Another fun event…
Yoel missing definitely took some the shine off…
The main event was silly…
But Dake and Kadik was straight fire… that is not the end score over seas…

I do. If he didn’t flap his gums so much I would agree. But that boy runs his mouth about how good he is and how he was going to fuck yoel up…he should back it up over 3 kilos in my opinion. Or just keep his mouth shut, one or the other.

i read the offered him Downey who weighed the same and Bo said no..Maybe a non title match would have been good ..Yoel though was completely un proffesional weighing in 7 pounds heavy Thats rediculous..

@GuttyProfessor what did you think of the event from in the building?
obviously there are a bunch of anonymous nerds talking shit throughout the wrestlingsphere, but, that is the anonymous nerds only real function in life…
obviously, the event stumbled off the scale, but, watching at home i felt the pacing was the best so far…

The mat looks like a college girls bathroom mirror.
i really wish desanto had stuck to greco… he could have snuck on a team at 63kg…
i do not see him ever making a team in free…
true psycho…

there is no doubt for both…
and graff did make a team when he was 30, so, there is still hope…

The event had good production value. Good fan engagement. Chael was actually a solid MC. Matches got good responses. The Ligo bout, DeSantis, Valencia, Dake, and Mocco matches were excellent. They really need some form of in match commentary. Right now, the operating assumption seems to be that everyone there understands the scoring system which worked fine for many, but there was also a lot of people who were pretty lost as to the scoring system and the calls. Overall, was a good and fun event, fair prices, great venue for it. I’d absolutely go again.
One thing for guys like you and me who are die hard…they need a better match-maker. Also, and I can’t even believe I’m saying this, but they should have at least one women’s bout per card because if wrestling is going to survive, they need to bring in a broader fan base. Oh- one more thing. I love the FS, but they could also have Greco Divisions. It would be an excellent way to develop the Greco Senior team and also to expose the US audience to the most popular style on a global scale.

I remember when we disagreed about this. Welcome to the “other side”, brother.
well, i was glad to be proven wrong, but, ultimately it didn’t matter because he gave up…
there were some outside influences that impacted that decision that if different might have extended the experiment, but, whatever…
i texted the boys after watching the pre-event presser and they are talking about reaching out and trying to get a match…
we will see if anything comes of it…
i did see joe warren was at Doc B pushing greco opportunities for some leg grabbers…
i will remain eternally hopeful greco gets some traction in this country…

im not sure Luke Rockhold understood the rules He kept exposing his back I think they gave him a few breaks or maybe rules modified
Arman looked very good Id like to see him against better competition..Palmer at one time was pretty good ,.He was excellent in HS and good in college

to be fair, he was at least 30lbs heavier and knew enough wrestling to hang on the front head and just out muscle palmer…
but, i would not mind seeing him against someone a little closer in size…

what did Arman weigh ? he fights at 155 Palmer fights at a heavier weight i think
what i saw was he just had no tools to stay off his back…
muscle memory just took over trying to stop the leg attacks in the only way he knows how…
he weighed in at 175ish…
palmer said in an interview recently he walks lower then the 155 weight class…
