I’ve spoken to Coach Slay about this match, and he himself considers Buvaisar Saitiev to be one of the best wrestler’s of all time. All love and respect
LOL...I mean, you didn't need to personally talk to Slay's coach to get that bit of info. It's pretty well known Saitiev is one of the 2-3 all time greats(Sadulaev may have passed him and Medved up now).
@Vast Emptiness Is he? Is there some subjective chart I don't know about? Saludaev bumped up and lost once to Snyder. But he won titles both Olympic and World before that. SNYDER would probably be considered one of the top 10 ever if not for him. That's who Saludaev has lost to. Saitiev lost to a guy who went 0-2 at the D1s. I think there's a pretty strong case he's already passed him and Medved up. The Slay lose is like Michigan losing to Appalachian State. The Snyder loss is like Bama losing to Clemson.
@@scourge8097 saitiev still has 3 golds to Sadulaev’s 2, not to mention more world titles. You also have to remember the fact that 74kg is a much more stacked weight class than 97kg, so it makes what Saitiev accomplished that much more impressive. Not knocking Sadulaev at all though, I like the guy
It's unfortunate this thread has to turn into a flame war. Brandon Slay wrestled well this match, and as an American, I cheer him on. But I respect Saitiev for the legendary wrestler he is. It is foolish to predict which country will have the best wrestlers...as the above video shows, even a great "untouchable" wrestler can lose to someone like Slay, a wrestler from Texas of all places, who set his mind on winning. Lets focus instead on keeping the sport alive, no matter where we are from.

Slay did what he had to do, find a way to score in overtime. Saitiev is probably the GOAT but it doesn't mean he can't be beaten on any particular day. A great moment for Brandon!
This is the biggest upset in Wrestling to me. Slay TOOK Saitiev down. Rulon...impressive(though I just can't put Greco accomplishments on the same level as Freestyle). But Saitiev...is the GOAT...or at least was. Sadulaev may have passed him up. I think Snyder getting another win over him may top Slay, but it wouldn't be viewed like that because he's already beaten him. But that guy is the most incredible wrestler ever.

he is coaching and being successful in whatever he chooses to do. his victory over saitiev was perhaps his finest athletic achievement. he shocked the world but mostly shocked saitiev.
Сайтиев в тот год, к сожалению, не успел восстановиться после травмы. Подобное может случиться с любым спортсменом, когда он не в лучшей форме. Американец страдал херней весь поединок, если не считать броска в начале, грязновато боролся, местами вообще пассивен был, на мой взгляд, а судья недостаточно реагировал. Вся дальнейшая карьера Бувайсара Сайтиева лишь подтверждает тот факт, что он один из лучших борцов за всю историю вольного стиля. Соотношение его побед и поражений просто феноменальное: он практически никогда не проигрывал на соревнованиях. а уж три олимпийских золота, это вообще космос.
Если судить по нынешним правилам Сайтиев выигрывает причём с приличной разницей в счёте, он его бросает как мешка.... Эстетика, браво Бувайсар 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Buvaysar is one of the All Time greats, for sure. I have watched him make very good wrestlers look like something he toys with, and he did. Do not disrespect Brandon Slay. It took a perfect match and opponent to defeat the great Satiev one time.
@@cheesecake4292 I don't even know what this means. So you wrestled sick and...because YOU didn't feel it, that means you'd know how OTHERS do...or don't feel it? I'd assume MOST of us in here are Wrestlers. Who the hell else is watching Brandon Slay vs Satiev 25 years(or 20 years) later? Seriously? That's just kinda nonsense.
Classic American vs Russian build for Olympic wrestling Slays arms are way bigger the Russian is lanky and longer but u can tell his grip strength is insane. When i was on the jr Olympic team we wrestled Russia they came and stayed with us and the kid at my weight who edged me in the match was built just like this just the teenager version but he had some beat strength to him!
Slay actually got the silver. He was awarded the gold when the gold medalist popped for steroids, i think it was tyhe german. Nobody cares though because Slay beat the greatest freestyle wrestler EVER in these games, he deserves the gold. And Slay is doing great, hes one of the head coaches for the USA national team to answer the other guy.
