Facundo is the reigning 170 pound king. After defeating Travis Mastrogiavianni for the 71 kg World Team spot and bringing home World bronze, Facundo’s only loss came to Patrick Kennedy at the 2019 edition of Who’s #1. Kennedy moved up to 182 and Facundo became the #1 170 pounder in the country. 

This wasn’t Facundo’s only time at Who’s #1, however. Facundo was victorious his first time taking the Who’s #1 mat, and hit one of the slickest duck unders you will see today (6:48 mark).

Facundo hasn’t just been one of the best wrestlers in the country for a while, he’s been one of the best in the World. The Michigan native’s aforementioned 2019 Cadet World bronze was his second-straight. In 2018 he defeated three opponents, including a Russian, to win World bronze for the first time.

Oh yeah, and he’s going to Penn State.

While Facundo has been at 170 for a year now, Valencia is coming up from 160 to take him on. This shouldn’t scare you, however. The brother of Zahid and Anthony, Cael is a bad man. After winning Super 32 over two-time Pennsylvania state champion and Lehigh commit Thayne Lawrence, Cael picked up the biggest win of his career at Doc B with a 9-5 win over current #1 at 160 and #3 P4P Paddy Gallagher.
