Yarygin 2018 Day Two Brackets: 65kg, 79kg, And 125kg

Check out the complete Yarygin 2018 brackets for the USA's Kyle Dake, Logan Stieber, and Nick Gwiazdowski.

Stieber, a 2016 world champion and 2010 NCAA champ, and Josh Kindig, a 2014 NCAA finalist, are competing at 65kg for Team USA in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, on Saturday.

Representing the U.S. at 79kg is just Dake, who will be making his Yarygin debut.

There are three American heavyweights entered in the tournament, including the 2017 world bronze medalist Gwiazdowski, 2015 world team member Zach Rey, and national team member Bobby Telford.

Action begins at 10 PM Central time, and we will have the stream embed available here.


Jayson Ness is at the top of the bracket, against mystery man Kenessary Baltash (KAZ). The favorite to come out of the top side is Akhmed Chakaev, who won Yarygin last year at 61kg.

Despite being in only a 10-man bracket, and landing on the side with only four wrestlers, Dake has a difficult draw. In the quarterfinals, he starts with Alan Zaseev, who most recently beat 2017 world silver Khetik Tsabolov 10-2 in the finals of the Alans tournament in November. Dake follows that up with 2013 world bronze medalist and 2014 Asian Games champ Rashid Kurbanov.
