We'll be honest, we don't know much about Iranian wrestlers outside of The Iron Sheik, but this video of Iran's Iman Sadeghikoukandeh doing a flip to takedown Russia's Rashidov Gadzhimurad definitely caught our eye. Not only was that maneuver as impressive as anybody who can spell those two fucking names, but it got him into the championship at the FILA Junior World Championships. We've also learned that he won his title match, though you're unlikely to see how unless he pulled off a similarly amazing move (which he did not).
