If Tsabolov is the reason we don't see Dake vs Sidakov. I'll be delighted, but very disappointed at the same time. Love his style, but want the match

Kurbanov is the better "Wrestler" but He's "up" in weight, and the size and athleticism of Parris should level the playing field.

Think NoodleArmy vs Usmanov will be a match or a slaughter?

Good effort from Zane Rich. @ILLINIWrestlingBlog I'm sad its over

You mean, you think Abakarov sees Uguev for Bronze after Micic puts that sauce on him

European Championships 2022 Budapest 79 kg 2023 Zagreb 79 kg European U23 Championships 2022 Plovdiv 79 kg 2023 Bucharest 79 kg 2021 Skopje 74 kg European Juniors Championships 2021 Dortmund 79 kg World Cadets Championships 2018 Zagreb 60 kg

He's been winning and placing high at Euros for a few years, I think he won U23s or u20s or something . He's been in the mix for a bit now, let me google

What do you think on Zahid vs Nurmagomedov

He's clearly getting more and more comfortable. I'm pretty pumped for that final

lol Win a war, only to wrestle Nurmagomedov next. Thoughts on that one? I'm skeptical, but gotta stay hopeful

It's really obvious when you think about it

Zahid channeling his inner Sidakov, no lead is safe

Horrible draw, if he makes the finals, what a tough section for bronze. Also Valiev strugglin against Japan

In other news, the other matches up right now are absolute bangers

I spoke too soon, a trailing Zahid tends to quit. I hope he guts this out

I love when Zahid stays busy, an attacking Zahid is tough to deal with

Abakarov looked beastly

Higuchi vs whoever in the finals will be excellent

Lot of pressure, 1st worlds, you got a draw where you're supposed to make the semis. Hopefully he loosens up because next match will be tougher.

Thoughts on Zahid. Does he come out like a savage? Do we hate that Azarpira had a warm up match? Does he take a page out of his other book and gas as soon as the 1 minute mark approaches? I think HE WINS BY 3!

Chandler Shane starting out in a street fight, hopefully somehow fuels a positive mindset moving forward

Saying it with a country accent makes you smile. Also, I'm so glad his draw let's him have some "adjustment" matches before he has to go out and pull a Burroughs-Level upset

Very similar..... haha you know he's dropping this, immediately

Sounds like a pretty good morning. Hopefully the library has an open bar . ZR wrestled about as good as he could wrestle, just a little short. Tough draw regardless. Only going to get 1 match, but solid one there

Valencia holds a lead about as good as.... *Insert something that is held poorly *
