One hell of a match for a 3-2 decision

My favorite match ever bro!!

[@randomschmo5778]

I really hate that fleeing the mat under attack that used to go on. Glad for new rules.

Pretty badass seeing two Cali boys in the NCAA finals

[@JonahModestoCalifornia]

Fr not a lot of these other states dont give cali recognition

[@yunoAsta141]

To be Honest if he had sat through on that first stale mate bro could’ve pinned Jesse 😅

[@Nazisarelame]

Best scrambling I’ve ever seen

My first time seeing Delgado .. I know everyone is different but it seems as if he has a very unorthodox style of defending .. I am almost halfway through and I don't think I have seen him sprawl once. There has been many times where athletes have applied their own way of doing things in their particular sport that go against the fundamentals that have been seen as the best way of doing things and therefore are taught to all new people when they first start practicing and learning their craft.. Sometimes I have noticed that it is often the case that athletes have found better ways of doing things just by ignoring the status quo and instead doing things the way that feels natural to them. The way that he goes for the leg instead of what everyone is expecting him to do is probably why he is where he is. Maybe this could be a better way of doing things than the typical sprawl/counter motion.

The way that he transitions from the dive to the leg in response to the counter and then using this move where he pulls both legs up by the ankles, that I have never seen taught in any wrestling room and only comes naturally for someone who has experience, is just the right moves that you need to have to be a champion.. I am rooting for Delgado here.

Yeah its 5 am and Ive been watching Cody Brewer and Nahshon Garrett for the past hr

[@cosinguspalpatine4449]

Nahh he’s very orthodox. Very hyper trained traditional stance, just seems unorthodox because Garrett beat the head, hands, and hips so Delgado had to hit that worst case scenario defense. But he his worst case scenario move still pretty fye. Back then those leg passes were mind blowing. Nowadays a lot of wrestlers can counter the leg pass

[@tomrileydocs]

Called a funk roll, Ben Askren did it often. You're right though, he does it instinctually. He's gotten so good at funk rolls that it's an automatic stalemate or 2 for him.

Garrett won this match

[@Seuspesos]

Nashon was square on the hips the whole minute of riding time he got during the 2nd I’m glad they dinged him for stalling I thought u had to be off to the side he shoulda got hit 2 or 3 times before he did

[@pauldarling330]

referee broke up the scrambles way too early. Garrett was robbed.

[@ogot344]

So happy the new funk rules are in effect

[@diamondback4522]

What are they?

[@xenonmaster6668]

Diamond Back if your on one shoulder 90 degrees for 5 seconds the person who isn’t in danger that’s defending it, the defending wrestler gets the takedown.

[@xenonmaster6668]

Jesse for sure would’ve given up 3-4 maybe even 5-6 takedowns because of jesse’s scrambling

[@Torpedoman316]

@@diamondback4522 it's called neutral danger zone it's only 3 years old, it only happens from a takedown attempt in a neutral position

[@amazingsportsmixes126]

@@Torpedoman316 neutral danger zone is one of the worst things to happen to Ncaa wrestling

[@cjmontoya9100]

Delgado loses if current danger situation rules applied. He lays on his back too often and long.
Still super impressive but we’ve seen people get the TD these last few years doing the Delgado dive for the leg

this match exemplifies everything that's wrong with folkstyle wrestling

[@andrerodriguez5833]

More like everything right with folkstyle. Good luck finding a freestyle match this fun

[@JA-yb4xc]

freestyle sucks lol

Nashon is my coach

[@johnscarce792]

Lucky

[@bobbuilder9557]

Tell em I asked how does he shoot form so far 😂

[@Ju-sj1vy]

They just play it off like he didn't get like 3 takedowns in the beginning 👎 even the other teams coach challenged it

[@cashrules520]

Imho bias officiating. Glad the new rules in place.... Delgado was stalling whole 1st period. How you thr defending champion and not attacking once.. Nashon was robbed
