Rby had grown bored with the sport while Vito finally realized he had something to prove when it came to folkstyle. Its great that he has bigger dreams buy this is no small feat and the things required to win this tournament should serve him well in international competition. He figured out how to win at a style that wasn't as fun for him coming from a freestyle pedigree. OW!

"Don't forget to enjoy what you're doing." Arujau echoes other solid champions like Retherford who craved the excitement of just running out on the mat. Remember Zain's enthusiastic smile at the end of a match? Looked just like Vito's. Lee, RBY, Fix and maybe a few others possibly and slowly drained the fun away from their literal, time-consuming, life-enveloping "passions?" I had a coach who liked to say "If you're putting this much time into it, might as well be good at it and have some fun." With all the MMA training RBY's been doing lately (and seeing Nickal's recent success), watch to see just how badly he takes the loss: probably not too hard with one foot already planted outside the amateur rectangle and into the octagon of riches [he hopes]. Well-deserved reward to the hungrier competitor who exemplifies wrestling at its finest, with the family interview/reaction to underline even more why he won.

The only way to beat speed is with more speed and RBY was always faster than is opponent until this time. We all have to remember that Vito got to wrestle with Yianni and Kyle Dake.
I am rewatching the Fix match. I was so shocked by the Ramos Lee match and the speed of RBY McGree I missed parts. I am rewatching this one because I blinked.
My opinion, Vito was the most impressive wrestler in the tournament.
Oh no question
This is absolute insanity. Plowing the weight class like nothing! Props to Vito💪🏽
That second takedown was poetry in motion... unbelievable.
When you first start wrestling you're always told to never cross your feet. It's crazy seeing how often Vito does it 😂
I was like wtf!!! My life is a lie😂
@@YUNG_CARL063 well he has a little extra gear that most don’t.
You learn rules so you know when it’s ok to break them
Bo Nickal did it too, when ur that good u can get away with it
This is one of the ‘true lies’ in wrestling (like ‘chest to chest’). You don’t cross your leg *in front*. A cross step can increase your range dramatically, especially when attacking the back leg in an opponent’s staggered stance. And you don’t have to be ‘all-world’ to do it.
Cael throwing the brick to get RBY a breather will forever be my favorite finals moment.
2:36 The best single leg I've ever seen. Seriously, just WOW!
Never seen a shot like that, it’s like a low single, ankle pick, and throw by all in one. Insane shot !🔥⚡️
So sick
Yeah I could watch it over and over
@@de5913 head inside pull
@@de5913 it begun from arm shvung - distracting move
I loved watching this after RBY’s BS stall match last year against Desanto
This was sweet. I dont watch as much college wrestling anymore but this is the kind of performance that would bring me back, man has MOVES
Please watch it and don't be afraid to watch international wrestling UWW on KZhead. Wrestlers are evolving and wrestling as a sport is bigger than ever.
I thought that RBY’s advanced stalling would get exposed by someone, I just didn’t know who it would be. Arujau looked unbeatable
DeSanto exposed it. Arujau just could capitalize on it like no other.
Dude was by far the most boring wrestler consecutively this tournament, just danced around never got a stall call and barely shot any shots. 🙄🥱🥱
Yeah the past two years his offense was mediocre. Something changed bc he wasn't always like this.
@@TheBullyDisciplerby can get a shot off when needed. He looked way smaller than Vito the master weight cutter
It’s called being complacent
This just goes to show how much nuance there is in this beautiful sport. It also shows how no one is untouchable, you can be beat by anyone who worked just as hard or harder mentally the hardest sport in the world.
After RBY won big 10, he said it didn't mean anything. He wasn't humble, or appreciative. Just seemed super egotistical, cocky. I don't like him, and was happy to see him absolutely schooled. Vito looked so dialed in with every movement, and his speed was more than impressive! Count me in as a new fan!!
Same
From an interview earlier in the year, it semed like his head was somewhere else. His NCAA appearance showed that.
Didn’t see Cockiness at all more so boredom you have to have a high level of confidence at that level
@@ogot344 That may be the case, in which getting schooled might inject some excitement, and appreciation into him. Let's hope. He just doesn't seem to fit in with how the other PSU elite act. Those other guys, are some respectful, humble, appreciative, God loving champs.
Big 10 doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. March is the only thing that matters. If you don't think RBY is humble or appreciative you are mistaken. It seems like he is soft-spoken and more on the humble side. He's not super egotistical or cocky at all and that's easy to see. You may have analyzed him incorrectly. I think you just don't like RBY, which is a problem, and was signified by you being happy to see him absolutely schooled
Watching Vito with that first takedown...I knew it would be his match. That's the first time I've seen RBY get taken down in a long time. And before I could even process that, he takes him down again...Vito is a machine man.
