Remember when these 2 were Freshmen? RBY squeaked in for an 8th place finish while Fix went to OT in the finals. Someone improved a lot more than the other.
IDK, I'm no expert but at that ultimate elite level if you're 2nd one yr and a yr later the 8th place guy is coming after you, you better be 110% ready, skill & strength differential at that level is almost nil
@@davidgantz9378 but 8th place guy wasnt "coming after" him. The 8th place guy surpassed him. The point was RBY improved a lot more than Fix improved.
@@djp5293 I'm just a fan watching, not an expert, your probably right, to me they are all so good I cant tell the difference > RBY, Desano, Fix except that RBY has unrelenting ability to win at this stage of his career. Yes you are right, incredible
And rby didn’t use steroids to improve. Fuck fix
Next year Fix 6th year
Thank you for posting these matches! Great commentary. Thanks to DC for promoting the sport 👊
agreed! (ps, I love your podcast) thank you for promoting the sport as well
You’re the man Lex
I was reffing a grappling event as this happened. So glad I can watch!!
Get Cael or John Smith on the show please! We need more wrestlers on big podcasts like yours!
Thank YOU! for promoting our sport, very refreshed to see you wrestled.
I love that DC is doing the commentary it just makes it that much more exciting
We need that too.
I’m a newbie for wrestling only 2 weeks and I love watching this stuff to learn new things. Especially since my coach will teach us a million things a practice and I can’t get enough time in practice to just focus and master two or three this way I can rewind it and focus on one move at a time
That first AnCael pick is sick
Penn State always shows up in March. A push out rule like freestyle would make things much better so wrestlers can’t hide out on the edge.
That rule would retire Mekhi Lewis like the danger rule killed Dean Heil
No.
@@K2NOPS the danger rule needed to happen. Dude would just dive for legs and lay there on his back waiting for a stalemate.
RBY would have gotten pushouts on Fix, as well. Penn State would just get better at that too.
If this was implemented Fix would not make the Podium. His entire game is based on 2 basic moves. This is why intelligent wrestlers defeat Fix. Yanni made him look like a middle school wrestler. Lee teched him. Fix is just another Iowa or OSU wrestler that is not capable of changing his game. Here is another FYI for you. If RBY does come back for another year he may pin Fix. Fix lacks take down defense, gets rode out like a school girl and could not spell cat if you front him a c and an a.
Cael might be the best wrestling coach ever when it is all said and done. Seems to out recruit everyone and seems to always have his wrestlers peaking at the right time. Always seems calm, collective and cool. Meanwhile, Iowa draining their wrestlers only to lose to higher seeds at the big show.
Facts man. We know what programs like Iowa and Oklahoma State represent, but PSU is THE TOP elite program and will be for a long time.
The wrestling participation rate is so low now, making recruiting very difficult. PSU finds the best and or creates them. I think Cael could care less how much wrestling recruits know, he looks for elite athleticism. He can teach them wrestling no problem. Nichol, Lee, Nolf & Sarocci are athletic freaks among others.
What I like is he gets them from everywhere rby Arizona nick lee Indians carter PA Aaron brooks Maryland max dean New York Greg kirkfliet Minnesota
He has the ability to take an above average/average wrestler and turn them into a winner in life. So fun to watch.
Where has Daton’s top game went? He used to be really good with legs, but now he’s just going to a claw spiral and giving up a lot more escape points
Bc Bravo is on another level 💋
@@Nik_Airball I’m talking about in general. He’s really given up on doing legs and I don’t understand why
@@ianshue2890 he’s been doing a lot of freestyle, killed his flow for top in folk
@@ianshue2890 You haven't been watching him much, then. Fix got his legs in on most of his opponents this year. RBY is a lot better than those guys, though.
@@genghiskhan7041 your right. A lot of times the only times I see Fix is in the NCAA tournament and when Oklahoma State wrestled Iowa, so this is just from what I saw in the NCAA tournament
DC commentating NCAAs is fun.
Both these guys are champs! Tons of hard work and passion. Look forward to seeing them both go far as part of the US team in the future .
Actually 1 guy is a 2x champ and the other is a 3x runner up.
@@djp5293 and what are you?
That was an insane match.
I’d rather watch paint dry
Thanks. Really well done. The sports looks alive and very exciting. It’s nice to see crowds again cheering on the athletes.
DC THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF EVERY WRESTLER!! This sport doesn’t get nearly enough attention
RBY is technical and smart
It seems that RBY is smart enough to respect the better wrestlers. And then he counts on his speed and quickenss to take advantage of the smallest opening.
