Isaiah Martinez vs. Jason Nolf: 2016 NCAA title (157 lbs.) 

Damn. Knowing now what Nolf has accomplished, it’s crazy to think how good IMar really was. Defeating one of Sanderson’s middleweight monsters instantly makes you legend.

my high school won this mat in a raffle. we use it for tourneys lol

One of the best NCAA finals matches of all-time.

looking back at these matches it's crazy to see how bad the stall calls were on Imar. He's be fighting for a takedown and the moment he adjusts he'd be hit with a stall call smh

Martinez always blew my mind with those head stand escapes from bottom. No one else does that.

One of the best championship matches of all time.

Why is the pic of the video Vincenzo vs imar like??

8:30 such a good ass moment. Love the announcers voice.chills.😁😁😁

They should upload the 141 Bryce Meredith vs Yianny Diakomihalis from 2018

Can someone explain that stall call in the 2nd on IMAR? It’s not like he was being pushed off the mat or avoiding action, he just sprawled, as he should have. And it’s not like he had been stagnant for a long time, I’m just confused. Anyone have a good explanation?

Wow that was such a great finals match at the time I was working overnight shift so I was watching wrestling but casually and holy crap with a amazing finals match that was

They upload on random Sundays?

Nolf is my favorite wrestler ever.

MARTINEZ FTW

Jason nolf used to walk onto the mat and he did not do much walking back and forth or do the pre wrestle bounce. He just walked straight up and put his foot on the line and waited on the referee like "let's blow the whistle and imma clean this up right quick".

Very good match!

Isaiah deserved this win over anyone else, nolf is a fantastic wrestler no doubt but Isaiah was better that day

Nolf got pretty lazy in the last 20 seconds, though many wouldn't be expecting that hard of a slide by attempt heading into overtime.

6:28 ain’t no way that ref just called nolf “bud” 😂

that duck under at the end!!!!

Not looking for an argument here but at 5:44 is Nolf allowed to use his foot like that or is the ref just letting it slide?

2021

IMAR took most the shots and ALL the exciting make the crowd roar shots. Nolf got 1 takedown, IMAR got 2. Considering that this was against the greatest coach of all time Cael, IMAR crushed him

Electric match

If it wasn't for the Penn State Middle Weight Titans, IMar would have gone down as one of the greatest to ever do it. I don't know if Imar would have stayed at 157 if Nolf wasn't there. It could have been about getting used to a weight closer to 74 Kg to prime for an Olympic slot. I think Vincenzo is good, but the fact that he's only a class above Nolf and he wrestles for Penn State makes me feel like he has an advantage against Imar. He's probably the training partner for the only guy to ever beat Imar. Insider knowledge and such.

Nolf should’ve won this one. Also realize how Nolf is the closest Penn State wrestler to win 4 NCAA championships

I don't think he can ever wear glasses with ears that low.

Worlds best hairline.

This ref doesnt believe in stall mates

Wrestling nolf looks like it must feel like dying of cancer. But martinez is just such a complete gangster he doesnt get phazed

I want refs to shut up and stop screaming "center!". If you see stalling then call it. Otherwise shut up. And same for finder locking. Call it as stalling. Otherwise shut up. Leave the coaches to coach. Coaches are who the wrestlers should be listening for during the action. Thank you.

This is a fantastic match! Like this is a great match! I kinda wish Nolf won

Jared gave the match away being lazy wtf

imo this ref a complete bum

Cant claim courage when you ran at the end.

IMAR was smarter, Nolf was better.

nolf was the better wrestler

Martinez with those horrible rolls at the end of the first period very luck jason didnt get back points out of it
