And he lost the match at Rudis by even more. This is starting to remind me of the UFC artificially inflating Ronda Rousey or Conor MacGregor. What's the $$$ incentive?

      Swiderski is a stud.... but I dont think he can make 61kg. The rudis match was a catch weight.
      Now you wanna talk their sophomore year at who's number one? Swiderski all day. Wrestled a great match. . And won when a lot of people didn't think he had a chance.
      Both kids are studs, just different weights. But its the rematch everyone wanted to see... hence why rudis did a catch weight. Im looking forward to both their college careers. I think wrestling with carr everyday will make swiderski jump levels. Hope he goes 149 to take over for dagen.
      The point of the video was to show Mendez mindset, and the fact that he's in high school getting 3rd and senior nationals.

      Both are studs.... I couldn't beat either one lol 😆

Casey is a machine and I'm not taking anything away from him but we all know at this level 15 pounds and massive height advantage come into play, swindersky isn't doing what Jesse did at his own weight class, Jesse just doesn't turn down any competition so people trying bring this up all the time like Jesse the scrub when in actuality Jesse is one of the best high school wrestlers we might have ever seen even if he has lost to a much bigger Elite wrestler