Just a big thanks to the NCAA for posting all of these on their Channel. It helps & promotes wrestling throughout the United States. I hope to take my son one day to enough the whole Tournament. It’s part of Americana🇺🇸
RBY has very good mat awareness but god is it annoying to watch a wrestler hug the outside of the mat. Makes me wish they did something similar to freestyle with the push-out rule but maybe the first push-out of each round is a warning for some middle ground. Either way good wrestling.
Exactly! He is a great wrestler but the backing to the edge of the mat is maddening
Great counter wrestler. Stalls to the title!!!
@@chuckbarber8792 Just says National Champ in the books.
I agree. But I also feel like the ref awards not just mat control but aggression. That’s the one thing I’ve never liked about a Fix match is it always seems like he’s working to get the officials involved instead of going for it. He was pushing RBY to the side of the mat with no level changes or without taking chances. From the beginning setting the tone looking for stall calls. I think the better wrestler won the last two years. Last year Fix got every chance by getting back in the match with the refs. Came down to him having to get it done in OT. And to this year he didn’t get a takedown.
@@chuckbarber8792 the only takedown is this match was from rby shooting
It was sweet seeing this in person! Great match by both wrestlers!
Thanks so much for bringing DC in for commentary! His enthusiasm and knowledge of the sport do justice to this already incredible event. He will bring over a lot of cross over fans to wrestling. Please keep him on the team!
Undoubtedly DC narrating the wrestling matches are sensational, could you tell me if universities also help to recruit wrestling athletes from another country even if they didn't go to high school in the USA? I'm from Brazil
@@DragunovWayne Fala meu agmigo. Eu sou Americano mas a minha esposa e Brasileira. If you are looking to get recruited to an American college, the hard part is that you need to wrestle American "folk" style. Big colleges are interested in wrestlers who wrestle freestyle, no doubt, but they focus on folk style. If you train in BJJ, you can do well in folk style as there is a lot of scrambles and Niwaza. I would recommend going to the U.S. and signing up for some summer tournaments to get your name out there. Good luck!
DC’s commentating is so good, really helps that he promotes the sport
RBY’s just too damn good, man
How lucky is the ncaa to have Daniel Cormier announcing for the tournament.
Obviously Bravo Young can wrestle strategically with the best. He is very athletic and smart, great mat awareness and body awareness. He is the real deal. I wonder if he is thinking internationally?
Yup he wants to win world and olympic medals in 2024
Eh, he will have to spend some time in FS and change his style. If this match was freestyle I feel that Fix wins easily. Fix takes the center of that mat and pushed RBY out for an easy 3-4 points.
RBY out shot Fix overall. Probably 4 or 5 to 3 in terms of committed attacks. Fix pushed him around the mat, but rarely out. Fix really didn't shoot the whole first period so I'm not sure how people are crucifying RBY for stalling when Fix did less the whole match.
Overall they both stall their asses off though.
@Pockets Smith IDK, at that level it's a coin toss they're so good.
@@davidgantz9378 In 2 matches, 1 guy has scored 2 takdowns, 2 escape points and a riding time point over the other guy who got gifted 2 stalling points and 2 escape its not a coin toss.. 1 is clearly better.
@@davidgantz9378 when RBY wrestles desanto he sticks his left arm basically behind his back. That's stalling, and fix with his double boots and not trying to turn is stalling. They both stall there asses off.
@@pocketssmith5933 leaving your arm behind your back is not stalling just like leaving 1 foot back. Bottomline is as greAt as desanto is, hes not better than RBY OR FIX.
This is excellent cap right here NCAA posting these right away
I remember when i wrestled Amphi, which was RBY’s middle school team. He was beast cool to see him win back to back titles
Dayton Fix just cant win in the Finals whether its the NCAA or the Worlds..... Guy is stuck in 2nd place for life, such a shame.
maybe it is mental
And you're behind a computer..
Just tougher competition. For one to get in finals every year (4 state championships) 3 Ncaa finals including thesenoir worlds makes him one of the best. You must not know much about what it takes to get the finals since the age of 14 including 6 junior freestyle nationals, 1 junior worlds. A smart man would reconsider this post and a wise man would remove it. Just saying
@@nicoross5065 ok Socrates
Awesome commentary by Daniel. That ankle pick was sick!
Thank you for posting this!
RBY is so freaking special!! Love watching him work
Real good commentary! After my senior yr wrestling, I stopped following the sport. But a year later and it's improved
Man that was awesome wrestling for both of them!