Yes...it was. This one ACTUALLY required a TD. 0-2 Barbecue at the NCAA's and Slay end's up beating the best Wrestler ever. Amazing. There's also the myth behind Karelin that's a little silly(nobody had beaten him in 10 years or scored a point on him...both untrue...he'd lost the World Championships until one of those famous Russian challenges in '97 or '98 and had also given up points). But beyond that, Saitiev is the Greatest in what is in my opinion the superior style of Wrestling. If Snyder knocks of Sadulaev...after he's now settled into and dominated 97KG, that would be an upset on that level IMO.
guys, does anybody know how do i need to practice to become better wrestler... what exercises can help to improve... physically... thank you for the answers, sincerely!
No, I mean the defense was very nice. I wish I watched these matches when I was still wrestling could learn much more than a coach just telling you to do Iowa style wrestling. The Russian was a beast and also a smart wrestler. Instead of trying to escape with the wizard and get free. He stepped over beautifully. Never seen that one lol
Бувайсар - самородок, а американец в лучшем случае - талант. Талантов миллионы, самородков единицы. Я вообще вижу в этой схватке войну двух миров, двух принципиально разных способов жить: цель одного - деньги, другого - самосовершенствование. Потому в то время как американец качал мышцы и бегал кроссы с гантелями в носках, Бувайсар оттачивал технику и размышлял о величие Создателя и нашей ответственности перед Ним. И неважно, в конце концов, кому поднял руку судья, ведь в конечном итоге Жизнь приведет Брандона к моменту, когда он осознает тупик, в который зашел - и на спортивной арене и на жизненном пути.

Both of these guys wrestled their goddamn hearts out. I had forgotten what the outcome of this match was, and so was on the edge of my seat. I think Satiev would win the best three out of five, but on this particular day, Brandon Slay just came in ready to fight for it. Satiev actually seemed a little off his game. To me, the intensity of slays defensive wrestling is what won the match.
Бувайсар легенда вольной борьбы и этим все сказано! А кто такой Слай, ноль без палочки, и судья помог ему, весь поединок был пассивным! Грязное судейство!
@lascision Saitiev is quite tall though so adding some muscles could hurt him in making weight. Although in 2008 Olympics he added more strength training - lifting weights etc. As he said more American type of training. But he wasn't young anymore so he might have really needed it.
U guys are ridiculous! Stop arguing which country is better. Saytiev is a high class wrestler. He lost to Slay that day. Good job by Slay. If you are a wrestler, then u must know that everyone loses once in a while. So give both wrestlers respect for good wrestling match. I wanna see more competition from American team of freestyle in international arena. Unfortunately, they are not doing that well yet.

The first minute is all you need to see on who is the better wrestler, Slay took him down with ease while both guys had zero fatigue. Also, there is no way these guys were the same weight. Slay looks like he weighs 10-20 pounds more.
вашему слейю до сих пор не верится, что он "победил", но это не говорит, что он стал великим. КРАСАВЧИК БУВАЙСАР, это художник на ковре, грамотный, техничный, которому многие завидуют.
Сайтиев конечно рекордсмен среди всех титулованных борцов по стажу борцовскому на высшем уровне, а по количеству выигранным турнирам на 100 процентов, я помню Сайтиева когда ему было лет 13 он уже тогда всех побеждал ,хотя боролся в чешках как новичок ( без отца рос денег на борцовски у матери не было) ,но все соревнования выигрывал ,феноменально что он сохранил мотивацию и работоспособность ,его товарищи Матиев, Умахановы быстро сдулись как собственно очень многие .В среднем за 7-10 лет тренировок борец теряет мотивацию и работоспособность . Сайтиев же минимум 26 лет отренеровался при чем без спадов ,не считая этой схватки и других не больших осечек
Saitiev wrestled in 6 world championships and 4 Olympics. This is the only time he lost. Slay never even won a college title. But he upset the champion and went on to win gold
Maybe its just a matter of opinion, but Gable had ZERO losses. He had one loss in college and ZERO losses in any international competition. So he was a completely undefeated wrestler.
Listen to wrestling changed my life podcast. Audio documentary on slay and journey how he defeated saitiev. Best story ever. Will be looking forward watching ur journey to Olympic gold. Keep it up young man.
Saitiev is an amazing wrestler with an pedigree career but Slay also had superlative gifts. He didn't have a long international career but he was outstanding that year.
@SiestaBay239 First of all, Saitiev is from Russia, from Chechen lands. The soviet wrestling school was one of the best (or the best) and nowadays different national schools are keeping to have a high level. Imagine that kids from Saitiev's wrestling school will always have a high level training in a couple of years thanks to exceptional teachers. So you can wait as long as you can to see "even" wrestlers.
