These videos need to be preserved before they are destroyed. The quality of this post is poor. And that is no reflection on whoever posted it - thank you for making it available everywhere! But these moments need to be preserved for posterity - not only for history's sake, not only for the sake of American Olympic sport, but most especially for the fact that we get to see one of the most beautiful exhibitions of pure wrestling skill that many kids and adults will ever see.

@thrashysludgebastard Wrestling has different rules, I will agree that Jiu Jitsu is better for grappeling but your comparing apples and oranges. Thats like saying, kickboxing is better then boxing because you can use your legs.

workout 7 hours a day 7 days a week. That's what major endurance and dedication gets you.

I don't know if maybe they were cut from a different cloth, but training 7 hours a day, everyday, is most definitely considered over training today. He's the best wrestler ever, but could you imagine what he would've accomplished if they were more verse back then in muscle recovery, and peaking?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is far more a better grappling technique than Wrestling. Sure you have control, but what's more dangerous cracked adam's apples, broken arms, broken achilles tendons or a pin on your back. the gracie brother's proved this by beating countless wrestling coaches and olympic medalist in fight's and ground grappling. plus you don't waste your energy.

dan gable has a heart of champion.

@easternhero255 FYI Cael is a very accomplished grappler. He trains with Ricky Lundell, a grappling world champion. Yes, GSP wins that match but not because Cael is not an accomplished grappler.

Wow what a piece of history. Incredible.
