[Krixes]

This thread is for the general discussion of the event RAF 5 Real American Freestyle -- 6:00pm ET. Please add to the discussion here.

Bo Nickal actually opened as a +150 so this is good price on Yoel if you like em...

 

[Krixes]

These be the rules...

Real American Freestyle (RAF) uses modified United World Wrestling (UWW) rules, featuring three 2-minute periods, a 30-second break, and a last-point-wins tiebreaker (no overtime) for faster, fan-friendly action, while emphasizing offense, cracking down on stalling, and adding incentives for big moves, all to elevate elite wrestling with professional production for broader appeal.
Key Rules & Structure

• Periods: Three 2-minute periods (instead of UWW's two 3-minute periods).
• Breaks: 30 seconds between periods.
• Scoring: Standard freestyle points (takedowns, exposures, reversals) plus a shot clock.
• Winning: Pin, technical fall (10-point lead), or highest score at time; ties broken by who scored last.
• Stalling: Strictly penalized, with a second warning leading to disqualification or points.
• Injury Time: Limited (e.g., 2 mins), with penalties for excessive use.

Soooo Arman is currently dealing with a hernia. If it bothers him again he's gonna need surgery. He said this yesterday or something like that...Happened from the Islam camp..

Why is Rockhold such a big underdog to Colby? Is his wrestling that bad?

Man, Idk. He's a great grappler with average wrassling. He's a lot bigger than Colby though.
