Zahid doesn't concede a point and almost techs his way to his first World Championship. 7-0 against Ghasempour as well!
Beyond impressive. Makes me wonder if Dake could have also gotten it done at 86 kg. The man was more competitive with Valencia than any of these dudes at worlds.
Snyder up tomorrow with Sadulaev and Tazhudinov in his bracket. Seems crazy that Sadulaev isn't even seeded but he was "only" world champ at 92 kg last year not 97.
Also Hendrickson with the Grade A fuckup in the second period when he was down 4-8. Went for a head pinch turn WTF when Kurbanov had his arm posted on the mat on that side, so Hendrickson just took himself down then allowed 2 gutwrenches to lose by tech and get eliminated. I don't think Steveson would have made that mistake and he should have been the man at 125 kg had he actually decided what he wanted to be when he grows up. But apparently backing out of jiujitsu matches and winning MMA fights with turf toe is more important.
