JB is great. Its funny that many Russian fans cheered for him rather than for their countryman Tsargush...haha. Basically, people HATE Tsargush's style and his dirty tactics.
Tsargush is a good wrestler, he beat JB for the 2nd period 2:0 (not many people do that of beatiful arm-drags and with a little more tactics could have won that match.
But he is definitely very very far from the level of B. Saitiev who ruled 74kg and was a 3x Olympic champion. By 2016, Tsargush will not be on the Russian team.
Willin_But_Not_Chaeble - How does a guy like this even get started in MMA? He can't start in small shows - what type of lunatic would take a fight against an olympic gold medal wrestler? He's just get taken down and have his face pounded in. Weird scenario.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with smaller shows, plenty guys willing to step up for mismatches.
If he wants, he could develop a lot of MMA skills and get some small shows out of the way on a part time basis in the next 4 years.
hopefully we have to husker gold medalists after tomorrow
Anyone think he can start training a little BJJ and boxing now while still keeping his elite level wrestling skills?
Anyone got a link to the match?
MSNBC showed a 5 min highlight of him before his semifinal match and he was hitting pads with training gloves on in the clip. Looks like he's already cross training a bit.
Lux Fixxins -Fucking awesome.
Couple things:
1). Do you think he could have medaled in Greco as well?
2). Has anyone ever participated in both styles in the olympics?
Not a chance
The double styles have been done a number of times by Americans. The best guy both greco and FS this year is Haxewinkle, (55 kg). He just right on the cusp of making the greco team a couple fo years back and then knocked off Simmons, (%th last year at freestyle worlds) to qualify for the freestyle olympic team.
Caught_clean - Jordan Burroughs landed a $250,000 (£160,000) bonus after becoming the United States' first wrestling champion of London 2012.
Sweet! 
I've only been able to watch the quarters match, hopefully someone will put the last 2 on youtube?