What a great match! Respect to both of these legends, as I know the kind of training, endurance, strength and discipline it takes to achieve these levels in wrestling are just insane.
Great job, RBY! Loved watching your success over the years.
Congrats RBY! What a great season!
What a match. These 2 guys played chess the whole match. RBY kept his cool as usual. And Dayton was Dayton. Congrat to RBY on a stellar year.
Daton is one of my favorite freestyle wrestlers. I kind of feel bad for him. Shout RBY 💯💪🏾
I wrestled RBY in middle school. Proudly lasted 55 seconds against him.
Great re-shots by young. So quick
Another close match between these two. It was just a matter of a single take down that RBY got.
And RBY's ability in the 3rd period to take qualtiy shots and put Fix on defense the whole period.
From a layman's perspective one of the keys to RBY's advantage is in his leg movement through which he maintains his edge, and his rhythm.. It's like a dance...
I was there. When he jumped over fix it was freaking electric
Man I swear man I pray daton has an answer next year I'm gone stay a fan of fix he did his best it's wild young just has his number for now
What keeps us comin back.
Yes that is his Kryptonite. He has to change his pace. He has to do multiple shots after a initial shot. Willing to go a full 7 minutes of non stop wrestling. Work on riding and turns like Spencer Lee and a Tom Brands type of offensive and wear Bravo down because a fresh Bravo is to athletic. You have to get RBY beyond tired to score. Like Tom Brands did with Alan Fried when your oppenent has that amount of athleticism
A handshake woulda been nice at the end. Fix went up to him and gave him a pat on the cheek and RBY didnt even give him a head nod back. Anyways great match
I thought the same thing. Pretty fuckin wack to not acknowledge your opponent. But I know that RBY is usually pretty respectful, maybe he just got caught up in the moment
Daton didn’t give Roman much of a chance. Roman was mid celebration. He gave Daton his props in the interview though which speaks to his respect for his opponents.
Yo whats up crypto face
You mean the guy that took 15 seconds to let go of my leg after the match was over? I get it
Roman has been super respectful all week. He even said directly after the match DaSanto made him better haveing to wrestle him over and over.
Young is lightning quick ,amazing.
3 NCAA finals appearances and a grand total of 0 takedowns.
Now 4
@@jaydenvillasenor6758 i knew he would lose before he even stepped on the mat. These kinds of matches are just horrible for the sport. Drawn out and just atrocious.
People complaining abt this match too much, like I understand he was backing up alot but the mat push outs he had against fix he nearly scored on everyone of em. The match was basically one guy pushing and the other attempting 2 score off the mat, this cancel the stall call and.makes the ref stay on there toes.
Dude has some of the best defense in the game! if you have 16 seconds to take this dude down..youre done!
If you have 7 minutes to take this guy down you're done!
That's the third time Fix has lost in the finals relying on the refs for a stall call.
My exact thoughts lol
@@jacksonbutler4958 it was obvious he was just trying to push rby for a lot of the match. Everyone complains about RBY stalling but I think this was a pretty clean match from him, he wasn’t really running from fix and fix didn’t make many shots off the pushing
@@tristans_ people hate on rby cause he has good movement and he knows how to win close matches. Fans that would rather watch two guys tie up repeatedly for 7 minutes while barely moving are the ones that are mad. RBY is smart for not tying up with fix who’s strong as hell, he’s creating the new style and age of wrestling mobility and people are gonna hate.
@@tristans_ Reminds me of last year when he got hit twice in the last 20 seconds to which gave Fix 2 for the tie. Those were some of the worst stall calls I’ve ever seen
Ever since the cry baby antics when he wrestled suriano i just cant stand watching fix wrestle....produce some offense
If Dayton doesn’t learn from these he’s going to never win a Gold Medal. He can’t wait against RBY, he has to get and stay after him from the second the whistle blows.
Having said that RBY’s defense is World Class and the guy is also just clutch. He gets it done when it counts. My hat off to him.
Just a pleasure to watch them compete.
Great sportsmanship from RBY
My favorite part of this match is when RBY jumps over Fix with 2 seconds remaining.
Two greats. There were three champions quality athletes in this weight.
And the coaches. Maybe the two greatest American wrestlers. Who would be close? Gable? Baumgartner?
I was at a tournament when this was going down. Feels good to get off the mat to watch these two scrap
Oh shit DC Commentating is awsome.!!!!
Both did very well.
Fix is great but you can't win if you don't shoot
Penn State 5 guys Win National Titles tonight Lmmfao 🐐
i actually thought Daton was going to have this one, but RBY shows up again!