Vito’s destroyed RBY in the past, they just haven’t wrestled recently at all
Since his freshman year Vito really impressed me. I thought he'd have multiple trophies by now.
I think he should have been at 133 this whole time. Would have been a 3x champ probably. I’m hoping he makes the Olympic team, his style translates so well internationally
Always thought RBY was the quickest wrestler I've ever seen. Then I watched Arujau wrestle.
That was flat out an incredible performance. I've never seen RBY get worked like that.
Vito put on a show. Looked effortless. Most impressive win of the night by far.
Dude already knew he had RBY’s number the whole time and he showed it 💯💪🏾
Roman only scored 2 offensive points, just one takedown. Dominating the two-time NCAA champ.
Vito is the fastest man on the planet. Holy cow, his nickname should be the Flash.
Vito is built to dominate at international level. Fire!
Vito made jump to another level. Frightening how he dominated. Huge upside, WC upside.
Looked like an Olympic gold medalist out there. Speed and technique are world class.
Vito is quick as hell!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful wrestling.
You know you’re fast when you impress JB.
That inside pick Arujau hit was similar to how Dake got tech falled in the Olympics
Noo.. it was a simple ankle pick they do on the senior level.
@@michaelhayes6209 no. It was a move that maybe happened one other time the entire tournament. Stop acting like that move wasnt special. If it is so common, why didnt rby see it coming?
So glad for this 🙌! I'm sick of everyone especially broadcasters being on RBY's nuts 🙄
that single leg cut back to cradle was soooooooooooooo slick
Seeing Vito win is like seeing NY Section 8 win. Glad to have met him way long ago and see him win now. Congrats to the Arujau family!
The most exciting match all night.
Great tourny, great finals round, and Vito impressed me the most of anyone. Also, love his dad in the past match interview!
and Great genetics...
Yeah, I actually didn't know about his dad. Looked it up and he's got 2 world gold's and an Olympic bronze to his name
Vito is a freak. This match is going to hurt me for a while
Vito did awesome for someone who went up a weight all worth while congratulations.
Hopefully he’ll represent the US didn’t he wrestle for another country like amine?
I didn’t think Vito would beat either Fix or RBY. I was very wrong. He hammered both of them. Outstanding tournament young man. Well done and best of luck in the future.
"Don't forget to enjoy what you're doing." Arujau echoes other solid champions like Retherford who craved the excitement of just running out on the mat. Remember Zain's enthusiastic smile at the end of a match? Looked just like Vito's. Lee, RBY, Fix and maybe a few others possibly and slowly drained the fun away from their literal, time-consuming, life-enveloping "passions?" I had a coach who liked to say "If you're putting this much time into it, might as well be good at it and have some fun." With all the MMA training RBY's been doing lately (and seeing Nickal's recent success), watch to see just how badly he takes the loss: probably not too hard with one foot already planted outside the amateur rectangle and into the octagon of riches [he hopes]. Well-deserved reward to the hungrier competitor who exemplifies wrestling at its finest, with the family interview/reaction to underline even more why he won.
As soon as I saw that second shot I knew the match was in the bag. Sets up, shoots, and finishes in the blink of an eye. Nothing you can do about it.
Vito EARNED this freaking title. Smooth like a KING. RBY phenom - but he made RBY look like he wasn't the champ. Finished every TD and held RBY back. Good freaking Job New Yorker.
Are we not going to talk about how Vito’s dad sounds like Gru from the minions? Also, those shot were insanely fast! Vito pushed the pace the entire time and didn’t look tired once.
This was the craziest performance the way Vito was straight to his finishes neutralizing all of RBYs funk and clutch defense.
Clutch stalling *
I can watch this every day for the rest of my life.
My son went to VHW in Syosset for years. He trained 100's of hours of live wrestling with Vito. I could not be happier for someone winning that title. Vito was bred to be champion. His father was a 2x World Champion from Russia. He was an Olympic bronze medalist. Vito has also trained in Russia. He has incredible athletic ability and mental strength. I was not surprised at all he beat RBY and he will be heavily favored to repeat next year.
I went to Jericho High School and wrestled against Vito at Battle of the Harbor. I like saying I scored 7 points against him, I just don't tell people he let me up haha
@@matthewtschetter1953 very nice. My son went to Saint Anthony's.
@@captainandcoke7085 good school! I always went to Ascend wrestling club in Hicksville. From what I've heard, Ascend is far more of a technical club, and Vulgars is more physical. Both great clubs who've produced high quality wrestlers.
Arujau!!!!! Not only did he not take a red shirt season - unlike Dake he didn't suck or gain weight to avoid specific competitors. A TRUE 4X NCAA champion!!! Congratulations!!!!!
That was a masterclass display against a masterful opponent. Seriously impressive.
Vito just keeps getting better and better. I love watching him wrestle.
vito broke rby! great match. this tournament was excellent, so many upsets and guys not believing the hype/rankings
HE BROKE THAT FOOL!