As an obvious example, just take 100m running in which USA had a lead in 90s or beginning of 2000s, but a running school in Kingston (opened by old Jamaican athletes) just blew it up with its athletes. And today,nothing shows that Buvaysar or other exceptional Soviet/russian champ will go to US and offer a competitive advantage.
what a terrible camera work. In the middle of the fight, any unimportant spectators are shown. The match lasts a few minutes, can't you set the match as a priority and meanwhile not show viewers who are of no interest to anyone? After the fight, before the fight or in the short breaks, you could show spectators if you really want to. Even the decisive final scene cannot be seen because of this. How absurd
i met brandon slay at the olympic training center and i can say he won because of his pure size over the russian. yes he is a skilled wrestler but he honestly looked like he weighed about 220 when i met him. his ability to cut is unreal
@Aspartan3 may be or may be not. what im saying is you cannot call the best someone, who only has one accomplishment. I don't know why he quit, but he knows that this win was a fluke. Saitiev was way too relaxed because he did know who Brandon Slay was.
I think this is a case of the Russians not scouting Slay at all. They were not prepared for the explosive attacks. But as they say, you snooze you lose.
@infestation69 I'm not saying you gotta change everything about freestyle, but in the current system (not the one used back in 2000) if you are ahead 2-1 in the first period, there is no reason to do anything more in the period. If the score carried over, you'd have motivation to continue to be offensively aggressive. The current scoring system favors a lot of low scoring matches. Whoever scores first in the period then gets very defensive just short of stalling.
@socalstunner3 I agree Saitiev is better than Slay. But on this day, during this match, Slay was better. Also, you're point about a "technicality" is a bit flawed. While Slay was awarded the gold after losing, he was awarded it because his opponent tested positive for steroids. This is not a "technicality," it is a rule-- and a very clear-cut rule at that. Slay was also tested for steroids and tested clean.
Я вообще считаю что после трёх побед на трёх ОИ Сайтиев должен был сидеть в кресло короля и ждать единственный поединок с победителем этой весовой категории ,а то видите как радуется Слэй этой победы как будто он одержал победу в финале ,просто почему я так рассуждаю ,чтоб выйти против такого великого борца это уже удача а если ещё и победить против него то тогда считай что твоя карьера борца удалась ,удачи всем .......Да здравствует величайший король борьбы Бувайсар Сайтиев !!!!
So Brandon knew that Satiev wasn't going to able to defend his powerful double and the gut wrench. Slays two best moves was the double leg and the gut wrench. That's how he won the match. Two blast doubles and a gut wrench.
Slay did not really impress me much here, but he won. Saiteiv looked like on a different day the match would have ended differently. That's why we wrestle. Always be on your game.
Don't underestimate how good the explosive double legs at the start and in OT were. Satiev makes so many good wrestlers look silly but Slay had excellent defense in this match. This was pretty much to only way to beat Satiev, surprise him at the start and wrestle error-free.
Saitiev is a great wreslter, but he lost this match. A real champion accepts his defeats and learns from, and Saitiev did learn from this. All these russians on here making excuses for Saitiev or putting down Slay are classless and have no clue how to be a real champion or what a real champion is. Slay wrestled well above what was expected, and I'm sure it was because of hard work and dedication. Slay also won more matches at the olympics against other countries top guys.

That looks like a 90° back exposure at 00:38... Where was the 2 for that?
Did they give it to him like 30 seconds later?
@spectrumifs why are people giving thumbs down?
Slay в полном восторге! а ведь это был, даже не финал! А ведь Бусиг мог стать и четырехкратным
U guys are ridiculous! Stop arguing which country is better. Saytiev is a high class wrestler. He lost to Slay that day. Good job by Slay. If you are a wrestler, then u must know that everyone loses once in a while. So give both wrestlers respect for good wrestling match. I wanna see more competition from American team of freestyle in international arena. Unfortunately, they are not doing that well yet.
hey man, are you happy to see what theyre doing now?
@@metzthagoat9219 damn, my comment was 10 years ago. The US team is doing really good now. Let's see what life has in store for us in 2021 World Championship in Oslo soon. Im interested to see Russia vs USA finals.
@@region015 lol i love responding to old comments, and im always shocked as to who still remembers their password. i hope usa does well, yianni specifically
@@region015 were you wrestling when you commented that, 10 years is an absurd amount of time lol
What shoes is saitev wearing?!? I NEED THEM!!
