Dearl Lord you've got some of the best wrestlers on the planet here. With the coaches, wrestlers, and you've got Jordan Burroughs on the Mike and Kyle dake on the mat. This tournament had been incredible. The Lee Ramos match was so sick. The Vito vs. RBY was pretty dam amazing as well. RLTW 3/75
Man I really want to see another angle of the end of the match. It looked like Sasso was behind him.
Sassy would be really good at BJJ and MMA
Yianni D owns Ohio State. It’s been a pleasure to watch his college career. It’s only up from here.
Sasso never committed shot just played defense grabbing a leg holding could of been called for stalling for a point never was behind yanni at end of match if want longer yanni would of got take down too good of scrambler go sasso
Congratulations Yanni & Sasso!!
Man I love Dake and hearing Yanni talk about the respect he has for him is awesome!!
Yianni,,,, the man, the myth, the legend…. What an athlete
If Spider Man and Bruce Banner had a child…
Yianni is literally a hof out of ny
Nah that two at the end
To be great at this level, you gotta be training with sharks 4-5yrs older than you. Yanni was training with the Cornell wrestling team while he was in high school. Sad to say this is a privilege sport now..steel sharpens steel PERIOD…
Yianni cradles and turns Sasso in the national finals… commentators compliment Sasso 4 times😂
Bro this man is nasty this whole match!!! Beautifully done!
Yianni may have won his 4th but certainly did not wrestle like the 4x champions before him. For being so dominant he wrestled soft. His team mate put him to shame. So disappointing to see him go out with a whimper.
That was a takedown at the end for sasso that's bs
Yianni Diakomihalis!!! Great match Sammy!!! Wow.
Damn he beat McKenna then Sasso
Sasso got upsetted earlier in the year but he always shows up when it counts
The spartan was to much for Sasso
Sasso looks like a scrub when he has his singlet legs pulled down
Who was the former president there that day?
7:55–8:02 it looks like Yanni could have his knee snapped/dislocated…is nothing potentially dangerous in college wrestling? I get he's flexible but that looks like it hurts so bad.
God is shining through this man and he's destined for greatness
Sammy might be the slowest starter to a season but definitely finishes strong when it matters. Watching his first matches to his seasons idk if it's his cardio or what.
watching yanni’s leg go side ways, mine would’ve broke😂
Yianni in phenomenal shape here. Looked like an Olympian. Respect to Sasso, kids a hammer. Yianni continuing to show maturity, hes better every tournament.
It just shows how competitive wrestling is that Sasso pushed Yianni. Even with Yianni's international freestyle experience. Sasso wants an NCAA title. Yianni wants an Olympic gold.
