Verk up on 6 because hey, why not. I think this is his fourth match in 90 minutes.
I hope he has time to monitor his blood sugar ...
Verk went up 4-0, then gave up a TD and an exposure off that TD in the second, going behind on criteria. With under 10 seconds left he was given a step out point, which he looked to earn, though from the camera angle it's hard to tell. Brick thrown, but 5-4 Verk with 4 seconds left if challenge denied.
And it's denied. Verk gets hit with a caution for going in reverse with only 4 seconds to go but he holds on to win 5-4.

Dang. Major props to Verk, he’s putting in some serious wrestling this morning. Pantaleo next will be a tough test, but he’s showing some serious grit with all these back to back.
Yeah. I think he makes a big jump this coming year and we're gonna be happy with him. Rumor has it, he's doing a WWE Battle Royale tonight as well.
Bo pinned Jamal Lewis after going feet to back, twice even, the first time was deemed a step out before Bo threw him.
I am sure that guy Bo wrestled has talent but holy Bo! It looked like he was wrestling a 4th grader out there.
Nico up on 1 against Paul Glynn. He's looked really good his last few times out in FS, rebounding nicely from last year's trials disappointment.
Nico makes quick work of Glynn, 10-0. Three TD, two exposure.
Meanwhile, Josh Rodriguez, coming off a Pan Am gold, up on Zane Richards 3-0 midway through first on Mat 11. Richards wins a nice scramble to cut the lead, but JRod (I think I can say that, right?) goes right back at a leg and wins the step out point. 4-2 at break.
Richards spins behind from crackdown position and goes ahead 4-4 on criteria. JRod right back with a step out, 5-4, and then another, 6-4. Richards gets a leg and converts at edge, goes back up 6-6. And JRod right back with a step out, 7-6. Richards with another TD, 8-7, and time running out, can't get gut. :08 left. That's how it ends. Richards 8-7, great match.

Thanks to Tikk for the updates !!!!!
You won't believe this, but I actually wrote that, before changing it.
ZR has definitely reshaped his body type since his folkstyle days.
Nolf again looking aggressive but not overcommitting on his shots. Finally catches an ankle and goes up 2-0. Clarke now in on a double and Nolf winn-dixies him (who said he can't bring folk to freestyle?) for two exposure, nearly pinning him. Then another two, followed by two turns for the 10-0 tech.
Vito Arjuau up 13-10 on Jesse Delgado. Wish I'd caught the beginning of that. :43 left in second. 14-10 final, with Delgado looking to turn it into a UFC bout toward the end.
Bo up on 2, Patrick Rhoads. Don't blink.
I said don't blink. Nine seconds for the fall.

Heil upsets McKenna. 12-9
McKenna was 3 seed and would have been Zain’s semi draw if things went to chalk at 65.