The first minute is all you need to see on who is the better wrestler, Slay took him down with ease while both guys had zero fatigue. Also, there is no way these guys were the same weight. Slay looks like he weighs 10-20 pounds more.
вашему слейю до сих пор не верится, что он "победил", но это не говорит, что он стал великим. КРАСАВЧИК БУВАЙСАР, это художник на ковре, грамотный, техничный, которому многие завидуют.
واقعا بی نظیر کشتی می گرفته لقب اسطوره برازنده اوست
Сайтиев конечно рекордсмен среди всех титулованных борцов по стажу борцовскому на высшем уровне, а по количеству выигранным турнирам на 100 процентов, я помню Сайтиева когда ему было лет 13 он уже тогда всех побеждал ,хотя боролся в чешках как новичок ( без отца рос денег на борцовски у матери не было) ,но все соревнования выигрывал ,феноменально что он сохранил мотивацию и работоспособность ,его товарищи Матиев, Умахановы быстро сдулись как собственно очень многие .В среднем за 7-10 лет тренировок борец теряет мотивацию и работоспособность . Сайтиев же минимум 26 лет отренеровался при чем без спадов ,не считая этой схватки и других не больших осечек
He's #1 for now. The Russian Tank is coming for him...I don't see Sadulaev slowing down.
@@scourge8097 fake "sanctions" can do the job.
@@scourge8097 The "Russian Tank" is not Russian btw. The Russian Tank is Avar as most of the people from Dagestan.
Saitiev wrestled in 6 world championships and 4 Olympics. This is the only time he lost. Slay never even won a college title. But he upset the champion and went on to win gold
Looks like Slay actually stuck him at :43, and maybe the ref was too in shock to call it
@arad412 well no one else has achieved anything greater than what saitiev has in freestyle wrestling, so for now he is arguably the best.
Brandon Slay 1 Gold title - Buvaisar Saitiev world-level gold medals - he and Aleksandr Karelin are the greatest ever
+Fedor Kulikov But he lost to slay so that's what matters. Dan Gable is the greatest ever. Not a single point scored on him in the entire Olympics.
+Tony Gambino karelin went 6 years without a single point scored on him total record was like 888-2 or something research he is the best ever
Jimbo Crackbaby 887-2
Maybe its just a matter of opinion, but Gable had ZERO losses. He had one loss in college and ZERO losses in any international competition. So he was a completely undefeated wrestler.
+Tony Gambino Gables freestyle record was 97-5 not even close he is a great wrestler and an even better coach but use Google
RUSKI NE ZIYUTSA!!! THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT RUSSIANS NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER WILL
Slick magic stick at 3:45 by the GOAT.
I agree...would have been awesome had they called it correctly.
i like watching brandons double legs, they look so overwhelming
I like how Saitiev is always so calm and methodical in his style. Kind of like Brazilian Jiu Jutsu blackbelts if you watch them. All technique.
The takedown in overtime was so Clutch. Mad respect for Slay
Brandon Slay very similar on your new american super-talent Kail Snyder ( 97 kg), which also Defeated all Caucasian Champions ( from Caucas)
Was this the Olympic finals
No. Match in the pool
...Сайтиев ... красавчик 👍
Great blast double to seal the deal!
At 0:22 that looked like a 90° angle; back exposure, 2 points... But the ref didn't see it.
WARRIORS! I hope little wrestlers like me will be watching my fights with excitement in 30 years.
Listen to wrestling changed my life podcast. Audio documentary on slay and journey how he defeated saitiev. Best story ever. Will be looking forward watching ur journey to Olympic gold. Keep it up young man.
Saitiev is an amazing wrestler with an pedigree career but Slay also had superlative gifts. He didn't have a long international career but he was outstanding that year.
shit... Saitiev deserved 4th olimpian gold.
He also "won" gold after Leipold tested positive for steroids... he's not really an Olympic champion.
Saitiev is clearly better.
Steve128967 Which is why he lost...
+Ryan Shaffer One loss does not simply make you better...
@@RS-tz2zn he didnt lose, it was overturned because roidhead slay failed a drug test.
@SiestaBay239 First of all, Saitiev is from Russia, from Chechen lands. The soviet wrestling school was one of the best (or the best) and nowadays different national schools are keeping to have a high level. Imagine that kids from Saitiev's wrestling school will always have a high level training in a couple of years thanks to exceptional teachers. So you can wait as long as you can to see "even" wrestlers.
