#31	Aerk October 29 at 2:09pm no, hadi s father was wrestler too but the guy you mentioned is emamAli habibi,someone diffrent. reply
#30	Arm-spin October 19 at 4:02pm I humbly request more greco matches at some point in the future.. I don't really know greco history enough to think of specific matches; the only one I can think of off-hand is Samargashuev vs Cuban at the 2002 worlds, where the Russian hit a 5 pt throw right at the end to win... Karelin matches would be cool too. reply
#29	Mike James October 17 at 1:45pm kidding obviosley...all though it would be awesome reply
#28	Mike James October 17 at 1:45pm Martin Floreani said: “Satiev Saturdays would be sweet. Poetry in motion.” i think i deserve ya no a cut of flows income or an award dedicated to mike james even though its not my real name cuz of my idea for satiev saturdays reply
#27	5pointdouble October 17 at 8:00am Because back at the time there was par terre, if it was given out like a caution where the more aggressive wrestler could choose to put the other wrestler down or keep them up. He had more time as kinda like a punishment where as when hadi took saitiev down he had about as much time as you normally would, i hope that made it clear reply
#26	Get 2 The Legs And Score October 16 at 10:28pm Why did the ref give Buvaisar 20 min for a turn and the other dude 2.3 seconds? reply
#25	Arm-spin October 16 at 4:22pm Saitiev has lost to Murtazaliev a couple of times, to another Russian at the nationals a few years back, to Ganev, to Slay, and to at least one guy while wrestling up at 84... BTW thewrestlingtalk.com has a ton of Saitiev matches on it for those looking for more. reply
#24	Martin Floreani October 16 at 1:02pm Satiev Saturdays would be sweet. Poetry in motion. reply
#23	Mike James October 16 at 10:45am who has satiev lost 2? reply
#22	CV October 16 at 3:59am Saitiev Saturdays!!! mad respect for our brother in wrestling out there in Russia, 2 international losses and 2 domestic losses since 1995. Yikes. reply
#21	Star October 15 at 8:29pm Yeah no doubt that saitiev would have made Askren look like a little boy amongst men but I like askrens style and colossal ego,makes watching him wrestle a little more interesting...both are 2 of my top favorites to watch. reply
#20	Askren October 15 at 8:20pm It would have been amusing to watch Saitiev dismantle Askren and his colossal ego. reply
#19	DaveP October 15 at 8:16pm Bring on the Saitiev Saturdays! I know it will be more work for you Guru, but it would be greatly appreciated. In addition the Guru section is by far my favorite on flow...I really look forward to Thursdays, thanks for all your work Craig. reply
#18	Anonymous Coward October 15 at 7:09pm I must have Saitiev Saturdays! reply
#17	Sly October 15 at 6:18pm nice my man, you can never go wrong with saitiev. side note - is the name also spelled saytiev? wich is correct? i can never get enough of this guy. i see alot of dave schultz in his wrestling. reply
#16	JLS October 15 at 5:40pm I agree - Bring on Satiev saturdays!! I wonder if the Satiev's know or care that they have a USA fan base ? reply
#15	Star October 15 at 3:02pm Bring on satiev saturdays!! reply
#14	5pointdouble October 15 at 1:38pm Yes quick thanks for the match, especially with B saitiev you can not go wrong. and i am also voting for saitiev saturdays. also for next week may request for terry brands and ali reza dabir? reply
#13	Yes October 15 at 1:03pm here's my vote for saitiev saturdays! reply
#12	Anonymous Coward October 15 at 12:42pm Very nice match. Interestingly Satiev hits a variation of the west point ride at around 3:00 mark. Not legal anymore in collegiate style but an interesting way to score a turn... reply
#11	Sonny Close October 15 at 12:21pm some of those turns were as close to a chess match as your gonna see on a wrestling mat, and thats saying something. reply
#10	Casey October 15 at 11:20am ttt for Satiev Saturday reply
#9	Mike James October 15 at 10:56am i say we start having a satiev saturday...thatd be awesome reply
#8	Jordan Stepleton October 15 at 10:55am This is why I am starting to move into freestyle. I love the freestyle wrestlers technique. Great match. Cheers Guru! reply
#7	Arm-sp October 15 at 10:33am Good example of a great wrestler adapting to accomodate an injury. Saitiev's gut wrench/west point combo looks really painful. If I remember correctly the final vs Gaidrov went much the same way, Saitiev trying to tie up and Gaidrov having none of it, but neither guy was able to score so it went to ref's decision. on a related note, anyone know how Saitiev/Gaidrov went in 2004? I know there was controversy and a fight but I don't know details of the match itself. reply
#6	Aaron Gibson October 15 at 10:25am Shawn...please contact me... 513-934-5150 Aaron Gibson lebanon Wrestling reply
#5	Shawn Enright October 15 at 10:20am I wonder if this is the son/grandson of the Habibi that wrestled Doug Blubaugh in the 60 Olympics. Anyone? reply
#4	Mark Bader October 15 at 9:46am In the words of Mike Krause... The dude is just siiiiiiiick, thanks Guru! reply
#3	Bulgarian_ WHRHS October 15 at 9:27am Yea i was gona say that Saitiev's style in this match was much different than other matches of him. Great action! reply
#2	Craig Vitagliano October 15 at 8:48am Semi Final of the 2003 World Championships between Buvaisar Satieiv and Hadi Habibi. It was a hard fought match with some decent action on the feet and some nice pare terre turns by Saitiev. Just for some background, Saitiev had broken a bone in his face in an earlier match against AUS. It was pretty nasty. Could be a reason why he looked a bit cautious and tried to tie up Habibi in order to limit any more injury to that area. That said, the strategy, if it was in fact his strategy, worked and he was able to draw some cautions on Habibi and put him down and work some turns. Joe Williams had lost to Habibi 2nd round of the tounament when he got hit with a throw from the clinch. Overall it was a good match and you gotta love the Iranian fans. They cheer for the Americans too. reply
#1	Mike James October 15 at 8:26am doesnt look like typical satiev reply
