Not always true. This is not totally related, but Flo has been trying to put together match cards like the one on Feb. 26 and the biggest challenge is guys not watching to wrestle each other.
@ I respectfully disagree. There are other dynamics at work such as money and injuries when it comes to Flo and other media/sports outlets. The athlete has to protect themselves physically and financially, and 95% of the time the deal is not consummated due to money or injury; not for a lack of desire.
@ Spencer Lee is most certainly at the top. It is a great match up. Ono and Lee have different styles on their feet in so far as their signature moves. On top, Ono does not want any part of Lee’s leg lace. Lee does not want any part of Ono’s gut wrench. I am excited to watch.
Wrestling needs more of this. More prominent matches between the best guys. The next evolution of wrestling is increasing the number of prominent matches of Team USA guys. USA wrestling should partner with the Collegiate Wrestling tournaments to do something fun like the guy who wins Midlands, after the championship match, gets to wrestle one of the Team USA guys in Freestyle. Imagine this year if Messenbrink could enter a tournament and a match with Dake was waiting at the end if he won. Everyone would be at that tournament. It would drastically increase tournament attendance and interest.
as much as I would love for the US to have a easy path to gold, to be the best you have to beat the best. Ono is no joke. a victory against him at the world championships would definitely prove Lee is the best of the best rather than not having much competition.
I'm thinking more for the future of Hawkeye Wrestling, and We need Spencer to attain whatever he wants to achieve, and then we need him to report to Iowa City, and either become a short time assistant, with the knowledge that he's taking over the program. I'm sorry. But the Brands have had their time at Iowa, and now we need somebody new. Spencer Lee.
Spencer had his shot at Gold last olympics and came up short with a semi-retired Japanese wrestler who beat him clean and pure, last period. He should retire
This isn’t folk-style RBY. Lee wants another shot at the best. Ono needs to make weight though. Brands will have Lee watching that gold medal match a hundred times in the event it happens….
Personally, I guess Lees skeletal will bid him an untimely farewell. And coaching sux. You have to get on a mat 7 days a week even summer and fly/drive to the point your bladder deforms. Maybe for college football salary. Who? Cael, Taylor, Ryan (no portal, low NIL)
The best always want to wrestle the best. They do not avoid it.

To be the best, you have to beat the best! Lee is the best.

@ it will be exciting , high level wrestling
Flo night at a catch weight and Ono down at 57 may be two completely different matches. Hopefully, we'll get to see.
Another fantastic video! thank you
I hope SPENCER LEE pins him like he should.
The chinese wrestler who spencer wrestled twice is a beast
He using PED?
Lee is a big underdog. But nothing is guaranteed.

Between Lee and RBY is a Grand Canyon,not a gap
Going to match of the year!

I wonder if the weight cut will affect him in a negative way.
That weight cut for Ono might be a factor. Spencer will train hard, Ono will train hard…this is what it’s about. Go Spencer❤️

Couldn't agree anymore
Japanese wrestling has been stepping up their game at an insane pace.
Absolutely...both men and as always, the women!!
Ono is about as good as I have seen.
Ono vs Lee could be the new rivalry
Spencer my goat
Mine too!!
I don't see him beating Ono.
How do we watch the match????
What time on February 26th ? Eastern time?
Damn Ono's. First Yoko, now this.
I think Ono is the best wrestler in the world. I rooted for Snyder every time he lost to Sadulaev.
Spencer could be one of the best US freestyle wrestlers ever if not just by the sheer number of wins with techs, even if he does not win many golds.
Huh? Golds determine the goats.
He’s trolling Spencer for their February match
When has it ever been easy
Anyone who says Ono isn’t the favorite is mad
Spencer had his shot at Gold last olympics and came up short with a semi-retired Japanese wrestler who beat him clean and pure, last period. He should retire
What a clown of a statement.
Flow holding this sport back
Opposite
O no!
Ono might not be the same wrestler at 57. He’s pretty stout at 61.
This isn’t folk-style RBY. Lee wants another shot at the best. Ono needs to make weight though. Brands will have Lee watching that gold medal match a hundred times in the event it happens….
The matchup favors Ono, but i only support Merica!
Rby isn't even close to Spencer's level
