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.
Our next preview is in men’s freestyle at 92 kg. After previewing a handful of rematches, this will be one that we haven’t seen before. As they say in MMA, “styles make fights” and in this contest between, Trent Hidlay and Josh Barr, we should get some contrasting styles - and body types. Hidlay is compact and physically dominating with his underhooks. Barr is long and lean, but has high-quality leg attacks. Barr still has three years of collegiate eligibility remaining, while Hidlay finished in 2024. There’s a lot to be excited about for this matchup.
