imagine if there was that kinda fan support in the U.S.
Isagadjiev defeated Buvaisar Saitiev at Russian Nationals that year.
The match was conservative until Hajizadeh took control of a front headlock and used an unorthodox go behind which Isagadjiev attempted to counter by rolling back a la Kendall Cross.
One of three finalists from Iran Hajizadeh was the lone champion.
I actually think the most impressive thing about this match is the crowd. Check it out at the end. Unbelievable.
Enjoy.
