2026 Men's Freestyle International Wrestling Rankings

Pound-For-Pound - Abdulrashid Sadulaev

Zaurbek Sidakov lost to Inalbek Sheriev at the Ali Aliyev. That loss drops Sidakov to #10, but Sidakov is kept from falling further due to his career resume that includes wins over Jordan Burroughs, Kyle Dake, Kota Takahashi, Taimuraz Salkazanov, Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov, and several other top wrestlers. 

David Baev dropped out of the top 20 after losing to Ibragim Ibragimov at the Friendship Cup dual. Shamil Sharipov slides into the 20 spot with the opening left by Ibragimov. Sharipov won bronze at the World Championships and has victories over Giorgi Meshvildishvili and Wyatt Hendrickson since then.
