No. Not even close.
And it's arguably easier to be as dominant as Lee is as Cael was in the upper weights.
And even though Gable did lose to Owings, it's important to remember that Gable had the lead but went for the pin and got loose. Gable is, however you feel about Iowa, a total boss. He's still my #2 behind Cael.
That Uetake guy from Okie State was said to be amazing.
The fact you got in some long runs tells me you didn’t devote quite enough time to the pubs.

Cael, Hodge, Gable are the top three for me. Spencer is definitely top 10, arguably top 5, but he’s not supplanting any of my top 3.
That's been very evident every time Brooks has faced Romero this year. First in the PSU-tOSU dual meet in early Feb (probably the most egregious example). Then again at the B1G tourney. And now again at the NCAA tourney.
The tactic is Romero's best chance to win, but the refs allow it continue for far too long.
We used to get the teaberry from the Michaux State Forest. Also a good place to source watercress soup.
Where I really want to go, is the Shetland Islands north of Scotland.
No. They aren't that close to Dake let alone Cael.
Next year get ESPN+ if you can. Never miss a Penn State match. Best to have laptop and tv with espn app
The only way. Big plus you don't have to listen to announcers and watch commercials.
My Columbia guy Matt Kazmir just lost on a defensive pin to Hines. What a way to go out.
Vinnie Zerban doing some work on the back side. That loss looking less bad with every W. LOL.
I can’t believe how often lee has been tossed to his back this year, it’s playing with fire.
but then he punishes them for it too.

Wild scramble with Ramirez coming out on top, good battle by both PK and Ramirez there. Crazy that match was not even a blood round match up
Another Hawkeye bites the dust. Damn, that never ceases to feel good to type out.
And Kennedy is done. Our friends didn’t seem to comprehend what 165 was this year.
Lee is a certified stud. But he's lost from time to time. And he's been pinned. Both of those factors must be considered in the big picture - heck he gave up more back points in today's bout than I gave up in my entire career. And his body hasn't held up, which has limited his matches and effected his performances.
It's enough that he's being included in the conversation.
I know I'm an old fart, but my #1 (excluding Cael) remains Yojiro Uetake - a legend in his own time - which happened to be my time too.

What? Ironburd's NC contender lost?
