The Freestyle and Greco-Roman Clubs Cup represent a unique opportunity to compete for their club in a dual meet format. This is the third straight year Titan Mercury Wrestling Club will be sending a team to compete, but for the first time America has a Greco squad represented.

Both of the first two Freestyle Clubs Cups ended the same way, with Titan Mercury losing to a loaded Bimeh Razi team from Iran in the finals. This time around, however, they will be featuring an Olympic champ who once was on the Bimeh Razi squad that beat them. Vladimir Khinchegashvili (GEO) will be wrestling at 61kg for TMWC, along with fellow Olympic champ Kyle Snyder at 97kg.

NCAA champs Nico Megaludis, Alex Dieringer, David Taylor and Nick Gwiazdowski are also featured on the roster. Gwiazdowski is switching over from the New York Athletic Club as he continues to train in Raleigh with the Wolfpack Wrestling Club. Megaludis and Taylor are surprise additions and could signal a partnership between TMWC and the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club. BJ Futrell and Nazar Kulchytskyy both recently competed at the Bill Farrell for TMWC.

The freestyle competition will be in Kharkov, Ukraine, on November 30th and December 1st. Financial rewards for the top three clubs are $25,000 for first, $15,000 for second and $10,000 for third. The complete roster can be found below.

On the Greco side of things, this will the United States' first foray into the Clubs Cup. Iran has won both titles, with Bimeh Razi also taking home the Greco championship last year.

The roster will be under the banner of NYAC, despite having athletes from several different clubs. It is not known at this point what the team will be called. Kamal Bey and Tracy Hancock are two junior eligible athletes who have been having success on the senior level, recently winning the Bill Farrell. Alejandro Sancho was in the 71kg world team trials finals, and Austin Morrow was in the 66kg Farrell finals.

Sam Jones and Cheney Haight represent the NYAC, while Pat Smith is sponsored by the Minnesota Storm. Kevin Radford is a rare Sunkist Kids greco athlete, with Dan Miller and Eric Fader competing for the Marines.
