Frank Molinaro has once again proved the doubters wrong.
This weekend the Gorilla Hulk put together a collection of great wins which resulted in one extremely clutch performance.
He started with a win over 2014 European bronze medalist Magomed Muslimov of Azerbaijan and India’s Rajneesh on the first day.
He followed it up with a big win over Iran’s two-time World medalist #4-Seyed Mohammadi 4-3 after trailing early. Molinaro was able to secure a pair of takedowns late in the match to get the win.
Then—when you thought he couldn’t top that performance—he did just that, claiming his second ranked win when he defeated #10-Zurab Lakobishvili of Georgia 4-4 on criteria. Molinaro had to overcome a second period deficit to get the big win as Team USA fought for third place.
With some huge wins Frank Molinaro finished off his weekend undefeated and is our FloWrestler of the Week.
