Jordan Burroughs is now the most decorated American wrestler of all-time
Over the last 11 years, American freestyle wrestler Jordan Burroughs has staked his claim as one of the greatest competitors in U.S. wrestling history.
Using his signature double-leg takedown, Burroughs, a 2012 Olympic gold medalist in the 74 kg division, defeated Iran’s Mohammad Nokhodi, 4-2, to win the men’s freestyle 79 kg title at the World Championships in Belgrade. The victory secured the legend’s first 79kg title and a record seventh combined Olympic/World title, breaking a tie with John Smith for the most ever by an American wrestler.
