Quest to be the Best
Team Quest Fighters to Battle for Spot on Greco Roman World Team
By Aaron Crecy

Henderson vs. Bosch

CINCINNATI–With two recent Pride victories and the 2000 RINGS King of Kings Championship on his impressive resume, Dan Henderson presently commands a far higher paycheck than fellow Team Quest fighter Matt Lindland. But Lindland has something that no amount of money can buy-a world medal in Greco Roman wrestling.

On Sunday, Henderson and Lindland will square off on Sunday in the Greco Roman World Team Trials at Xavier University to determine which man will represent the United States at 85 kilos (187.25 lbs.) in the World Championships on September 25 – 29, 2001. Henderson earned the right to face Lindland-the reigning National Champion-when he defeated Ethan Bosch in Saturday’s Challenge Tournament Finals, 8-0.

Henderson vs. Bosch
A win for Henderson means an opportunity to finally earn a medal in what would likely be his final wrestling competition. Henderson previously competed in the 1994 World Championships and the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games but did not place. For Lindland, it is a chance to better his performance at the 2000 Olympics, where he won the silver medal at 76 kilos (167.5 lbs.).

And the fact the World Championship tournament will be held on American soil in front of family, friends and countrymen at Madison Square Garden in New York City makes it a particularly meaningful competition for both wrestlers.

Henderson and Lindland will square off in a best-of-three series, with each match consisting of two three-minute rounds, and if needed, a three-minute overtime.

Henderson def. James Meyer (unattached) by technical fall, 11-0

Hughes, Lavender to clash
in Extreme Challenge 41

Chatt Lavender is looking for a challenge.
"I want to fight the best guys I can… to see where I stand," said the undefeated fighter from Dayton, Tenn.
Lavender (8-0) will get his wish on July 13 as he takes on hometown hero Matt Hughes (26-3) in the main event of Extreme Challenge 41. Hughes, a UFC, WEF, RINGS and Extreme Challenge veteran, is among the top 5 rated welterweights (170-under) in the world. He is trying to stay busy while negotiations to get him into Pride continue in Japan.
"Well, Hughes is definitely among the best out there," Lavender said. "I look at this as a great opportunity… a chance to see what level I’m at and where I need to improve."
Lavender is no stranger to tough fights. He owns wins over WEF star Karl Schmidt and UFC veteran LaVerne Clark.
"I’m looking forward to the fight," Hughes said. "I’ve been training hard and it’s good to test yourself… and Lavender is certainly a quality opponent."
Extreme Challenge 41 will take place at Stars & Stripes nightclub in Davenport, Iowa. The event begins at 7:30 p.m.
Also on the card are two high-level feature bouts. In the first, Jason Black (11-0) and Koji Lehman (4-0) square off in a battle of unbeatens. In the second, Rich Franklin (13-0) takes on Chris Seifert (17-2-2) in a heavyweight battle.
Also fighting are a pair of up-and-coming young fighters in 19-year-old Robbie Lawler (3-0) and 20-year-old Maorco Macera (3-1).
