No. Kickboxer/boxer and mma fighter.

In an attempt to keep my self sane and use some of the things I have to at work for a good cause I've set out to do some research on wrestling. I've been working with @Wrestleknownothing and @cowcards on some NCAA results, more on that later. But...the world championship previews and in particular the discussions of athletes that have moved across weight classes had me wondering how common that is? And who does it the most? And is there anything we can learn from it? I haven't yet answered those questions, but I manged to mangle together some results from UWW results ( ~8,000). I put them in a network connecting wrestlers by bouts and then ran some algorithms to group them. No surprise the clusters mostly aligned to weight classes. I need to dig a little deeper, but, I find the non olympic weights interesting to look at and see how those wrestlers have moved around over the years. https://medium.com/@mattgrogan/the-united-world-wrestling-graph-2018-2025-4f9e1f9119fe

Check out some of Tito's "greatest" speaking hits on YouTube. He's like a punch drunk Michael Scott - never knows where his sentence might lead after he starts it

Tito is hammered or just CTE?

Bo's haircut is a fail.. And I'm bald

No one should ever pick Dake. That's sacrilegious

we are so cooked at worlds

they don't know how to cut singlets for that yet...

Chael and JB or chael and Trent would be awesome, I thought Trent was phenomenal at NCAA's.

ok you guys are right i'm starting to want to strangle Jenkins or whoever that is

Anyone else getting Battlebots vibes?

i'm not sure if I hate the private boot licking more than the public....

this one knee stuff was fine when it was for starocci...against mcenelly i'm hoping he gets hit for stalling immediately.

His ability to get to legs contrasted with Angelos ability to extend positions with someone in on his legs truly makes for such an exciting matchup this upcoming season.

Hmmm... true dat! ... and keep that Baked Potato sir, well played. D3

Ha but let me say it this way - SIU Carbondale actually had zero D1 champs that year

I never even heard of Hiram and I have no idea where "Western State" is - sounds like a made up college for a National Lampoons flick. And being an IL native, the fact that SIU Carbondale had 3 D1 national champs is pretty damn mind blowing. Times have certainly changed in the college wrestling world.

Will all due respect AnklePicker, I think Mphillips is right, and you'd have a hard time convincing the rest of the world that Seniors isn't the litmus test. A couple of things . . . Hard to consider us the best wrestling country right now given our poor showing at 2024 Olympics...three total medals and no gold- the first time in 56 years. We finished 3rd (4th if you count Russia), so that doesn't equal best. And no golds in non-Olympic weights either. As OP suggested, I believe Jordan Burroughs was a catalyst for this recent "Golden Age." I was at Worlds in Budapest in 2013 for the dark days- when we only had one total world medal, a gold by Burroughs on a bum leg. At that point, he was USA Wrestling, and these kids now at U17/U20/U23 were grade schoolers who idolized him. I'm just as excited about this young crop as you (and everyone) are- I'm very hopeful that they can have the same impact in college and at the Senior level...time will tell, but we've never assembled this much talent at one time. It's exciting!

I think saying nothing is better than saying something that is nothing.

Well SIU Carbondale didn’t have 3 D1 champs…

So you can't defend your position and somehow you think this is a win. When you completely make up stuff there is nothing to discuss. I haven't bickered at all. I decisively and clearly called you a liar. Every claim. All you need to do is provide 1 exampl, but you can't. You simply are full of $h!+.

I believe Dale is originally from Wisconsin. The Cassioppi boys have always interested me because they are obviously very big but were light guys that are probably going to end up as pretty big guys which is generally a recipe for success.

Those aren't facts - both Obama and Biden deported quite a lot of people - more than what Trump did in his 1st term. And Biden raised the budget for border protection significantly. It was anything but "wide open"... that was just a talking point the Trump presidential campaign liked to use. Late in his term, Biden put together a comprehensive border protection plan that was supported by both R's and D's. But just before it came time to vote, Trump's presidential campaign encourage the R's to vote against it because they intended to use the border as a campaign topic -- and they didn't want Biden's administration to fix it. True story. Politics at its very worst.

