152]

In April, Burroughs competed at the US Olympic Team Trials, and reached the finals of the challenge tournament after wins over Pan American champion Alex Facundo and U20 World champion Mitchell Mesenbrink.[153] Facing three-time NCAA champion Jason Nolf, Burroughs was defeated on points, ending his hopes of a run at the Summer Olympics.[154]

In September, Burroughs went back up to 79 kilograms, and competed at the US World Team Trials.[155] After first-day wins over NCAA champions Levi Haines and Alex Dieringer, Burroughs avenged losses to Chance Marsteller in the best-of-three finals to make his twelfth US World Team, and is now expected to compete at the World Championships in October.[156]

In October, Burroughs competed at the World Championships, though after wins over U20 World champion Zelimkhan Khadjiev from France and Magomet Evloev from Tajikistan, he was eliminated by three-time World medalist Mohammad Nokhodi from Iran.[157]

Personal life

[edit]

Burroughs is a Christian. He has spoken about his faith saying, "A gold medal is always going to leave you empty. ... There's no other thing in life that's more fulfilling than a relationship with Jesus Christ. Contentment is one of the biggest things I've learned, knowing that regardless of where you are in life, it's all about being content with God's provision."[158] Jordan is married to Lauren Burroughs (née Mariacher) and has four children, Beacon, Ora, Rise, and Banner.[159][160] Burroughs is a football fan and supports the Buffalo Bills.[161]

Burroughs has cross-trained with several high-profile figures from the MMA community over the years and has often been linked with making a move to the sport, but publicly explained on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that he had decided against doing so on account of his wife, Lauren, and a general concern for maintaining his health.[162]

In August 2024, he expressed support to Vinesh Phogat who was disqualified from the Paris Olympics and demanded the silver medal for her. [163]
