Daton Fix on his Path to a NCAA Title 

Stud for sure

he got caught using steroids so he will never be taken seriously in the sport

@@user-gz6gl5lt5v Sarms not steroids

Same

💯

Thanks brother!

100%

Let’s goooo! Thanks

That’s insane

Not quite. Branch's record BEFORE NCAAs was 8-9. After winning 5 matches at NCAAs he finished with a 13-9 record.

hopefully you googled that, which was my intention for the post!

@@WeighingMyOptions Sorry, longtime wrestling fan and spent way too much time on wrestling trivia!

Not a problem, I like to write statements that make people read or learn about the topic at hand, not just repeat info. While the statement is true, it's also misleading. Just like the News does!! Thanks for engaging. I'm just glad someone read the statement and didn't take it as 100% fact without looking into it.

Lucky

We can address it in a future pod!

Thank you so much for your quick reply here! I love your show, I'm learning a lot so far!

Ahhhhhnok

There is an article by win magazine a few years ago about this. Last person who was unseeded to win was Mark Branch from Oklahoma state from 1998. Currently head coach at Wyoming.

Good idea

Love you more

First, he's at 133, not 190. And no, he won't compete against Spencer because Spencer has moved on.

No Spencer is expected and qualified for Olympic team trial 2024, Lee will be wrestling to compete for an Olympic spot 57kg, he forfeit in 23 due to injury, to come back for Olympics, and would you rather face Spencer, a nobody at uww seniors, or Vito, a returning gold medalist who has a bi in the olympic team trials?

@@robertbigelow6083 thanks for the info

Yessir

We will!

Never give away a gameplan.

Got it!

5th season? His first season was 2018. This is his 7th season. He'll be 26 in 2 months.

@@phattygoodness7347 you freaking idiot !!!! Do you pay attention???? He didn’t wrestle in 2018 & 2020 both redshirts stupid ass !!!! It’s his 5th season

​@@phattygoodness7347 The free covid year, freshman redshirt, and Olympic redshirt can extend a wrestler's opportunities. You mostly hear about Fix because he's been thisclosetoanatty 3 times and 4th once.

Redshirt and Covid year

We are

That's a dumb comment. He has the same eligibility as everyone else. Sour grapes.

Maybe just for you

High School + NCAA career record combined …# of NCAA/HS Titles 4xers Yianni D. 358-5..4/4 Cael Sanderson 286-3. 4/4 Logan Steiber 307-7. 4/4 Kyle Dake 361-18 4/2 Pat Smith 226-10-2 4/3 Few other notables: David Taylor 314-5. 2/4 Vito Arujau. 294-9. 1/4 Kyle Snyder. 254-5. 2/4 ** Dake had 2 HS titles, 3x finalist ** Plus Sanderson had 1 red shirt loss while the other 4xers did not giving him 4 losses in all matches wrestled ** Steiber is said to have 3 college losses and 1 high school but he did have 3 more college losses his freshman year at cklv while attached and before taking a medical red shirt, so they are on there. **all 3 of Yianni’s high school loses came as a 7th grader on varsity. He would not ever lose a match from 8th grade on so if you just include years that were in high school he only has 2 losses combined but he did wrestle varsity in 7th and 8th grade. He would go on to win 210 matches in a row. Won his 8th grade state title over Vito in tie breakers which would be Vito’s only high school loss (216-1) Yianni went 243-3 and 210-0 from 8th grade on. That # would have been much bigger but he choose to have surgery on his elbows his senior season rather than wrestle. He would have had 5 state titles like his brother Greg instead of 4. Amazing Yianni only lost 2 folk matches in a 9 year period. He has quite the resume being a **4x New York State Champ (again should be 5 but no sr yr) **4x NCAA Champ **4x EIWA Champ **4x Ivy league wrestler of year **4x EIWA wrestler of the year **2x Cadet World Champion **Senior World Silver medalist **3x Hodge finalist **3x Super 32 champ (tied for most) **state record in HS for consecutive wins (210 Vito is second with 177).

@@Slapthematwrestling why didn’t you put Nick Soriano on here ? He didn’t lose in HIGH SCHOOL & only 7 losses in college but like 3 of them were BS losses . Also i didn’t realize Steibler had those 3 losses you mentioned

​@@michaelmiller4777 I you watched Steibers 4 championship matches, then you know that it's really only 3 championships. He got gifted that last one.

@@phattygoodness7347 no he got gifted the 1st one dumbass in 2012

I didn’t like that one

you'll get out what you put in 17 is young many people In MMA have world class wrestling and started learning at like 30, wrestle you won't regret it

You can get really good in a year if you're committed. I started at 15 and by 16 I nearly placed in the state tournament. Self belief and having big goals will do you right !

It all depends on your natural athletic ability, your native intelligence, your work ethic and the right coaching.

It's never too late unless you don't believe your capable or willing to push yourself to do what it takes to win...

​@@BasicGestaltthere's no world class wrestlers in mma who start at 30, wrestling doesn't happen in a cage, and being able to learn mma grappling is so different from high level grappling, you don't get punched, elbowed, or kneed in the face in bjj or wrestling, usman is a "world class grappler in mma, watch him wrestle an older call Sanderson, there's levels to every discipline, the gsp usman guys only perfect defending mma takedowns and getting up from the ground...khabib is best example, lots of guys don't realize how many ufc/mma guys have a wrestling/bjj background...

😯

He’s only 38

He’s 25 yrs old FOOL ! An he took a redshirt in 2018 & an Olympic redshirt in 2020 & the Covid crap give all underclassmen an extra year of eligibility so that’s why he’s in his final season. So he’s wrestled 5 college seasons not anything new .

Cmon

​@clashofcombat C'mon, what? It's a joke. It's almost as funny as believing that his father pre-mixed the SARMS in a plastic water bottle and put it back into the fridge. Yeah, that's what Dads with world-class athletes for sons do. They seed unlabeled water bottles with PEDS so that their own kid tests positive in the next random piss test. Parents invest far too much into their kids' success to do something that foolish. No chance.
