2025 Final X Preview: 53 kg WFS Brianna Gonzalez vs. Felicity Taylor

It’s about that time! In the past couple of weeks, we’ve spent time loosely discussing Final X; however, it’s time to start talking about the individual matches themselves. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll break down all 20 Final X matchups - leading into the event itself on June 14th, from Newark, New Jersey. 

In our next women’s freestyle preview, we’ll look at a matchup that seems impossible to call? Why? Because, they are very familiar with each other as ex-collegiate teammates and they’ve both beaten each other, multiple times. There is the experience factor for Felicity Taylor who has been under the bright lights at Final X before; however, Brianna Gonzalez is riding the wave of an incredible showing at the US Open.
