Fix on full feed looks like a different guy. Can't wait to see a rematch with RBY.

He looked just as big, if not bigger to me last year during the college season(especially his boulder shoulders lol), than he does right now. He’s had a great gut for awhile now. Doesn’t do him any good in folk tho.

Great cadet rematch for gold six years in the making lol. Should be a lot of action.

How do we feel about the Yazdani match? Thought he looked good against Naifonov. Should be another barn burner.

I don't think he looked like he had a ton of energy at NCAAs last year and he had to make 125 scratch two weeks later. He looked flat against Desanto and really had nothing for RBY. That was as one-sided as an OT match gets.

Then he looked flat at the trials too. You bring up freestyle stuff, but he hasn't been hitting guts or leg attacks on anybody good in freestyle for the last 2-3 years at 57 kg either. Now it's all back. I think he's just at the right weight class. He'll always look "big" because he's a little bowling ball, but the energy level/explosiveness eye test is there for me.

Yazdani is welcome to get his hopes up. :)

Fix looks scary good. Sure seems like he has jumped levels in FS the past few months. It will be interesting (and a bit scary) if he's able to translate that into folk this season. If so, he'll be a difficult out for everyone.

js again with the subtle, backhanded jab at a PSU wrestler. If you weren’t paying attention you’d miss the trolling entirely.
