Chris Weidman: 2x All american for Hofstra University, placed sixth in 2001 FILA Cadet Nationals( Commonly referred to as Fargo, biggest and toughest tournament at the high school level hands down) 2x JUCO all-american for Nassau Community college placing third twice(2003-2004) at 2006 NCAA's went on an absolute tear beating #1 seed Wynn Michalak, who's currently top 10 in the domestic freestyle rankings and has beaten Olympic champ Jake Varner, then in the quarterfinals he beat Ryan Bader(8th seed), and in the semi-finals he lost to Jake Rosholt who finished his collegiate career as a 3x national champion so there's no shame in that. In the 2007 season Weidman had a 28-7 record and got a win over Phil Davis, and come the NCAA tournament he turned it on again beating All-americans Jerry Rinaldi, 2013 world team member J.D.

65 KG
65 KG: at this weight it’s a bit of a ******* mess a lot of really good 70 KG’s are coming down so it messes with the weight quite a bit, 70’s coming down to 65 are Yakup Gor, Israil Kasumov, Azamat Nurikov, James Green, and lots of guys have had some weird losses after worlds for example Ikhityor Navruzov losing to Amit Dhankar at Indian Pro Wrestling League among his loses at the intercontinental cup have him dropping low in this ranking

74 KG: notice lack of Jumber Kvelashvili and addition of Gazimagomedov and Yazdani Charati who are both coming up to 74 KG, Kurbanov is really low because all the other guys above him out did him at worlds and have better credentials throughout the year, Howe is #10 because of his win over Ghasemi along with career wins over Kiril Tirziev and Soslan Tigiev, Purevjav falls due to losses at Indian Pro Wrestling League to Livan Lopez and Narsingh Yadav expect to see Purevjav keep going down.

97 KG’s: Welcome Reza Yazdani back to the rankings at #6, he is a 2 time world champ and has wins over Gadisov, Gazumov, Marsagashvili, and Varner but his bad loss to Sharif Sharifov at the world cup this year and a 2012 loss to Elizbar Odikadze at the world cup back when Odikadze was the back-up to 2008 and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Georgi Gogschlidze keeps him from being in top 5. Khadjimurad Gatsalov moving back down to 97 and comes in at #5.
