2026 UWW Men's Freestyle World Championships Discussion

[Gus]

Bassett's pace is unreal! Kid is an absolute stud. 

[LJB]

tip of the cap to Bassett...

crazy...

[Doublehalf]

Holy hell I can't believe that... I loveee that Tevanyan just got schooled, dude is such a dbag it seems like. 
 

I'll eat my words on all the Bassett wrestling criticism, his style indeed is good enough to win a world title.

Absolutely insane and with the worlds best all in the bracket.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Absolutely incredible. How funny would it be if he lost twice to Stanich in the first month of the college season

[bnwtwg]

And just like that every 141 in the NCAA has decided to bump up

[nhs67]

I am heavily interested in the 97 KG match between the 2016 74 KG and 2024 97 KG Olympic champions.

[LemonPie]

Generational fumble by Tom Brands!

well done, Bo!

Regular reminder that freestyle =/= folkstyle.

Amouzad's stance is something we Americans have not figured out how to penetrate.

For real Amouzad legs hard to get on but with this insane pace from Bo everyone melts.  Unless he got countered and that's what abbasghadzi did and was 1 point away from teching bo !!!

I'll take the gold medalist over the bronze medalist but maybe that's just recency bias

Hi I just wanted to take a moment to say that after a two decade drought was finally broken by johnny d WE ARE SO BACK AT 65KG

Pace doesn't care about style though...

I'll take Bo too. Specially that Amouzad has endurance problems .

[LemonPie]

A couple of years ago, I really thought Jax would be a 70/74.  A real shame we don’t have enough weight classes for everyone.  But I guess Russia has been dealing with that problem for years.  Maybe Seidel can get up to 70 eventually.

Sadulaev wrestling for bronze is so weird.

[Simpleman424]

 

[LJB]

clearly, Sadulaeuv is not quite as washed as so many claimed very recently...

[Gus]

Yazdani beats Taz - pushing him around with the patented underhook

[bnwtwg]

Yazdani wins the Battle of Double Shoulder Surgeries by way of 5 pushouts to 0.
I still can't take him serious wrestling up at 215 with a mom butt though lol

[LJB]

nice moment for Yaz and Sad teams to come together for that photo op...

[peanut]

The USA’s had little luck at 65kg for almost 20 years (IIRC). But Bo got it done. Congrats!

Only a fool would say he is washed. Most people were picking him to win, myself included.

That's not the way to beat Yazdani. Thazudinov first and only shot in the last 20 sec. He got outmuscled by a smaller and probably washed Yazdani.  Weird ,I remember in 2023 Thazudinov looked unbeatable.
