Dagestan is often mentioned for Wrestling dominance through MMA..but there's another region that has created a legend long before them: Antalya 🇹🇷 2008- Present (without interruption) : Every Elmalı Oil Wrestling Champion produced came from Antalya/ represented Antalya.

@FilthyTomLawlor What a worker 💀

Pretty sure he was faking it

@jacyjaynewwe Pinned a 14 time world champion on your way to becoming a 16 time world champion 🏆 🙇🏽‍♂️

I pinned a 14 time world champion on my second day 😂😂😂 Keep crying losers.

Fantastic work as always by Akdenizin Başpehlivanları covering today's BEAUTIFUL Oil Wrestling festivities. By far one of my absolute favourite people I've come across. Win or lose, Team @ismailbalaban7 for life 🇹🇷🤼‍♂️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=BB30jK…

@JESnowden Excessive analysis proved me right on Hackenschmidt film existing exactly where I predicted. And I'm fairly certain (not as impossible as some thought) that film of Gotch also exists around that region as well.

@JESnowden Speaking of Hack..did a lot more digging through history and I found what may be another potential Hackenschmidt film. Though, it's only for private viewing.

Wrestling was a huge spectator sport in America before Hulk Hogan was born. Before Hulk Hogan's FATHER was born. I've got to get my Gotch book out to rescue the history of this great sport from the philistines and weird documentaries.

@REVERSAL7x I hope they gradually update link charges with their future changes. Feels like such a waste relying heavily on Raid Passes (especially Remote Raid Passes) when the opportunity is right there to make the concept more enjoyable.

No paid ticket for Global GO Fest is how you ACTUALLY celebrate Pokémon GO! Huge change, super happy they finally did that ❤️ #PokemonGO

Seeing Neo Tiger Mask retire on top makes me happy.

@Matt_Camps Well said. Hilarious beef aside, we are all one in the Caribbean. Different shades of beautiful islands.

The No. 2 ranked jiu-jitsu fighter in the world is also its most dangerous provocateur. For the Spring 2026 issue, Joshua David Stein writes about Craig Jones dismantling the sport's toxic hierarchy, the labor rights con he ran on conservative grapplers, and why finishing second was the smartest brand move in martial arts: ply.by/fpqp3t Photographer: Caleb Atkinson Editor-in-Chief: Phillip Picardi Creative: Mini Mega Studio Words: Joshua David Stein

From such a young ace in the background running with İsmail Balaban on his shoulders after an ICONIC Kırkpınar Oil Wrestling triumph in 2017... to becoming a genuine modern day pillar of Oil Wrestling. Love seeing the rise of Mustafa Taş over the years

@AlmotsGraps Top 10 supermodel

top 3 most batshit insane physiques in the history of wrestling and imagine all the ground that covers

@RoyceIsaacs Cat lost all 9 lives at once 💀

Skin the cat? Naw this cat got skinned

İsmail Balaban - Serhat Balcı 🔥 2. TUR 📅 CW Enerji Türkiye Yağlı Güreş Ligi – 1. Etap 🏆 4. Şahinbey Yağlı Güreşleri 📍 Gaziantep | 24-25-26 Nisan 2026 (Cuma–Cumartesi–Pazar)

It has been phenomenal seeing Mustafa Taş grow over the years. Potential World Nomad Games Oil Wrestling Gold Medallist the next time the Games are held in Türkiye (claimed Silver last time in 2022). No amount of being busy could ever keep me away from League Wrestling

@Peps_Wrestling I support Lord Tensai's return to become NXT Champion

All the talk about EVIL or Hiromu, which means it will be Ulka Sasaki and it would be funny as hell

Bas Rutten x Frank Shamrock. Pancrase Truth 5 at Nippon Budokan. An elegant form of violence, from an artful age of combat. (5.16.1996) ❌

@Serranosisters She deserves it all and so much more 💓 🇵🇷
