    Snyder, Cox, and Burroughs all get gold at Yasar Dogu. Cox out scored everyone 42-0. Does anyone know why Chamizo forfeited the championship match with Burroughs? Some people are saying it’s because he’s injured and he’s already locked up the #1 seed for worlds?

    At this point I think a world team made of US seconds would beat everyone but Russia. Especially with only Olympic weights. There are going to be some tough match ups to make the 2020 US team

    Gordon Ryan vs werdum cjj...

    Vinny and Josh Barnett are the other two in this four man tournament. I would love for it to be a round robin because all of these matchups are intriguing.

    Aaron Pico posted on instagram with his old wrestling coach and Frank Cahmizo and it said “first day” with a wrestling emoji. Is he starting a return to the mats?

    question for the super knowledgeable amateur wresting fan

    It looks like Randleman never competed in any or much Freestyle. Either they didn’t have much or any freestyle in Sandusky Ohio in the 80s or as one of 11 brothers and sisters and having his own son at 17 he didn’t have an opportunity to go to the big tournaments. Then after being academically...

    Conor's steamrolls entire LW division outside Khabib

    I don’t know about everyone else here but I’m not saying Conor can’t hang with these guys and would get killed. I disagree with OP that Conor would run through the lightweight division easily. Conor could win some of these and lose some of these.

    Conor's steamrolls entire LW division outside Khabib

    Honestly I would be surprised if he fought twice in 2019. I guess if he doesn’t get an immediate rematch I see him fighting once and then fighting for the title again.

    Conor's steamrolls entire LW division outside Khabib

    Kevin Lee might get dropped but he also didn’t get knocked out by a Barbosa headkick. Lee can beat him. Ferguson gets dropped but has never been knocked out. Conor could beat Nate because he hasn’t fought in two years but it would be close again. I think Conor beats Cowboy though.

    Mark Coleman, Mark Kerr, Kevin Randleman, Steve Mocco, Cole Konrad, Josh Koscheck, Johny Hendricks, and Darrion Caldwell all also won NCAA championships. Randy Couture lost to Mark Kerr in the finals. Yoel Romero had two Olympic appearances and won a silver in one. Matt Lindland won a silver in...

    NCAA wrestling returns this week. Who and what is everyone excited for this season? Coon and Snyder are both gone so heavyweight opens up. Gable Stevenson as a freshman should be interesting to watch. Tanner Hall should be interesting too. Penn St is still the team to beat with Bo, Nolf...

    Revisiting the "World Class" Wrestler Label

    That is a worthwhile addition to the conversation. And there is nothing as grueling as the NCAA D1 wrestling season. So with that the fighters who won a NCAA championship but never had a ton of international experience are Brock Lesnar, Phil Davis, Koshceck, Kevin Randleman, Jake Rosholt, and...

    Damn. That sucks. I grew up near Ann Arbor and am a Michigan fan in general and have become a big Adam Coon fan in wrestling. The silver lining is it's USA's first Greco medal in years and he is just 23 years old. I imagine he'll try to make an olympic run in 2020. I wonder if will try to...

    Revisiting the "World Class" Wrestler Label

    I guess it is all relative to how we are assigning these labels. We can all agree that the top whatever in the world that can beat each other on any given day are world class. And that anyone who has wrestled in high school is average compared to someone who is untrained. However I don't...

    Revisiting the "World Class" Wrestler Label

    After reading more about Trigg's career (mostly small snippets in old wrestling results websites) I am fine with him being called world class. Sounds like he was 3rd (or 4th?) in the 2000 Olympic trials and 5th in the 2001 WTT. And for Usman I didn't realize he spent two years at the USOTC. I...
