Domestic Men's Freestyle Rankings

Pound For Pound

This was by far the hardest "weight" to rank this update. Gable Steveson comes in ahead of Jordan Burroughs. While Burroughs is an Olympic champ himself and has six World titles to his name as well, he his domestic losses to Chance Marsteller last year and Kyle Dake in 2021 keep him behind Gable. Dake's wins over Burroughs and his four World titles put him ahead of Gable despite his Olympic bronze compared to Gable's gold.

Jordan Oliver (MMA), Alec Pantaleo (loss to Jacob Butler), and Joey McKenna (loss to Nick Lee) come out, making room for Aaron Brooks and Nick Lee. Valencia drops from #10 to #16 and Brooks comes in one spot ahead of Valencia. Lee takes over #20, which was occupied by Pantaleo.
