Zahid Valencia Takes On 3x World Medalist Alireza Karimimachiani 

Major props to Valencia for continuing to improve and overcoming obstacles - super impressive!

Valencia looks so big against everyone he wrestles

Imagine losing to a guy, who does a hair flick every 15 seconds. Jokes aside Zahid is a beast! 🇺🇸

If he shot everytime valencia fixed his hair he wouldve won by tech fall.

Dude is a weight cutting legend from the looks of it. Props to him. Thats harder than people know

Valencia man handled that first take down. Super impressive follow through

Zahid is a great wrestler! Great match.

Valencia is majestic bruh

Valencia looking like a prime Roberto Duran with that hair! Keep going

Valencia looks a FULL weight class bigger than his opponent

That duck under of his is so dirty.

Valencia is a King

Superb performance valencia always active n aggressive. 🙌🏼amazing conditioning 💪🏼

Wow. Impressive performance.

Valencia overwhelms these heavier weight classes with his speed quickness. He still wrestles like a 103 ,112 pounder like when he dominates California state championships. These heavier guys aren’t use to a big guy still using his lightweight moves. That’s why you see a lot of good light weights on a hs team being able to beat their heavier teammates 5 weight classes up

I didn’t recognize Zahid at first. Had to look at the flag at the beginning and rewind a few times to make sure that’s him 😂.

Zahid is a middle easterner name ... One of his parents could be Iranian or from one of the countries in the middle east

Great match!

I preach it to my kids ALL THE TIME! Stay on that guys head. wear him down and slow him down for the rest of the match. Notice when Valencia stopped attacking and pulling on the head the Iranian started to pick up his offense? Its not a coincidence folks. That's What putting in the work attacking the head can do. It just did it to a 3 time word champ. SO NO EXCUSES!

Nice match!!

Valencia is nice! 💪🏼👊🏼

Insane duck under

Zahids size is so deceiving, his speed just comes out of no where in crazy spurts.

I didn’t recognize Zahid. Beefed up considerably. I need some of his hair tonic

Zahid’s hair is his biggest obstacle

Beast

Gut wrench at the end was wild, Valencia held it down though, Forks Up all day

If I had to cut weight like Zahid I'd want to shave my head! I'm surprised he doesn't flag that much in the 2nd period, a bit slower but still able to move well and defend.

Awesome job to the mat Jesus

Suddenly Zahid Valencia becomes a monster. He is so huge and strong. He beats a three times world champion out of nowhere. Hmmm, who pays/owns WADA? Not Iran, Russia or China I guess. Should we appreciate this freak of medicine?

These guys are the same weight?

Valencia is very busy out there.

Crazy this guy was once 3 pounder in high school (even tho he was the biggest 3 pounder I’d ever seen)

Zahid Valencia looks bigger than the Iranian guy. Do they weight the same? In any case! Kudos to Zahid!!! He is a champion and great athlete. Go Zahid!🇺🇸

Victoria entre Titanes Valencia humille a Karimimachiani even while bottoming the American Unleashes a wrath above with 5 points, Outstanding 4 point lead, and ultimate Five point victory. The 2 point difference was purposely given and ceremoniously a taunt when bottoming for the Iranian.

Valencia uses his hair as a cloaking device. The guy is ready to be cast in a film role. At least give him a hair conditioner product endorsement.

How are these two in the same weight category? Valencia is so mich wider, and taller.

Great match.

Zahid straight beast love seeing our SoCal wrestlers putting it down !!

Valencia looks huge

Very hard to beat that length

Waiting.. Valencia Vs H. Yazdani

Valencia’s long hair should be illegal. It appears his opponents hair hypnotized by Valencia’s long Volumous silky locks lol. He flips it out of his face every second and these dudes just watch rather than attack

Idk how Valencia wrestles with all that hair in his face 😂

Wow

Bro looks like Jesus

Valencia needs a terrycloth headband ala McEnroe/Conners.

Отличный

Zahid looks a lot bigger than Alireza.

Wrestling with long hair is annoying, the fact he won with that is impressive.

Zahid looks sooo much bigger! How come?

