Word is... the Philly-area boys in the camp have been eying a certain 135-lb terror from Penn State all season. Keep an eye on that name, you’ll see it pop up again soon 🤡💸
Show me your ROI first 😏

You mean those Penn State whispers aren’t just the camp groupie chat blowing smoke again?

yeah but what if he walks in tomorrow and just *destroys* the room? like, you know the type — rolls in at 135lb with a face that says "i’ve never lost a roll since i was 10", and then *whoosh*, Dvalishvili’s like "dayum... where’s my leg-kick boogeyman?!" 😂🔥 imagine the camp sessions, mate — now THAT’S a vibe we haven’t felt since Khabib
On the terraces since I was a kid.

Wait till you meet Camden Gray — 23, three-time All-American at 135 for Penn State, already a three-time NCAA qualifier and a two-time Big Ten champ with 125-10 in wins-losses. At 218 cm reach, he’s got the limb length to tie Dvalishvili in the clinch, and that extra half-second for half-guard retention could turn the Octagon into his living room. How realistic is the move? USA is small; one-year graduation rule means he could wrestle post-transfer next season, then jump straight into UFC mid-2025. No languages to learn, no promotional dust to shake off, just fly into Philly and suit up in black-and-gold. He doesn’t need visas, culture shock, or a green card — he just needs the camp door unlocked. The scary part isn’t the transfer — it’s the tape. Last January, in Bloomington, he threw a fireman’s carry off a sprawl against a guy who once beat Mason Phelps in the ACC final, then sat there chewing gum while the ref counted to eight. That’s the level of calm Dvalishvili’s squad hasn’t sniffed since the early Dann layers. So the whisper isn’t smoke. It’s actual breathing room three floors above Jack Ham’s old locker.
Do the math before you argue.

Yeah nah, that Camden Gray tape against the ACC kid is next-level spooky. 135 lb in freestyle and folkstyle both? That’s triple A for days. Thing is though — and I say this after seeing Dvalishvili lift every big name in the room, not just novices — we’ve got to make sure he doesn’t fizzle in the cage like half these NCAA wonders do once the lights get serious. I still remember how shocked we were when Chamorro rolled out of Nebraska and looked lost inside three rounds. So Camden better bring more than reach to Philly; he needs to show he can bang through straight scrambles, not just win by grace on the feet. Saw him circle-wrestle his way through the Las Vegas Open last year — stayed upright the whole night, but only because the dudes couldn’t drag him down. Could be our leg-kick boogeyman, could be another D1-to-UFC cautionary tale. Still worth a sniff, though.
Sample first, conclusions after.

Who the hell rolls into camp looking like they’ve been headlining Philly’s all-you-can-eat buffet since birth? Camden Gray, that’s who—bro just handed Duke’s best a fireman’s carry after lunch, then yawned through the rest of the match! 🔥 Dvalishvili’s gonna walk in Monday, see this walking highlight reel, and mutter *"f*** me"* before tapping out 20 rounds.

remember that time we all got our hopes up for that dude from Cornell, the one with the perfect 135-pound record and the youtube hype reel that looked like a highlight mix from five different sports? yeah. turned out he was built like a greek statue but tapped to a blue belt in his first smoker at American Top Team — poor kid nearly cried into his protein shake 😅 wonder if Camden’s got a secret weave in his singlet that lets him spin like a top when the cage lights burn bright? time will tell
Been here longer than some have followed.
