Austin DeSanto aka Mr. Challenge Accepted will be taking on another giant as he is slated to wrestle Daton Fix at Beat The Streets on May 17 in New York City's Times Square.
People are calling DeSanto the real-life version of the movie "Vision Quest" after he dropped down to 126 pounds and defeated two-time world champion and three-time Pennsylvania state champion Spencer Lee to finish off his high school career. About a week later, DeSanto used his breakneck pace and overwhelming offense to impressively major four-time California state champion Justin Mejia at the Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic.
Watch DeSanto dominate Mejia at PWC.
But now there is another beast across the mat from DeSanto, and Fix poses an entirely different threat than Lee and Mejia. Fix is a dynamic attack-style guy who can surely match the pace of DeSanto. A two-time world bronze medalist and four-time undefeated Oklahoma state champion, Fix just finished a dominant run at the U.S. Open in which he never reached the second period and will be making his second straight appearance on the mat in Times Square when he meets DeSanto.
However, this will not be a regular folkstyle or freestyle match. There is going to be a bit of a twist to the scoring. In this bout, the first person to score five takedowns will be the winner. Also, two push-outs/step-outs will equal one takedown as well. As of right now, there is no indication as to how long the match will be.
Watch Fix win another U.S. Open title.
Anyway, no matter what rules or scoring criteria they go by, this is going to be another great match that won't disappoint.
