Benji Mower discusses cancer diagnosis on Baschamania
Justin Basch shared a support link for Mower and his family, and Chael Sonnen pushed it out to his own audience.
Oklahoma State's Benji Mower went on Baschamania to talk about a recent cancer diagnosis. Justin Basch announced the episode on X, writing that he was "Grateful to have Oklahoma State's Benji Mower on @baschamania tonight as we discuss his positive perspective through a recent cancer diagnosis," and he included both a link to the show and a link to support Mower and his family.
Grateful to have Oklahoma State's Benji Mower on @baschamania tonight as we discuss his positive perspective through a recent cancer diagnosis.
Chael Sonnen followed with a short post of his own. "Stud. He needs help. We are here," Sonnen wrote. Basch later reposted the support link with a two word caption, "Love to see it."
Love to see it.
What the sources do and do not say
Basch's post is the only description of the conversation itself, and it frames the episode around Mower's outlook rather than any medical specifics. Neither Basch nor Sonnen gave details about the diagnosis, a treatment plan or a timeline, and nobody has said anything about Mower's wrestling status at Oklahoma State. No source attaches a dollar figure to what the support link has raised, so anything about the total would be a guess.
What is visible is the reach. Sonnen is not a folkstyle account, and his post put the same link Basch shared in front of an audience well outside the college wrestling timeline. Basch's "Love to see it" repost came after that, which is the closest thing in the sources to a read on how the response has gone.
For readers who want the full conversation, it is the Baschamania episode Basch linked in his post, and the support link for Mower and his family sits in the same tweet.
Stud. He needs help. We are here.
