From the beginning Jeff Dabe's life story is a tale of epic proportions, leading him to become an arm wrestling champion.
"My favorite is this one and the belt I won from Canada, but ended up losing – that was a good belt too," Dabe told FOX 9’s Maury Glover."It's kind of cool, kind of fun. I never really worried about the titles before – it was just fun to do, but to have it and say I have a world title is kind of nice," Dabe said.
"I beat all the kids and then all the adults, and I kind of got hooked on it… Talked me into going to all the tournaments," said Dabe. "I wasn't sure about getting back into it at 48 [years old]. They ended up talking me into competing. I ended up winning and beating the guy who had the Minnesota title, so I was drawn right back into it," Dabe said.
"It was a very satisfying moment for me," Dabe said. "Me and my wife Gina enjoy the traveling part and meeting nice people… We are hooked into the traveling part as much as the arm wrestling." "Some are kind of amazed, shocked. But the people who know me for a while, they think oh, it’s just Jeff," he said.
