Abdulrashid Sadulaev Pins Defending World Champion Kyle Snyder to Avenge 2018 World Title Loss

Kyle Snyder's world-title streak is over. The man known as "Captain America" finished the 2018 men's senior freestyle world championships with a silver medal after he was pinned by "Russian Tank" Abdulrashid Sadulaev just 72 seconds into the match.

Prior to his loss to Snyder in Paris a year ago, Sadulaev was undefeated on the world's biggest stage, with a pair of world championships and an Olympic gold to his own credit, and like Snyder, riding a three-year gold medal streak. Snyder snapped that streak and extended his own, and in so doing set the stage for one of the biggest rematches of all time.
