“cornell looking for its first national champion since 20 minutes ago” 😭
I caught that too!! LOL!!
Classic!
I laughed so fuckin hard 😂
I'm weak lmao
Timestamp? I missed it lol
Sasso is a class act he put on some great matches for us he just ran into one of the greatest college Wrestlers EVER
Sammy looks like a goddamn ox
The best college wrestler ever is Cael Sanderson.
@@richardrockie5475 agreed. But he said yianni is ONE of the best... which is correct
Yeah Cael number one but Dake and Yanni are also up there with some of the greatest to ever do it
@@dieusonmalcomson7335 I'd agree that Dake edges out Cael. Winning 4 is difficult enough, winning them at 4 different weight classes is unreal.
Shoutout to Yianni’s ligaments and tendons I feel like every match they are put to the test 😂. He is goated though:
He seems to be double jointed on every limb lmao.
@@DTS_Ithat what I thought. He’s def double jointed.
Bro that commentator 😂 7:24
goated for that
As a wrestling fan, I am gonna miss both of these guys......and for Sasso...great career....you always brought the heat.......I salute you.
Sasso has another year wtf
@@amazingsportsmixes126 does he rly?
@@amazingsportsmixes126 i hope that's right, he's a joy to watch. Some great matches in the tournament. Skill level just keeps getting better. Making me nostalgic for my day's grappling. From the early days w/Dad driving me all over the North East. I sometimes forget how lucky I was but just came from watching the finals at my Dad's house and it comes back.
Fix has another year still as well! I feel like he’s been in NCAA tournament for a decade!
@@keithlippai3558 no way for real it feels like 6yrs
Sasso is the best wrestler I've seen not win a national championship. Dude has the best defense I've ever seen.
Add Mike Poeta to that list as well
@@georgetawadros2452 Morgan McIntosh also
Good defense but sits on it allot can’t gain points for stalling needs to get in on more shots too and it would be a whole different match!
daton fix is another
Don’t forget Gilman
Yianni was always my top pick through his entire college career. The guy is a wrestling masterclass.
YIANNI is A LEGEND. HE's now one of the best wrestlers.
he's the GOAT easy
@@rj119x Cael Sanderson
@@francescaval7314 Dake. It's splitting hairs, but there's a reason Dake is the only one to do it in 4 different weight classes.
@MrGuanYu1 Cael did it undefeated though.
Dake cuz all at different weights
Man I love Dake and hearing Yanni talk about the respect he has for him is awesome!!
Wow- how he can wrestle with so much going on from any position. A great triumph
That first takedown was cleannn
Dearl Lord you've got some of the best wrestlers on the planet here. With the coaches, wrestlers, and you've got Jordan Burroughs on the Mike and Kyle dake on the mat. This tournament had been incredible. The Lee Ramos match was so sick. The Vito vs. RBY was pretty dam amazing as well. RLTW 3/75
Yianni,,,, the man, the myth, the legend…. What an athlete
Yianni is our next Gold Medal winner, for sure.
Hurting for Sasso man. He is such a good guy, any other opponent he has a natty.
Most exciting wrestler I've seen in years! Congratulations, Yanni!
I can’t believe how flexible these guys knees are😮
Congrats, Yianni!!! Congrats, Sasso!
Man I really want to see another angle of the end of the match. It looked like Sasso was behind him.
It just shows how competitive wrestling is that Sasso pushed Yianni. Even with Yianni's international freestyle experience. Sasso wants an NCAA title. Yianni wants an Olympic gold.
Y.D . --a class act all day!!! Love you bro
Bro this man is nasty this whole match!!! Beautifully done!
One of best ever section 5 guy out of rochester ny great job yanni always the best
Sammy is my wrestling idol
Good match, congrats to Yianni!
Congratulations Yanni & Sasso!!
Great match 💯
watching yanni’s leg go side ways, mine would’ve broke😂
“yianni, totally committed to the ride. nope nvm”
Yianni Diakomihalis!!! Great match Sammy!!! Wow.
Best way to end the championships
Sammy might be the slowest starter to a season but definitely finishes strong when it matters. Watching his first matches to his seasons idk if it's his cardio or what.
Yianni D owns Ohio State. It’s been a pleasure to watch his college career. It’s only up from here.
Great wrestlers. Great careers. Great match. Bummed Gomez wasn’t there for a rematch.
He was there, he just lost early
@@tylernicholson1155 Gomez was wrestling injured.
As bad as I wanted Meredith to beat him in the finals as a freshman makes that match so much more apart of a incredible career hat's off 👏
That front head spring/ Granby roll, 6:13 mean asab yanni didn’t care he knew how much it would hurt and did it anyway for the 2
As soon as the ankle was free there was no hesitation
Honestly I don't think it hurt anyone. It was, however, incredibly impressive. I'm still not sure how it worked, or how he had the confidence to execute that and know it would work. Absolutely crazy move
Gutted for Sasso man.
Sasso got upsetted earlier in the year but he always shows up when it counts
Love to see Section V on top of the world!
