2026 Men's Freestyle International Wrestling Rankings

Pound-For-Pound - Amir Zare

Kyle Snyder moves up to #6 after defeating Abdulrashid Sadulaev at RAF 11. Despite the loss, Snyder fails to move higher because of his recent loss to Stephen Buchanan. Also, the pound-for-pound takes into account a fuller scope of an athlete's career. Sadulaev is 4-2 in his career against Snyder, so he stays at the #3 spot.

Zaurbek Sidakov drops out of the pound-for-pound after losing to Inalbek Sheriev in the Russian Nationals finals. That's Sidakov's third loss this year and moves him out of the top 20. 

Ibragim Kadiev comes into the open spot left by Sidakov. Kadiev is undefeated since Worlds and has several significant wins in that period of time.
