2025 Men's Freestyle International Wrestling Rankings

61 kg - Zaur Uguev

Takara Suda won the Budapest Ranking Series tournament after defeating Taiyrbek Zhumashbek Uulu, Assylzhan Yessengeldi, and Giorgi Goniashvili. With those results, Sudak moves up to #4.

Jax Forrest rises to #5 after his win over Vito Arujau. While Arujau was the #1 ranked wrestler prior to this match, Arujau drops to #6 but holds a prior win over Zhumashbek Uulu because of the loss to Forrest and his lack of recent international wrestling results. Beyond that, Forrest doesn't hold the international wins to bring him above wrestlers like Zaur Uguev, Arsen Harutyunyan, and Zelimkhan Abakarov.

Assylzhan Yessengeldi rises to #11 after his bronze medal performance in Budapest. Yessengeldi defeated Seth Gross and also has a previous victory over #7 Zhumashbek Uulu.