7:55-8:02 it looks like Yanni could have his knee snapped/dislocated...is nothing potentially dangerous in college wrestling? I get he's flexible but that looks like it hurts so bad.
STUDS!!
Yianni's cradle won him his first championship, it's only fitting that it won him his last
Bro started gripping dat boodie 😏 10:17
I hate when top comments spoil outcomes. Some of us are watching it this way because we missed it live and want the excitement too. Thanks
Bro that's on you. It's so easy to avoid the comment section on UA-cam. Especially if you're watching on your phone. Pick your vid, turn your phone sideways and voila!
Hate the fact that you can read
To be great at this level, you gotta be training with sharks 4-5yrs older than you. Yanni was training with the Cornell wrestling team while he was in high school. Sad to say this is a privilege sport now..steel sharpens steel PERIOD...
God is shining through this man and he's destined for greatness
Great !
Sasso got out scrambled. Also, on a guy like Yianni you can't just dive in on an ankle and expect to finish, his defense is too good. You have to take a well timed shot straight to a finish, Sasso's style just doesn't match up well.
Gianni won bc he’s more cute 🥰
Sassy would be really good at BJJ and MMA
Yianni in phenomenal shape here. Looked like an Olympian. Respect to Sasso, kids a hammer. Yianni continuing to show maturity, hes better every tournament.
Yessir cornel
Impressive
Really thought if Sasso had 5 more seconds he gets that take down at the end. too much Defense again.
tbf though if Yianni had 5 more seconds in the 2nd he might have been able to get that cradle turned over again. Both of them are top notch scramblers and defenders. Was a great match.
@@MrGuanYu1 right...im saying that b/c buckeye wrestlers could always use 5 more seconds. love sasso but his bread and butter move is a long drawn out take down - ha!
Bro I think that was 2 at the end by sasso
Almost. Literaly needed like 2 more seconds.
Still don’t know why they didn’t challenge it.
If you look closely you can see Yianni's arms wrapped around Sammy's leg, so there was no way he could have stepped around and gotten the 2.
@@Zion122 sasso still had yianni’s head AND arm. Even though Yianni had his leg, that still should technically be two. And he was pretty much all the way behind at that time.
If Spider Man and Bruce Banner had a child...
***** spoiler block ****
Great match but ref makes a huge blunder only give 2 for td in the cradle positionb
In a main event fight the challenger is introduced first and made to wait as the champ enters.
why does Yianni Diakomihalis have to wait and watch the challenger Sasso enter with all of the BS involved ?
Idk man tht was two at the end no cap 😂
I think that was 2 at the end.
Damn he beat McKenna then Sasso
I think he tied it up
Oklahoma State should fire John Smith and hire Kyle Dake. Every hot HS wrestler in the country who doesn't want to wrestle for Cael would want to wrestle for Kyle.
John smith is one of the best
@@crispy3685 John Smith's team hasn't won an NCAA title in 17 years, and has only finished as high as 2nd twice in that span. It's time he was fired and replaced.
Who was the former president there that day?
Drumpf
@@bennettsiler4270 says a dude who's first name is Bennett 😅. Bennett😂.
Sasso never committed shot just played defense grabbing a leg holding could of been called for stalling for a point never was behind yanni at end of match if want longer yanni would of got take down too good of scrambler go sasso
Yianni is built like Mike wazowski
😂
Nah that two at the end
Oh wwow
A lot of these counters don't work in freestyle.
Doesn't sassohave eligibility still with the covid claus?
he got shot
Yianni cradles and turns Sasso in the national finals... commentators compliment Sasso 4 times😂
Add all the Homers at ESPN could talk about ALL tournament was Lee (before the lose) and Carr (before he lost). The REAL STORY was ALWAYS Yanni.
I mean Spencer was going for his 4th as well and was undefeated going into the tournament
@@dillonmackay683 I get that but the coverage was so lopsided it was easy to see. They put all their eggs in Lee's basket and blew it.
Gotta finish your shots. Head down on the mat holding onto the leg ain't it
Bro please hush. I hate you mfs who swear to be gurus behind a screen
These dudes would literally wax your ass and you’re sitting here tryna give lesson. Sit down somewhere bru. 🤦🏽♂️🤌
Yianni may have won his 4th but certainly did not wrestle like the 4x champions before him. For being so dominant he wrestled soft. His team mate put him to shame. So disappointing to see him go out with a whimper.
That was a takedown at the end for sasso that's bs
They should’ve challenged it. I’d like to to see if he got it or not?
Came here because people somehow think that this guy would beat Khabib in grapping
You people really just don't understand. This is amateur when it comes to the Dagestani Sambo Champs. It's fucked.
i remember meeting Yianni when he was a freshman and I was a junior at cornell. he walked by our party and was surprised that me and my friends knew who he was. he’s of course really become a star in the wrestling world since then but in any case, i’m grateful to have witnessed his college career. go big red 🥲
The spartan was to much for Sasso
