ESPN and UFC have a nice fat partner$hip and therefore Cormier is essentially an ESPN employee via his contractual obligations to event attendance. It doesn't hurt that Cormier is a great ambassador to both sports from a PR perspective. So agreed he is not the best color commentator, but it's reasonable to understand why he was there. And he was at least better than some of the past years. Rock & Robles though plz

Alan Waters approves this message

Cam Caffey, Wyatt Hendrickson, Zach Elam, and any Illinois kids + Fighting Illini

The people demand Rock and Robles!

You take that common sense and you put it in the garbage can right now!

Accurate and a travesty if it happens. Nothing like punishing the second best wrestler because they have the misfortune of losing to the #1 wrestler. Le sigh

That hasn't stopped Daton Fix...

Absolutely not Russian propaganda and I’m genuinely offended you would imply that. I’m simply saying we shouldn’t be throwing stones in glass houses because time and again US athletes have been proven to be just as guilty. It’s simply a difference of state-ordained vs. privatized doping industries.

Alberto Salazar, Jordan Oliver, and Daton Fix are from the most recent quad. Salazar led the middle and long distance Nike Oregon Project and I’ll let you do two seconds of googling to figure out how that was or was not top-down for the middle and long distance men’s and women’s teams.

Alberto Salazar is a great example of “from the top.” Some individuals off the top of my head: Marion Jones Bowerman Burrito Track Club US wrestlers busted: Daton Fix Kevin Randleman Jordan Oliver The Greco guys last year

Yeah let’s not go throwing stones into glass houses. Americans cheat, they just have much better technology and advanced doping systems to not caught, or at least avoid getting caught for a longer period of time. The only difference is that because America is privatized, it cannot technically be “state-led” but I can guaran-damn-tee it’s coming down straight from the top. I know this for a very good fact. At least (or maybe the problem is??) our wrestlers haven’t popped for the really good stuff and are too busy wasting their time with adderal and weight cutters.

This is a very serious shitpost and can only be taken literally

Gilman is in a real pickle… Spencer Lee has GOATed him out of the 57 spot. He also just got teched off the mat by a no-name at 61. Maybe he moves up to 65?

That's because armbar tilts are worth 4 points but freestyle exposures are only worth 2. It's simple math that adds up to Gilman packing on muscle to compete at his new weight class.

You're telling me that a 4x and returning world medalist is not scared of a college wrestler with exactly one senior tournament's worth of experience? I don't buy it. He reads these message boards and knows Spencer Lee is inevitable.

Going up a weight in the off-season can only mean one thing: Gilman, a former Duckeye, is ducking Spencer Lee.

He doesn't have the gas tank to fix his mullet after the first period

Finally catching up. MFS - McKenna needs to either get a haircut or quit shaking his head every 10 seconds. It’s the championship match of a senior rankings tourney and every detail counted.

I recommend using SpotHero. You can type "Tulsa BOK Center" which will generate parking results for Big 12s and NCAAs (and the Harlem Globetrotters and Journey w/ Toto, etc.). You can then click results to choose parking by the hour/session/day/etc. Guarantees you a spot + likely less than/equal to standard rates. Some are street, some are garage, some are private. Can't confirm what types because I have never stayed in Tulsa and I plan to keep that streak alive.

Switzerland came in as the 33 seed with a record of 0-0 but everyone knew they were the absolute best when choosing neutral

Focus has been waiting

Gable Stevenson revels in embarrassing Mason Parris at every stop, and therefore will be announcing he is coming out of retirement and burning his covid-shirt. Twitter melts down, Tulsa rejoices, Vince McMahon pushes for him to be the first to simultaneously hold the Olympic-NCAA-WWE heavyweight belts.

Real Chicagoans eat tavern style (thin crust) pizza. Only tourists and business clients go for deep dish. Vito & Nicks and Barnaby's come to mind. But if you do make the decision to ruin your waistline, Lou Malnati's is the best deep dish.

McKee dominates the championship bracket in the greatest plot twist since The Sixth Sense
