Good for him.... feel good story, love that guy. Hope we wins again.

His chances are slim.

I’m going with slim as well, but I’m happy that he seems motivated and in a good place in life. Side note, could this be the greatest wrestler that ever lived?

I'll be watching.

A friend was the number one or two guy in the country at his weight for several years in the early 90's. He came back for the 2000 Olympic trials and teched in the first round. Time is a bitch for everyone and worse than that for wrestlers

Didn't even show up for weigh ins
He didn’t make weight in 2012. I guess he knew he couldn’t make it today. He’s in Vegas so I’m curious as to how close he got, but I guess we’ll never know.

Hr posted that he got within 15lbs but body was adversely reacting. Med team told him to give it up. Bummer but tough to cut like that at 51

Good for him. I hope this has given him the motivation to keep training and continue getting healthy.
