Jordan wrestling is very elite and there is a reason to worry for the Dagestani cam as he wrestles at 164lbs and is a 3x All American, and 2x undefeated national champion in NCAA Division I wrestling and also a 5-time world wrestling champion. He finished his college career with a 128-20 overall record and to top it all, he is an Olympic champion with a world stage record of 60-4.

However, Conor’s gas tank problem is also a major concern and will be critical in this fight. The SBG Ireland squad has also bought in a bunch of high-level Moldavian wrestlers, with whom Conor has been wrestling for a long time.
