I feel like Sidakov, Ramonov and Kudukhov should be on here

He won at 86 in 2021 in that legendary junior worlds in russia where iran got 5 golds and won at 92 in 2022. I don't think he will go back down.

He lost to the weakest version of Snyder ever who just got off a plane from another wrestling event. I think that has to be it for Goleij. But I would like to see him wrestle Firouzpour in a battle of underhook, pushout and endless forward pressure specialists before he retires. What a matchup that would be.

Well, if the weight cut is too big then maybe there are a lot of people at 86 who can beat him.

He came third at the emperor's cup in December at 65. The winner and the runner up went to Albania but neither got a medal. He posted after winning junior asians at 61 that it would be his last time at that weight class. This is after Ono beat him for the junior world spot. I think he has lost to both Tanabe and Ogino in his past two tournaments at 65.

Ghasempour techs Akturk and is into the final. He didn't rub Akturk's head this time after the match, thankfully. For what it's worth regarding Ghasempour's weight - Babak, the Iranian wrestling instagram star and UWW commentator, says Ghasempour weighs around 92kg and that he thinks it's unlikely that he could wrestle 86.

Nishiuichi is at 65 now

Amouzad just isn't capable of getting much going against Japan, even against their lesser guys.

Seems he beat Aitmukhsn very easily

He's training with Otoguro's brother I believe, not Otoguro

Azimi beats Babaloooooo 5 - 4 to make the team for asian champs

To my knowledge he has not. He wrestled in the league at 86 and at that Iran vs Russia event but both those had a weight allowance. Both are these are recent. Outside of that I do not recall him entering anything at 86 since 2021. 86 has to be tempting for him going forward as he is basically guaranteed the spot domestically outside of a disastrous weight cut. At 92 he potentially has Yazdani who he has lost to many times and Firouzpour, who while he has beat comfortably in the past, seems like a miserable guy to wrestle against with his strength and endless forward pressure.

He has endless cardio but is a very bad starter is often behind big a minute into the match. He has won cadet and junior gold now so he has at least started his career well. Who knows if he can translate that into seniors. Unknown as of this point. He is entered for next week's Albania ranking tournament at 92kg. This is really 94kg with the weight allowance. He could have wrestled 88 if he wanted. If he is at 92 it is possible we have Yazdani, Firouzpour and Ghasempour all at 92. All 3 of these guys could win the weight at worlds. If I had to guess I would say Ghasempour will go to 86, but nothing is confirmed.

Elahi must sue

Yes. He must contact his lawyers and immediately sue the Iranian wrestling federation.
