Tough match for Zain. Loses 3-3. Dude was strong.
That match will definitely help Zain in his preparation for Worlds.
Per the Intermat forum, Snyder pinned Sadulaev.
Akmataliev is ranked 2nd in FLO’s international rankings. Zain is 4th. I’m really happy that Zain had this match and got a feel for him. The more matches Zain can get before worlds the better I think. He will continue to get better each time out
Sadulaev got hurt. It sounds like he was ahead 4-3 in the 3rd before Snyder got in deep on a low level attack. Sadulaev hurt his knee trying to defend. Here a video of the finish

Fun match. I’m not sure how Sad got 4 on that chest wrap. In regular freestyle scoring I think it would’ve been 2 for Sadulaev and 1 for Kyle. I know Sadulaev has incredible defense but a takedown looked imminent before he got hurt. Kyle finishing with his head on the knee was super smart. No way for Sadulaev to get his hips back or go chest wrap from that position. Lots of cold spray was being applied so I’m assuming Sad will be just fine. Joking aside, I sure hope it’s nothing serious and we get round 7 between these 2 at worlds
This is the only source I've seen report this, but if confirmed, HELL YEAHH!! I think we've all been waiting for this one.
DAMN!!!! Jordan certainly isn't just doing a ceremonial retirement lap...
How can Mitchell compete if Kennedy Blades had to leave Iowa to? I guess it’s that by-the-book Hawk compliance officer?
Over under on sock adjustments by JB?
Turns out Belal beat Ben in the only way possible…Ben gassing out. Watching his recovery over the last year, I was impressed Ben was able to hang in the pocket, use some old guy upper body stuff and hand fight for 4 minutes like he did. Unfortunately doing that for 2 more minutes was too much of an ask. Still couldn’t be more impressed with the fact that he got back on the mat at all, pretty amazing!
Have to admit, I am a huge wrestling fan, but really haven"t paid much attention to RAF. I watched the whole card last night and was very impressed! Nice blend of different types of competitors! Not a big follower of women's wrestling, but that Yepez was something else! I am now excited about RAF!
"Real Tarzan" vs "Larry Wheels" sounds like a South Philly teenage spat settled in the parking lot after school.
Ono vs. Davino? Excited for that!
Jason in Austin. He's grappling and coaching youth wrestling.
Bo is in State College. Is at the afternoon practice every day apparently.
I said I was done with RAF after the latest brawl but Ono/Davino is going to test my resolve.
The brawls suck and I could do without the mma/influencer matches but every card has had truly elite matches as well. Snyder/Sad, Ono/Davino, all the Nolf matches, etc. Fire matches we wouldn’t get outside of RAF so I’m definitely supporting them
