One of the greatest wrestlers of his generation joins Weighing In!

On this episode, Josh Thomson sits down with world champion wrestler Kyle Dake for an in-depth conversation covering his legendary wrestling career, life outside the sport, and what's next as he prepares for another huge RAF Wrestling event.

Kyle discusses whether he sees himself becoming a college coach after his competitive career, balancing family life while competing at the highest level, his move to 86kg for the World Championships, and the evolution of wrestling through RAF Wrestling.

The conversation also dives into NCAA eligibility changes, reclassing, how RAF Wrestling is helping grow the sport, and whether wrestling should embrace more entertainment and showmanship or stay true to its traditional roots.

Kyle breaks down his upcoming opponent, Vladimir Gamkrelidze, previews his July 11 RAF Wrestling match, answers fan questions—including how a prime Kyle Dake would fare against Bo Nickal and Henry Cejudo—and reveals whether he ever seriously considered making the transition to MMA.

If you're a fan of wrestling, MMA, or elite-level competition, this is an interview you won't want to miss.
