... and paid the price for it. 

Pool system at the time. You could continue on after getting the tech if you wanted to try to get the pin for classification points (5 vs. 4) ... Saitiev had no intention of pinning this poor soul.

I was an athlete escort at those championships and walked out the Sengal for that match.  What's hard to see in the video is the smirk Satiev gave to his corner as he walked back to take par terre.  My thought was.......oh shit.     But even then I wasn't expecting 34 points.

How strong you have to be to neutralize every single angle with simple hand strength. A joy to watch. RIP great champion

Would be interesting to know what really happened to Saitiev. Even on his Wikipedia page the official word is he was sick and in and out of the hospital but his wife and witnesses claimed he fell out of a window?  Such a damn shame either way.  My favorite wrestler ever.

I was there that night for that match. That world championships was great. Iranians well represented in the stands, Cormier shoving dudes, Cael Sajidov, Cuban studs.  MSG.  Loved it.
