They would have to gain citizenship. Yonger just got his green card which is a step in the process.
Ech very well could be , I don’t know , but it was stated earlier that Yonger just received his green card and that made him eligible for NIL
Brooks is just so incredibly solid. His hand fight and hips are incredible. Never seen anyone stuff Taylor’s shots like this. Crazy, but Brooks was clearly the better wrestler today.
Brooks makes Olympics over Taylor.

And Zahid got hosed
Brooks gave up a dumb challenge point to Zahid. Was a pretty easy 4 point call. Think he is clearly the USA’s best 86kg dude right now.
Clearly? He should’ve lost that match. Zahid might have also beat David
Was thinking about this. I think this the negative side to having all these to guys at NLWC. Taking nothing away from Brooks as he was clearly better yesterday, but I have to think DT has a better shot on the world stage.
Yeah, clearly. Your opinion he should have lost. He didn’t. If we’re playing what ifs, take away his bad challenge point & the singlet grab & what’s the score? He’s a winner.
Edit-not trying to sound like a **** there. Reread it & it comes off that way.

I don’t know man, Brooks is incredible and only getting better.
I’m not sure they train that much. Maybe 4-5 years ago they did.
Brooks is just that big of a talent, and always has been. It’s his weight now for the next 8 years if he wants it to be. Yazdani will be a challenge for sure, but I think that is the only guy that can beat him internationally.
Brooks may not want the weight cut after this year. Could see him going up after this cycle….he appears to have the frame to continue putting on good wt.
That’s true. And with 92 kg, he could transition up there for a year or 2 before going 97.
If he does go up, I think he beats Snyder too.
Don't disagree, but the roll DT has been on the last 3 years or so was impressive. Not that Flo is the end all, but they had him ranked #1 P4P in the world. Make no mistake, this was a huge upset and there is a strong possibility that familiarity played a role.
