Kennedy Blades

They left it all out there on the mat.

And, you know, the, the two point win was, for the team 137 135 right like it's the difference that was made in those last couple of seconds to chase these things down and to go after them and to get them and you know we we've talked about Helen a good bunch we've talked about Kennedy blades but I also feel like Kennedy blades is going to be in this same position that Helen is currently in now where we'll look back and, you know, we'll look back at that Olympic run where she's throwing people for five and saying, remember that, right? And now she's the veteran on the team as she continues to grow into one of the just like absolute perennial powerhouses that we've seen.

And, you know, her being able to bounce back and come back and be absolutely dominant.

I mean, giving up four points after getting pinned, she wins, what is it? 22 to four combined between repressage and bronze medal match.

And so I went and watched, uh, everest and and abigail netty's finals with her so that was really cool just to be able to do that and for her to see you know the level that these that these women are on so i i found that very enjoyable to be able to to share that with her

yeah

i i feel like this might be a crazy no it's not crazy i'm saying it i don't care kennedy blades is still the best women's wrestler at that weight in the world in my eyes i think she just got caught i think if that doesn't happen she i mean she's got to be pissed that's why she took it out on everybody on the back side of the bracket you know um and yeah she'll be fine she'll be she'll be just fine um i think it realistically everybody in the world needs to be a little bit afraid of what that's going to look like in the olympics next year although to the olympics we're going to have I mean, some really, really good wrestlers battling for that spot.

We're condensing all the weight classes too.

And then all of a sudden in the third round, bam.

eight points and pulled the head to tie it almost almost upset nickel nickel um great matchup congratulations to bone nickel taking that all right the next match i'm not even sure if i should really go too deep into it it was the women's middleweight championship match undefeated unscored upon kennedy blades taking on russian Here's one where I might not be able to necessarily pronounce, but Vussala Parfianovic.

I think I did pretty well on that one.

So, again, Kenny Blades is a beat.

Brock Lesnar is the most decorated combat athlete in this lifetime.

But If you don't know who Brock Lesnar is, look him up.

Kennedy Blades is that female Brock Lesnar.

I'm not saying looks wise.

You know what I mean? There is like a lot of those guys, the men and women, had to fly straight from Vegas to Kazakhstan.

I mean, would you want Kennedy Blades wrestling at U23? She could have.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

It's not getting MMA stars who have brand recognition and equity with us, the MMA fan, to come over and wrestle for 90 seconds and have these squash matches.

You have to get over those Kennedy Blades, Kyle Dake, Michael Caliendo, Jordan Burroughs type of wrestlers.

And this concerns me.

Pettis versus Arman concerns me.

She was a good sport.

Also tomorrow, Kennedy Blades and Precious Weezer.

So that's our crew tomorrow.

Okay.

It's going to be amazing.

Kennedy Blades versus Bella Mir.

That is the daughter of Frank Mir.

Armand's on this card as well.

Backstory.

He's a very, very interesting cat.

Kennedy Blades.

You know, she's like the beauty and the beast.

There's maybe what one or two is the max that I've seen there, maybe three, but getting more women's matches on there and you're around them.

and you see them and you're around the Kennedy Blades or you or whoever else it is, they're incredible, just like I had that experience.

So the more you can get those experiences for people one-on-one, in person, be around them, I think that's the selling point.

And I think that's going to turn the corner for women's wrestling.

Like there's so many things that you can learn and just take like stylistically or men- men- like mentality-wise, um, from all these different people.

Kennedy Blades, and like, okay, these are female wrestlers-

Oh

...

Very technical.

Uh, especially Amit Elor recently, wow, just dominance, just such a, such a good wrestler.

You have Helen, you have Kenny B- uh, Kennedy Blades, et cetera.

Now, the physical toll of grappling across both, uh, judo and Sambo, there's no doubt it's immense, okay? We, we agree.
