Well, that you went ahead and compared the UFC, a for-profit entity worth billions, to USA Wrestling, a non-profit national governing body under the auspices of the US Olympic Committee, shows that you really aren't educated on the subject matter. No worries, I'll help you out. USA Wrestling has at its disposal the money and resources to fully invest in this nation's Greco-Roman program and thus improve athlete retention and training. But even though they have it, they do not invest said resources, choosing instead to pocket the rest and spend it on other, less important issues. That's #1, in a nutshell. #2, the athlete in the video, during his career (which is now over, actually) averaged around five months of living overseas each of the past five years in order to train with the best wrestlers in the sport. So to say that he did not put money or effort or attitude into the cause is, of course, laughably incorrect. But you didn't know all that and went ahead to comment anyway. Solid work!

@Thforklift126: It’s the point tho that they shouldn’t be forced to give anyone money. With the money he makes he could open a gym and teach them himself.

What do you mean by your statement exactly? Because if you watched the video, it should be pretty clear why the US struggles in Greco, and it is not due to experiencing a dearth of capable, devoted athletes.

@@Thforklift126 I never said it was the athlete's it's just that the US doesn't seem to be interested in GR wrestling

it is… but the U.S. doesn’t fund US Greco like they do US Men’s & Women’s freestyle or even folkstyle.

The hard thing is getting into the throw as you’re being punched and kicked

@@cyntrixta1884 when u have an over under or double unders you can’t really get punched

But you can get punched getting into the unders

@@cyntrixta1884 you can but you won’t feel anything due to adrenaline. The one fight I got in I took some shots getting close but once I got a hold of them it was done

USA guy lost on the tie in this match to an eventual 2020 bronze medalist. grow up.

@@raweriio3306 I am guessing you didn't watch the roadside robbery that was this guy's "Wins" over Rau at trials? This guy never does anything in his matches [only ever scoring points on pushouts], and relies upon the good graces of Marine referees to get him anywhere. It's you that needs to grow up, and smell the corruption that is leaking out of USAW's backside. Only children can afford to ignore corruption. Are you a child?

@@raweriio3306 All I can say is, thank God that referee wasn't a marine or the eventually 2020 bronze medalist wouldn't have had a chance.

@@consciousstream5036 I thought you were saying it was a joke because of his skill level. I have trained with joe. I didnt know about the officiating thst happended at trials. Pure bulllshit. Thanks for telling me about it.

@@raweriio3306 Sorry. I didn't mean to be so rude. Joe is such a stand up guy, and seeing him get robbed like this just hurts.
