2025 Men's Freestyle International Wrestling Rankings

57 kg - Spencer Lee

Spencer Lee takes over the top spot at 57 kg after Rei Higuchi stated he will not be competing this year.

Gulomjon Abdullaev drops two spots after suffering a loss to #12 Rakhat Kalzhan. Abdullaev holds his spot at #4 due to his established resume. Abdullaev won a bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics and holds past wins over Amand Sehrawat, Arsen Harutyunyan, Chongsong Han, and several other top 20 wrestlers at 57 and 61 kg.

Luke Lilledahl slides up to #5 after Higuchi's removal, and Zelimkhan Abakarov and Arsen Harutyunan moving up to 61 kg. Lilledahl recently dominated his way to a US Open title and holds two past wins over #7 Lev Pavlov. Pavlov has finished second at 2024 Russian Nationals and at the 2025 Yarygin. Pavlov has also traded wins with Nachyn Mongush who recently won the 2025 European Championships with wins over Azamat Tuskaev and Islam Bazarganov.
