Wrestling breakdown, Part 1: 2018 World champion Zaurbek Sidakov
United World Wrestling/Gabor Martin In 2018, the freestyle World title race at 74 kg in Budapest was between two global superstars - Jordan Burroughs and Italy’s Cuban transfer, Frank Chamizo Marquez. If you need a refresher on the career of Jordan Burroughs, look no further.
Chamizo broke out on the international stage wrestling for his native Cuba at 55 kg, where he won World bronze in 2010.
Years later, Chamizo reemerged as a contender, representing Italy at 65 kg. He won the esteemed Yasar Dogu in 2014 before stunning the world, claiming 2015 World gold with a win over Olympic champion Asgarov and a pin over World silver Mohammadi on his way to the finals.
