Yoshida just beat Snyder in the uww ranking event.
15:25: Arash YOSHIDA (JPN) has done it! He
beats Kyle SNYDER (USA) in the semifinals at
97kg. Yoshida, who seems small for 97kg
was in all sorts of trouble for five minutes
and 30 seconds of the match. The match
saw Snyder score a takedown on the edge
and as Yoshida was trying to sneak out of
the hold, Snyder scored a pushout, all while
Yoshida was on activity time. Snyder led 4-C
before giving up a stepout. Both wrestler
continued the pressure in the second period
but Snyder's strength and positioning didn't
let Yoshida get his on his attacks. However,
Yoshida managed to get a cut-back and a
turn to lead 5-5 on criteria with 30 seconds
on the clock. Despite Snyder's efforts,
Yoshida managed to remain in contact and
not get scored on. A stunning win for the
Yoshida.
