Sazhid Sazhidov is the oldest looking 23 yr old I've ever seen. He's that Dagestan 23.

Amazing composer by Sajidov after  getting shafted.

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.

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.

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.

Judges were the real performers

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

how in the world did the refs think they could get away with such biased scoring

An awesome match between two great wrestlers, too bad they haven’t met at the Olympics in 2004.

i remember when cael sanderson was 159-0

Gosh i wish someone would clean this video up

This is the elite of the elite

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

Damn, they are fast.

incredible technique here

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.

@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

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

aww damn I was hoping to see Cael yet again come out victorious but a great match anyways!
