Cael Sanderson v. Sajid Sajidov

[@Nickthemonkey163]

Wow! I have never seen Cael lose like that, but my goodness was that an awesome match even though it didn't produce a U.S. victory. The judges certainly screwed up that 2-2 call though. Should have just been 2 for the Russian.

[@grawakendream8980]

dagestan wrestlers can't be dealt with imo by far the greatest wrestling region in the world

He is a russian citizen, although he is not russian by ethnicity. He is from Dagestan region of Russia, they are mostly muslim. They have one of the best wrestling schools in the world.

The Dagestani fighters are also dominant in a lot of MMA. Khabib Nurmagomedov, Zabit Magmedshapirov, and others with strangely similar names 'Magomed' appears somewhere in their nanes.

Amazing composer by Sajidov after getting shafted.

[@ods1ODS]

Damn the Russians are so distinct and so effective in their style of wrestling. They are incredible. You see this here and with the Saitiev Bros, Fadsaev, Tsargush etc. They are really not the best athletes, they are not the best conditioned, they just no exactly what to do and when to do it. They incorporate a style that renders conditioning not nearly as important. They stay calm, and the techniques are so ingrained in their muscle memory they know exactly where to push, where to pull, where to be, etc. Lots and lots of drilling at half speed.

[@John_James21]

You forgot about how prevalent steroid use is in Russia. This win against Cael doesn't even count. Nothing accomplished on steroids counts.

Khabibulin also counts Gadisov, Gadzimagomedov, and Gadsimurad Nurmagomedov (olympian for Armenia) as training partners. No wonder his wrestling is so good.

[@mokaddemabderrahim6119]

Cael was for sure one of the best but Sajidov was the ‘’ the bestest ‘’ 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@targhee159]

Not only was it a picture perfect crotch lift, but then Sajidov ended up with the takedown and none of the judges awarded the one point. 2 and 2 was total BS, but not awarding the takedown was even worse. The final score should have been 5-1. Man, I wish Cael had stuck around to see how he would have done against Ketoev.

[@ladev91]

i love cael, but sajidov is great

[@ChengManChing]

Yes, despite what the announcer said, 4:55 was a low single leg. So was 5:05, although it backfired for Cael when he got exposed.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Glad that Sadijov got that last take down to solidify the win. Terrible 2-2 call by the ref.

[@ods1ODS]

Cael at 9:36 that move woulda worked 9 times out of 10 in the NCAA. But against the worlds best in freestyle....not happening. As amazing as Cael was in freestyle, Im always going to wonder how much more he could've done.

[@e2go]

@Mike Betancourt Oh bullshit. “Evolved”😂. It’s evolved all the way to Cael still wiping the floor with the likes of David Taylor, Bo Nickal, Nolf, etc, every day in their practice room. Great wrestlers evolve, not moves.

[@steveskates1]

i remember when cael sanderson was 159-0

[@zenly_csgo]

watching it again and again i see more and more little actions like little leg trip by Sajidov at 5.09 or other actions

[@TheBigglenn311]

@HellzAce umm no. an ankle pick is when you have a hand on the hand and a hand on the ankle. A LOW SINGLE is when you grab the ankle WITHOUT the head with the same arm as the leg ou are shooting for. Go look up some ankle pick videos and some low single videos

Points or no points Sajidov wrestled stronger then Cael we just have to acknowledged that. But Cael's shots need to be a little bit tighter.

[@HellzAce]

@TheBigglenn311 No it was ankle pick. He never locked up a single. He got the ankle and Sajidov went down = ankle pick.

[@jordanbarlow8578]

Sanderson is one of the best!

[@zenly_csgo]

but sajid was better

[@kondawg8247]

People shitting on Sanderson like he didn’t completely change wrestling styles to compete internationally, he was a folkstyle phenom. If American schools and youth programs only wrestled Freestyle/Greco Cael would of been undefeated ay the international level too, dude was a takedown machine he just wasn’t good at the turn game freestyle focuses on. He used his TD and Folkstyle skills and became a Gold medalist in free style at the Olympics, quit acting like he’s some sort of scrub.

[@zenly_csgo]

dud watch at David Taylor who even uses folkstyle manner turns and other stuff at freestyle. Amazing folk wrestler who beats all best at freestyle. Folkstyle isnt exuse. Sajidov just more technical at defence and offence. Im from russia and DT is my favourite wrestler after Sadulaev because DT shows that folk stuff which i wasnt saw before and most considered too risky at freestyle. IF guy good freestyler - he is. I think DT is much better and KS was lucky to make his gold olimpics medal

[@John-jf5mu]

You can’t spell because you’re an i/diot

[@grawakendream8980]

4:55 can someone who wrestles, explain to me what happened here? it seems like a lapse on sajidov's part, but also sanderson didn't expect to get in, so for a moment they were both dumbfounded by the change in position with sanderson inside, and recovering fast enough to get the point. or i could be way off

[@Iamiamme3]
