Over the course of his more than two-decade career, he has won 28 world titles, according to NFL Network.<\/p>\n<p>The older Bagent became interested in arm wrestling while serving in the Marines in the 1960s and 1970s. He later built two clubs in West Virginia where arm wrestling matches were held: The Big Arm in Shepherdstown and Billy Jack&#8217;s in Charles Town.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Travis Bagent, father of Chicago Bears rookie QB <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tysbagent?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tysbagent<\/a> , did a 10\/10 arm-wrestling promo with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomPelissero?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TomPelissero<\/a> prior to Sunday\u2019s game and it was electric. \u26a1\ufe0f <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bagent is a 28-time world champion arm-wrestling with a microphone presence to match. <br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jcQTt76U7o\">pic.twitter.com\/jcQTt76U7o<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Alex Xaviel (@SnakeDraftViper) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SnakeDraftViper\/status\/1716556492839567496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Bagent&#8217;s reputation rose as he proceeded to participate in arm wrestling competitions.

Given that the proprietor of the CrossFit facility is 6-3 and weighs 265 pounds, the nickname makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Bagent&#8217;s skill in arm wrestling has allowed him to make a good living out of a pastime. In 2016, he informed Cobb that he was earning between $500,000 and $1 million by participating in tournaments, organizing expos, and officiating them; prior to that, it was only &#8220;a $25,000 annual situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Travis Bagent the \ud83d\udc10\ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffe\ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffe\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hJd572ykHo\">https:\/\/t.co\/hJd572ykHo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jason McKie (@Jmack37) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jmack37\/status\/1717003333821460966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 25, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s part of what made him develop into what he considers to be one of the all-time great arm wrestlers.<\/p>\n<p>Travis Bagent continues to compete in arm wrestling on the professional circuit these days but with fewer world championship appearances than in the past.