As an obvious example, just take 100m running in which USA had a lead in 90s or beginning of 2000s, but a running school in Kingston (opened by old Jamaican athletes) just blew it up with its athletes. And today,nothing shows that Buvaysar or other exceptional Soviet/russian champ will go to US and offer a competitive advantage.
Сайтиев - Лев!!!
to beat the greatest wrestler u must be greater, excellent job brandon....
what a terrible camera work. In the middle of the fight, any unimportant spectators are shown. The match lasts a few minutes, can't you set the match as a priority and meanwhile not show viewers who are of no interest to anyone? After the fight, before the fight or in the short breaks, you could show spectators if you really want to. Even the decisive final scene cannot be seen because of this. How absurd
buvaysar is hampiyon🌺🌷❤❤❤
Как бы не прыгал брендон, красавчик БУВАЙСАР техничнее,просто супер вольник!
nice nice !!!!
Екеуыде жаксы куресты сол кездын ережесимен
i met brandon slay at the olympic training center and i can say he won because of his pure size over the russian. yes he is a skilled wrestler but he honestly looked like he weighed about 220 when i met him. his ability to cut is unreal
@Aspartan3 may be or may be not. what im saying is you cannot call the best someone, who only has one accomplishment. I don't know why he quit, but he knows that this win was a fluke. Saitiev was way too relaxed because he did know who Brandon Slay was.
And Kenny Monday and Jordan Burroughs
I think this is a case of the Russians not scouting Slay at all. They were not prepared for the explosive attacks. But as they say, you snooze you lose.
He won the Match and then, you have never see him anyday!
Jordan Burroughs says Hi!
Was Saitiev wrestling up?
No, probably his brother Adam wrestled up.
Excellent defense at 3:41
Then why did he lose?
Xa xa
@infestation69 I'm not saying you gotta change everything about freestyle, but in the current system (not the one used back in 2000) if you are ahead 2-1 in the first period, there is no reason to do anything more in the period. If the score carried over, you'd have motivation to continue to be offensively aggressive. The current scoring system favors a lot of low scoring matches. Whoever scores first in the period then gets very defensive just short of stalling.
Это не 2008 год, вероятно это 2000 год
@socalstunner3 I agree Saitiev is better than Slay. But on this day, during this match, Slay was better. Also, you're point about a "technicality" is a bit flawed. While Slay was awarded the gold after losing, he was awarded it because his opponent tested positive for steroids. This is not a "technicality," it is a rule-- and a very clear-cut rule at that. Slay was also tested for steroids and tested clean.
Я вообще считаю что после трёх побед на трёх ОИ Сайтиев должен был сидеть в кресло короля и ждать единственный поединок с победителем этой весовой категории ,а то видите как радуется Слэй этой победы как будто он одержал победу в финале ,просто почему я так рассуждаю ,чтоб выйти против такого великого борца это уже удача а если ещё и победить против него то тогда считай что твоя карьера борца удалась ,удачи всем .......Да здравствует величайший король борьбы Бувайсар Сайтиев !!!!
So Brandon knew that Satiev wasn't going to able to defend his powerful double and the gut wrench. Slays two best moves was the double leg and the gut wrench. That's how he won the match. Two blast doubles and a gut wrench.
and a help of referee at 4:38 where is clear 2 points for Saitiev
Slay did not really impress me much here, but he won. Saiteiv looked like on a different day the match would have ended differently. That's why we wrestle. Always be on your game.
Don't underestimate how good the explosive double legs at the start and in OT were. Satiev makes so many good wrestlers look silly but Slay had excellent defense in this match. This was pretty much to only way to beat Satiev, surprise him at the start and wrestle error-free.
Saitiev is a great wreslter, but he lost this match. A real champion accepts his defeats and learns from, and Saitiev did learn from this. All these russians on here making excuses for Saitiev or putting down Slay are classless and have no clue how to be a real champion or what a real champion is. Slay wrestled well above what was expected, and I'm sure it was because of hard work and dedication. Slay also won more matches at the olympics against other countries top guys.
3.45min AWSOOOOMe Move By Saitiev !!!
Wauw :)
man that Russian had some sick moves
@P9t2r ...Why? Because defeat and denial make good bedfellows.
good job to the american he was well prepared, but still saitiev was the best fs wrestler in the world
touch fall on that gut wrench
@Pawrestler71 "...if they wrestled 100 times..." If, If, if...the word winners don't need to use.
