The Greek vs The Persian. A wrestling match as old as wrestling itself.

JHank- you do realize if they lose when they should win, the Iranian government makes the wrestlers lives and their families lives miserable for a life time right? Respect that and be their friend. Hell while you are at it, get the fuck out of the USA and live there.

[@rezamarzani5846]

I admire your respect and its so good that we as people can talk to each other and know better, US wrestlers always are a very strong rival for Iranian's, I am a coach in a very special kind of wrestling in northeast of Iran we call It Chukhe.

Agree.

[@vstar9553]

For sure

[@mookie449]

The Iranian seems like a good kid.

[@avval-eFarvardin]

Rahman's down block is flawless. It blocks any move forward, while the opponent's hand is not free to work out. That is just absolute perfection.

[@MehrdadJalilian-hg8cp]

Rahman brutally defeated the referee and the American wrestler together

[@deepakduhan213]

If the match held in iran then the score will be 10-0

[@wrestlingscience]

Grounded rule needs to go. If your controlling the mat and pushing your opponent out of bounds he should be forced to either push back and stay in or give up a push out point. Tired of seeing negative wrestling on the edge

[@psnp6768]

Exactly. It's weak sauce to drop to your knees to avoid the pushout. The grounded rule favours the weaker, defensive wrestler.

[@hardcoreromeo2111]

Agreed

[@hardcoreromeo2111]

Or at least give caution and one

[@Bibicatluka]

Great point and the greatest criticism to the current wrestling rules. David Taylor grounded himself many times against Yazdani too

Damn good wrestling!

[@harrisonclark4382]

Did the reff actually say “no pushing”? 😂

[@chancebockenstest5170]

It's not really allowed in freestyle if done blatantly. It's the same reason the ref says contact red or contact blue. It's considered negative wrestling to just push the other guy on the shoulders consecutively

[@persiancat137]

No. Without the subjective referee, it would not be a close match

[@cyrusparsa1724]

In America, American wrestling fans are the smartest when it comes to geography because most of them know the difference between Iranians ( Persians) who are one of the world’s wrestling powers and other people in Asia like Arabs who don’t know anything about wrestling. Persians and Greeks/ Romans invented the sport of wrestling. Arabs have nothing to do with wrestling. Persians and Arabs are totally different ethnicities. Today people use religion as a form of nationality which is totally misguided. Irish and Mexicans are both Catholic but totally different ethnicities.

[@shaz131]

i wont say the difference between persians-arabs is nearly as pronounced as mexicans-irish...it simply cant be because of the geography of the region...the arab guld is just southeast of the fertile crescent and iran/persia further east...there has to be a degree of intermingling between the two...i bet if you make 5 odd people stand from each , the physical similarities cant be totally lost upon anyone

He was passive throughout the match and also took advantage of the grounding rule, not to mention Iranians got there on 3 days notice, ref was clearly whistling with intentions, after couple times, they should give a caution and point if the guy keeps grounding himself as soon as the opp punches the underhook

I actually really like the grounded rule, I can really appreciate a true match through and through. It’s freestyle, only points scored in this style should be takedowns and exposing an opponents back for a millisecond for a count, if you guys notice at the end of the match it’s a takedown to win it and we already know who wins if no one gets a takedown, can’t stay grounded if you are being taken down otherwise the opponent gets 2 instead of 1
