Fight Path: Whether breaking horses or opponents, Laramie Shaffer credits focus for success

Most people, from the moment he stepped into the cage as an amateur, expected Laramie Shaffer to be a wrestler.

He was a wrestler, of course. By that time, about two years ago, he had become one of the most successful high school wrestlers in Iowa's storied history in the sport. Then he had wrestled at Iowa State, a respected college program.

But when he got in the cage, he used the same confidence and swagger he learned breaking ponies and horses as a summer job in his rural community and did what people didn't expect.
