Just tuned in time to see Hidley TF Downey 12-0. I think RAF has given Downey enough matches now. Time to move on.
Johnni Dijulius wins the first match, and Hidlay takes out Downey with a couple of 4-pointers.
Nolf up next.

Dammit, I miss Jason Nolf.
Tech in the first.
Tech in the first.
That dude he just beat was a replacement wrestler. Sucks but at least RAF had somebody to fill in.

Sucks that it was a replacement, but I'll watch Jason wrestle a 12-year old from Overlook School for the Blind and still love it.
Surely PDIII still has eligibility left.
Buzz McCallister (Sinclair) defeats Salpudinov 9-4
Don't get too excited. He may not have trained since he won the Olympics in '16.
Still a impressive result. Especially since Cejudo keeps ducking. Gotta beat whoever they put in front of you
Really nice win for Sinclair. Saipudinov was world bronze last year
Cejudo did not look good in his last match. Bo needs to wrestle someone not on arthritis medicine. Lol. Who's picking his opponents, the Paul brothers?
Kyle looked great! I think Taz thought he had criteria with 30ish left, but KS looked awesome!
Idk how they do match making. But I agree. I want to see him against JO or Real Woods
With little time left Keck was charging in on a double leg and they cartwheeled around towards out of bounds and Dake managed to keep his back upright and expose Keck for the 4. No bricks in RAF or it may not have scored that way.
*edit* or just watch the video in the next post El Jefe put up. My description isn't that good. I'm no Slippery Pete.

Gotta stop the attack and change the direction of the attacking wrestler . Kecks points if they had review I think. Would've been 3-3 with keck holding criteria with about 4 seconds remainingWith little time left Keck was charging in on a double leg and they cartwheeled around towards out of bounds and Dake managed to keep his back upright and expose Keck for the 4.

Totally unrelated to wrestling (I guess), but I saw an employee at a Chik-fil-a the other day that looked just like Aeden Sinclair. I was by myself at the time, but I was looking around for someone to tell.
I must be in the minority here but RAF is of very little interest to me and I cannot see it being viable in the long term. I suppose as long as the guy with deep pockets is good with it, it will go on. But, having influencers and washed up MMA guys wrestle is just not intriguing in the slightest. Watching pat Downey get whipped is always fun, but at this point it's just sad. Idk. Glad you guys all seem to enjoy it.
If they are trying to tap into the UFC audience, it might be viable. Grow it slowly and deliberately. Need to have a ranking for each weight with a champ and contenders (maybe they have it already).
The growth and popularity of women’s wrestling is making the whole sport more popular.
Ya maybe. I'll be glad to be wrong but I don't see it working out long term. The novelty wears off. I'm just excited for real international freestyle and the awesome domestic tournaments that lead up to it.
Not sure where Keck scored more than a pushout there. At no point was Dake exposed, and no takedown since he landed on top of Keck.
In any case, Dake has been hitting that chest wrap since God was a child. If you're gonna beat him, you need to prep for it.
