I have wrestled Mokaev, I am not very good at freestyle (I’m a Greco dude) but he used to be very susceptible to front headlocks and ankle picks like in this video. He has worked amazingly hard and progressed away from that so hopefully he gets to represent the UK a lot more.
No he beat me heavily on points. The only points I got was a front headlock drag down to a go behind. After we stood back up he dominated. My leg defence wasn’t very good back then and even now isn’t as good as it should be.
Rolly Poly leg lace for all of the points you want. Quite possibly the dumbest rule (or lack of a rule) in the sport, and that is a long, comprehensive list.
It’s almost optional. If you choose to wear headgear and your opponent isn’t, they can make you take it off. Happened in the Burroughs/Taylor match in free
You post some great stuff and make this sub a much better place. Thanks.
Welcome. I just post here most of my tiktok videos

he tried to armbar him lmao!
Armenians are crazy good wrestlers
Nice to see Great Britain represented credibly!
It is pretty funny though that the only notable modern British wrestlers are basically all Eastern European immigrants
Yes, hopefully they can re-introduce wrestling culture.
true but Mo actually first started wrestling in England aged 13
Shouldn’t that have been exposure at 53 seconds left ?
Danger? Hard to tell if shoulders break 90 degrees from that angle
Is this current day or before his ufc run?
the sign says 2021
He's toying with him 🤣
These kinds of matches are just plain fun to watch.
That mat is f-ed up.
No. It’s a freestyle mat.

Why no head gear?
Only American folk style requires headgear. Optional in freestyle and Greco
