American style is folkstyle which puts them at a big disadvantage internationally.

Cael's arms are so long he hits that ankle pick from a mile out. There's no defense against it.

USA cannot even see surpassing Iran in dreams.

Ah, you can hear the Iranians in the background blowing those silly horns and chanting I-ran. I remember that from the 96 Olympics in Atlanta...

@888zzz Agreed, the only time I can wrestle freestyle or greco is in the spring/summer :/

@steckwrestling yes because so many international wrestlers compete in MMA.. you have a couple international american wrestlers and a couple college wrestlers.. Not many wrestlers fighting in mma from countries who are dominate in wrestling. Hes right folkstyle does put you at a disadvantage on the international stage because you aren't brought up from 5 wrestling greco or freestyle unless you do off-season tourns

His ankle picks wouldn't work against yazdani just watch williams try.

@ 888zzz if american folkstyle is so bad why do we do so well at so many events? All of our wrestler's start there and branch to freestyle or greco. especially now days with MMA the trends show that wrestlers, american in particular, rise to the top. i take pride in being an american folkstyle wrestler and i certainly enjoy watching all my buddies win. have a nice day.

cael pretty much broke him with those ankle picks and then took his lunch money lol.
