2020 Domestic Rankings - Men's Freestyle

65 Kilograms

As predicted, the 150-lb 8-Man Challenge really shook things up here. The topic of whether or not to rank/seed based upon matches that don't happen at weight has been the main source of debate for wrestling fans the past week or so. Clearly, as I put James Green at #3, I think they should be considered. They are legit wrestling matches, and you can't pretend like they didn't happen.

Yes, James Green hasn't made scratch 65 kg since 2016 when it did not go well. However, he has looked great the past three weeks within striking distance. He just took second at the 8-Man and beat Pantaleo, who upset Jordan Oliver in the first round. Ashnault makes his rankings debut as well after taking out Evan Henderson.
