Loved watching him win. The announcers mentioned his opponent for the finals, Yasmani Acosta Fernandez was apparently his Cuban teammate and then defected to Chile.
Even my dad who's a big wrestling fan, but a chud had to begrudgingly admit Lopez is the GOAT.
We need a Jon Bois style video on Lopez, culminating with his fifth victory over the defector. That would be great propaganda.
Yeah it sounds like Acosta left Cuba for Chile because Lopez was in his weight class. He's been competing for Chile since 2017 but looks like this is his first Olympics. Glad he got beat.
