As expected the fur was flying at UWW Nationals on Saturday, and we had some absolutely incredible cadet freestyle matches on the way to getting some anticipated finals. In the mix of awesome finishes in Akron, Ohio, was one hell of a performance by Peyton Robb, who will be in Sunday's best-of-three finals against Will Lewan.

We also saw another chapter added to the Nick Raimo versus Carson Manville rivalry along with getting an epic finish between returning cadet world bronze medalist Travis Wittlake and Fargo All-American Julian Ramirez. But enough talking about it, let's get to our best cadet freestyle matches of the day.

54kg: Robert Howard vs. Brody Teske

I had this one marked from the second I saw they had registered, and it checked all the boxes of excitement, including an eye-popping finish. While Howard had the upper hand early, Teske came back, and we got a photo finish.

54kg: Chris Cannon vs. Jakob Camacho

Camacho had the lead for just about the entire match. But then Cannon channeled his clutch gene. [Watch here]

76kg: Travis Wittlake vs. Julian Ramirez

I'm not giving anything away with this one. Just know that they end up with over 20 points on the board and that no one was safe, not even the scorer's table. Oh, and don't blink in the end.

69kg: Frankie Gissendanner vs. Peyton Robb

Upset alert... well, the first for Robb. He has put on some size and added an attitude that has powered him to the finals. In this match, Robb takes out Fargo champ Frankie Gissendanner to advance to the semifinals... to be continued. [Watch here]

69kg: Peyton Robb vs. Connor Brady

In our last episode of upset alert featuring Peyton Robb, he had just taken out Gissendanner to make the semis. This time he keeps it rolling and showed that he can get the job done in a close match. But you've got to give up to both guys. They put on a high-level show. [Watch here]

58kg: Carson Manville vs. Nick Raimo

These two have developed a nice little hostile rivalry the last few months that has everyone watching each and every time they square off no matter what style it is. Raimo got the best of Manville on the first day in Greco, adding onto his controversial win from about a month ago. This time, Manville had a different game plan.

76kg: Aaron Brooks vs. Zachary Braunagel

Braunagel pushed and had Brooks on the ropes, but Brooks was able to turn the tides and get the win late. [Watch here]

100kg: Jace Punke vs. Tyler Curd

Revenge is the theme of this one. Curd pinned Punke on Friday, but things went a little differently on Saturday as Punke got the upset win. [Watch here]