I’ve always wondered how wrestlers of today would stack up against wrestlers from ancient times?

grounded rule has to be changed

They are both Iranians 🤘🏼🤘🏼

So much talk about hair, lets talk about, the work that was put in. You guys are missing the beauty of this whole thing.

Let's go USA

Zahid is so swollen up these days. I don’t even recognize him at first glance

Valencia, Wow! I have not finished bout - You look totally awesome thus far. With one exception. You spent a significant time of this match gently wafting your long and flowing brown hair out of your eyes to the back of your head. Why would you ever consider having hair so long and unattended to such as under headgear so that it totally fucks with your focus in a wrestling match?. ? May I please call your attention to 6:22 in this video. You once again take your hands to comb them through your long beautiful hair… and immediately lose points in the match. . I mean Jesus Christ. Are you in a wrestling match or a hair salon. Get your priorities straight buddy I love watching you wrestle. Thank you for Doing such a great job against such an amazing athlete in such a key dual-meet.

Bro why Zahid so BIG

OMG CUT THE HAIR!!! IM GOING MAD WATCHING THIS.

Karimi looks tired

I didn't know Tarzan wrestled

Zahid let go of himself😢(jk he’s a beast)

weight difference was obvious to me

Are these guys seriously in the same weight class?

Hair style works, can't see eye tontack!

Valencia might need to cut that beautiful hair

This is technically a Persian Vs. a Persian 😂

🇺🇸 are just better wrestler 🌎 🏆

Zahid is a Pakistani name.

Zahid looking cute with that new sexy haircut 💋

this was not a wrestling of tow freestyle wrestlers, but a freestyle wrestler against an americanstyle wrestler.

Flo needs to fire whoever makes their titles

USA!!!!

Luck was in his side

Time for a gift card to great clips

I am pretty sure Americans are cheating regarding their wrestlers weight, none of them seem to be on correct scale, this valencia is at least 95 kg. FILA should investigate and find what trick they are using.

I really dislike the refs in wrestling they are always trying to stick there nose into the match just let them wrestle

Zahid gotta cut that hair off 😂

Looking more mature by the match go USA

Zahid looks 2 weight class bigger than this guy

Great win Valencia!!! But as an old washed up wrestling coach I can tell you if you keep spending your time combing your hair in your matches in the end you will not do as good if you just tie your fucking hair back

Найфонова не хватает для этого волосатого

cut yah hair dude, zahid is a stud but why bother having any distractions... even if its sweet flow

He bullied the Iranian for the hole match

The hair seems like it is a distraction.

USA INTERNATIONAL TEAM IS THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD FINALLY. THE TALENT WE HAVE NOW AT ALL LEVELS FROM YOUTH, HS, and college is incredible. NOW WE SMESH SMASH ON IRAN AND RUSSIAN POWERHOUSES

Zahid are you Muslim?

The Iranian was paid big money to not wrestle for most of the match till the end, I bet

پاینده ایران بدون دین و فقط جاوید شاه شاه شاه

The hair was super annoying.

Need to eliminate the “downed” rule. If you get pushed out that should be a point

It ain’t the same without the Russians

Valencia needs to cut his hair it really interfears with his wrestling.

it seems that enovations in freestyle wrestling is being invented by most american wrestlers, and that is they go too many times on hands and knees for a snap. they stay there crawling toward the opponent's leg for a leg tackle. usually american wrestlers' main, if not the only, technique they rely on is leg takedowns. and to achieve that they are ready to do anything, like insisting on repeated attempts to grabbing the guy's leg/legs while staying down there in hands and knees. this is so new and inappropriate. wrestling is not only about winning. it is also about sportsmanship and chivalrousness. going on your knees is a sign of weakness. the referees should not allow too many times of going on your hands & knees. if needed the wrestling rules should be revised, because it is sort of unconstitutional. it sounds so ridiculous and unchivalrous of the world federation to accept it lawful to escape the mat repeatedly while you are on your knees.

Zahid got lucky with a guy smaller than him.

Gotta be honest, never cared much for Valencia. Maybe he should wear a hairnet. And they really coulda spotted the Iranian two points for his name.

cheqadr kos kesh ghaaviie ba oon moohaye afshoonesh

US wrestler are not in exact weight they are cheating (It's obvious) ....and they used drug doping......completely unfair fight
