Another member of Team USA, Niko Koliastasis, unfortunately tore his biceps during his 1st match and had to withdraw from the championshp early.

Mr. Koliastasis is now a 3 times World Champion and the 1st American to enter the Combat Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Up and Coming

MVP of the Combat Wrestling Worlds 2019 went to Steven Ramos (USA), for winning all his matches by submission, under 1 min.

(Mr. Ramos also won the 1st Combat Wrestling invitational tournament, King of 175 on March 17th 2019).

Benjamin Molnar (HUN) is the 62 kg World Champion, after going through one of the toughest brackets of the entire competition. Definitely a name to keep an eye on.