Bahahahahahahhahahahahhaha. You’re a centrist. Bahahahahahahhahahahahah and a f ing liar

What’s happened in the past under other Presidents like Obama. Face it Biden and the wide open border was by design. Don’t get pissed at the person cleaning up his mess

It’s possible the cat has your tongue

Only kick out the illegal ones. Name one us citizen who was here legally and kicked out ?

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND. I'm a centrist. Neither a republican nor a democrat. Take your political leaning bullsh** somewhere else. I don't trust politicians in either party. Political party loyalty is for suckers like you.

Deportation is currently triggered by ICE agents needing to make the quotas that are set by the Trump administration. Doesn't matter if they zero civil or criminal offenses (which is the case for many.) Quotas demand deportations. Has little to nothing to do with law enforcement. Just meeting mush brain's targets.

Something like 70% of the illegals Obama deported didn’t commit any additional crimes on top of being here illegally. The outrage on the left is nothing more than I don’t like the giant orange man.

That really shouldn't matter. He was on campus, using facilities, under Cael and the accusations that these shenanigans were also going on when he was a student.

People who portray themselves as the age you do don’t say “let’s go!!!!”

It’s in the title of “illegal alien”. I underlined it for you.

Thanks for the soft ball.

Yeah 65 is an actual mess in terms of predicting who is going to win it every year. I think it also has do to with the fact that the vast majority of countries can field top level guys at that weight class. Compare that to 57 or 125 where the number of elite guys is far less purely due to genetics. It is very unlikely you will find an elite 125 from Japan or an elite 57 from Iran because of that. I also think there is a lot of parity because its pretty much impossible to prep for 8-10 high level guys for a worlds/olympics. Olympics last year had Muszukaev, Dudaev, Amouzad, Retherford, Kiyooka, Rivera, Aliyev, Ochir, Akmataliev and Tevanyan. More than half of the guys in the bracket were world/olympic medalists. That's just stupid depth. So a little under performance in one match can cost you a medal. I think this is where the Russian guys benefit the most because of how nuts their brackets are domestically they are used to it so they better navigate through. Whereas in Iran and US there isn't as much depth domestically so our guys aren't as used to these sort of brackets.

Did he get kicked off? And is now back with a new name and pretending he's someone else? Weird.

Definitely Fadzaev. Dude dominated 65kg for a decade straight, winning World/Olympic gold from '83 to '92. The only year in there he missed was '84 due to boycott. No one since has come close to that. The most recent streak is likely Gevorgyan from Armenia who won world gold consecutively in '95, '97 and '98, but placed 5th in 1996 Olympics, losing to our very own Townsend Saunders in the semis, effectively breaking his streak. Crazy to think that's been almost 30 years ago...Yikes!

Boy, you Moo's sure can party!

Low class poster.

I'm not sure how much you have watched Zepeda wrestle. . .when Zepeda is in shape and motivated, he is capable of beating anyone in this age group. I look at this as a quality win for Stanich, regardless of the score.

Ryan Sullivan who started his career in 2020 at Pittsburgh as a redshirt then transferred to West Virginia for his first year of eligibility where he was a NQ at 133. He didn't wrestle during the 2022 or 2023 seasons. He wrestled for Clarion in 2024 at 141 as a starter with a solid record but did not qualify. He did not wrestle in 2025, and now he joins George Mason as the projected starter at 141.

Colin Young from Oklahoma State to Northern Illinois Ali Adel from Harper College to Northern Illinois Both projected as starters

I'm also bad at 'rithmetic and have no idea what that means, but I'm fairly sure it has something to do with stalling

You do not need to pay to read it. I don't pay and I can read it.

Oh well.

The best response would be to disappear for ever...
