Mark my words - the version of 8x World/Olympic Champion🥇Abdulrashid SADULAEV (RUS) that we get at this years World Championship (and RAF) will be the best one we have seen in YEARS 🐐🔥
This photo is from SADULAEV’s most recent weigh in for the May 23rd 2026 Dagestan vs Ossetia dual (Sadulaev 14-1 TF over Bagaev)
Long gone are the days of an injured, chubby, passive Sadulaev. He is healthier, in better shape, and more aggressive than we’ve ever seen him at 97kg.
97kg is by far the best/deepest weight class - but this man is still the king 👑
VARNERS BACK for more! After making his debut at RAF 02, where he beat Pat Downey, 5-0, he's now stepping it up a notch.
At RAF GEORGIA, it's going to be Olympic Champ vs Olympic Champ as he takes on Geno Petriashvili, who won Gold in 2024.
Should be a fun one! July 11th.
I was cornering him. He lost the first period and was content keeping it close. All I said to him was do you want to be the guy who is close to him or be the guy who beats him. He made up his mind and got it done. It was cool to watch. Best seat in the house.
Big win for Kannon Webster here.
Ganishov was the 2025 Russian Nationals champ and is currently ranked #11 in the world at 74 kg.
Tell me again how USA is not catching Russia 🤷♂️
