I think a national level tournament in a country that is a strong wrestling power, like the yarygin, is ironically likely to be even more competitive than most international competitions; since there are more spots open for killers who might not be making the world team for their country, that are not earmarked for teams from other parts of the globe that might not be as strong.
Any MMA fighters place in Yarygin? I know Cormier did one year but have there been any others?