Dayton Fix is one of the best in the world. And Roman made him look basic. The two time champ is here.
Daton fix will be back next year he better catch a w
great MATCH
I love DC on the commentary
I don't think there's anything more annoying than watching a college wrestling match and hearing fans yell "stalling" for what is clearly not stalling. Seems to happen in every match
Its more annoying when fans scream 2 when 2 hasnt been scored yet.
C’mon upload the rest of em. Anyone know where to see them? Any uploads?
Fix gone be a 4x runner up
Flashback in the mid March of 2022
what exactly was fix game plan? stall for 3.....?
holy crap that was close.
We need more DC!!!
My boy RBY did it again! So intense!
LOVE RBY !!!
WE ARE PENN STATE!!!
Rby vs Spencer Lee would of being classic
Who would win
Spencer probably. Taking nothing away from the champ though.
I think RBY would beat him 3/5 times
Either way it will be classic but my choice would be to Spencer Lee
RSY WITH THE WIN!
The best part is RBY fix 3 should happen next year. I got fix taking that one.
DC makes this so much better.
What shoes are on the orange guy?
PSU dominates wrestling like Alabama does football.
I wonder how good Alabama might actually get at wrestling if them and a few of the other SEC teams had enough funding and resources for a decent wrestling roster. Need 10 DI scholarships as well as possibly an additional 2-3. So we're looking at 12-13 scholarships. Might be able to steal a few guys out of Pennsylvania and NY, as well as maybe locally around Georgia/Alabama. I've heard Georgia and Alabama has some pretty good DI worthy wrestlers out of HS.
@@zaynes5094 Don't know. Pennsylvania and Iowa seem to be the home for a lot of good wrestlers. Seems to be a big sport in those states.
Great match, no stalling just hard wrestling.
Upload the other matches yo
i would like to see them wrestle freestyle
Vaping delivers metals into my lungs. Water delivers metals into my bloodstream.
Tucson Proud!!!
1:23 RBY been working with David Taylor
Goat
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Well done boys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Don't hang your head Dayton.
You're an elite wrestler.
Everybody knows it
Second place ain't bad.
Who would win rby or Spencer lee
One thing I've noticed about FIX is that he gets into a good angle of attack, and then stops wrestling.
Fix is overrated.
Hellz Yeah R B Y 💪
let me fall on the ground i know they will put me on camera lmfao wtf
Why do I feel like fix been wrestling forever
I don't understand how they are so fast
RBY just keeps getting better. Young man is on a whole other level. If he comes back will beat Fix worse…..
These two are both top 4 pound for pounders. I think they are both better than Yianni. Only guys I’d put with them are Spencer and Gable
Dayton “the runner up” Fix…
🐐🐐🐐
Was this the best finals matchup?
DC is the best....P4P greatest
I seriously thought Fix was gonna win this time. Wow. RBY gets it done again.
I’m talking from someone who loves wrestling and has seen on UA-cam his fair share of great matches, I’m not talking from experience because very few people are actually on these guys level, very few, but I was absolutely disappointed in fix’s performance, I waited a whole year to see this again and I’m sure fix waited and trained specifically for this match and I only saw in the last 5 or 10 seconds some fire coming from him, he kept tying up and pushing rby all over the mat exactly like last year (desanto got in on rby legs in the big 10 finals like 4 times, fix was in on the legs like 1) and unless they have changed the rules that I didn’t know about that this technique is not going to score points, I love watching fix but he better hope rby doesn’t come back for 1 more year because if he does and fix decides to wrestle like that again he will unfortunately lose, for Myles amine too being a bronze medalist he got pushed around, also why aren’t these guys wrestling more throughout the year, if you want to know where you are against your competition you shouldn’t be finding out in the finals of the ncaa, I think these coaches are avoiding 1 another, Covid or no Covid am I supposed to believe that penn state and Michigan and Iowa and the cowboys couldn’t check there schedule to make sure they were all at 1 tournament to get some great looks from 1 another, a lot of these guys had never wrestled 1 another until there conference championship, how do u have some of the toughest guys in the weight classes not meeting until the finals??????
I agree with you. I think some of it is just a scheduling thing. But there are also similarities on the international level, some of the toughest guys in the world do not face each other until the finals in a tournament. Desanto and RBY are fortunate in the sense that their teams are both in the same conference, Fix not so much. This is another reason why so many athletes choose the Big ten over the Big 12, the Big ten has tougher opponents (not always, but for the most part). Prior to RBY, Fix's greatest threat throughout the season was Desanto; RBY faced Desanto about 3 times during the season; he was more ready for this than Fix was.