Wow absolutely awesome match I cannot believe how fast vito was, thank you for keeping it exciting for us fans
Absolutely tremendous match from Vito! The Great RBY got awakened! Best match of the night!
Vito's experience shining through, an impressive tournament from that man.
9:08 RBY face says it all... The face says I lost and I quit. While pulling his fingers as a way to comfort himself from this upset.
Vito’s face was the best…like “you shouldn’t have even tried because you knew you didn’t have a chance”.
The reporter was not prepared for that interview
💯 🤣🤣☠️☠️
One of the best matches I've ever seen.
I had the chance to see Vito warm up this year at Penn for over an hour up close.. the dude is unbelievably fast.. love his energy and sick moves
Amazing job by Vito…he’s really leveled up. RBY has obviously had a phenomenal career with 2 titles and a third finals appearance but the game of improvement never ends.
that is as fast and quick as ive ever seen amazing wrestling
Pure domination
I have been coming back to this every couple of days to enjoy this. I like RBY and I think he's a hell of a wrestler, but as others have said his style leaves much to be desired. Vito just elevated his game so much in this match, RBY looked shell shocked and ultimately I think it shows what would happen to him regularly on the international scene against the upper tier. NCAA has to get back to calling more stalls so the action opens up more.
Vito is the truth his smooth and fast with his offense, his shots are perfection
That was stunning, I'm absolutely shocked at this result. Wow
4:19 That is the cleanest mat return I've ever seen. Holy damn
Arujau was perhaps the most impressive finalist of the night, along with Starocci. Where has this Arujau been hiding? After that performance, you can make a legit argument that he is the best pound for pound wrestler in the country entering next season. Even over Brooks and Starocci -- and that's coming from a Penn State guy. Shout out to O'Toole who wrestled a really gutsy performance and proved his mettle as well. Great night of wrestling.
A star is born, vito Arujau is now famous. dude is lightning fast with impeccible technique. His dad being a Russian world medalist certainly helps his developement.
This is my first time watching Vito wrestle. Wow! Super quick!
Congrats Vogar and Vito...looking sharp!!
And vito said post match “ ncaa gold was never a dream of mine, i want olympic gold” vito gonna-be fun to watch down the road!
These finals displayed a lot of elite wrestling, not just vito who was outstanding, but also Alirez with great takedown to his back, O,Toole handling David Carr And Mason Parris was very impressive as well
Vito was my dark horse pick fro Before the start of the season. So happy he came out in too
Rby and Lee lost? 😱 biggest upsets in 2023
And carr also
@@meme8315 that’s not really an upset since O’toole was a returning national champ.
Vito an amazing wrestler taking out a 54-0 winning streak professional.
54-0 stalling professional
Vito did a great job of being offensive and taking it to him. I agree it would have been a low scoring match RBY vs Fix with the hands head gefense. Nice to see a match like this. Congrats on a job well done!
RBY & Lee both choking in the same tournament is crazier than any March Madness upset
RBY didn’t choke, he got dominated.
What a season, some crazy upsets.
I called it. I new Vito was something 133lbs wasn’t expecting. On a different channel I was ridiculed in the comment section for saying Vito is going to surprise everyone. And he did.
By far my most favorite match in ncaa wrestling- ever!
@@footballfanboy9680 well, it was how Vito lulled both RBY and Fix to sleep with his movements. He would walk into them slow and then just explode in his defense and reattacks. His counter when rby had was something to behold. Who does that to rby? It was like Rby was playing checkers and Vito was playing chess.
Vito Arujau please accept a new fan. That was a masterpiece good sir!!
it's young men like these that give me a hope for the future of America, physical sports like this build both physical strength and character and with good moral values turn these athletes into young men of excellence
This tourney has been insane
How many 1 seeds won their weight class? 3 or 4?
@@leroywatermelon4025 5 1 seeds took their bracket
So smooth and relaxed and wicked fast nice work
Vito was wrestling in another universe. He more than just a quick counter wrestler he attacks outta nowhere
Cael Sanderson's face at 4:25!! LOL
Of all the wrestlers, I enjoy watching him the most.( vito)
2:35 holy wow the technique on this....
Vito wrestled one of the most beautiful matches I've ever seen!!!
I've watched this match at least 6 times. This is really intelligent wrestling especially by Vito. I get satisfaction and enjoyment just from watching it!!
Vitos finishes are so clean...rby had no chance to scramble at all
So dope. Can’t see how this doesn’t reach mainstream sports. As good as it gets.
Pat. You made me cry 😢. I love Wrestlng
That what happens when you got a guy like Yianni D. in practice everyday
If Burroughs thinks your fast then you must be the flash.
Oh dang😶
Vito handled his VICTORY like a champ. Walked back to the center and shook his opponents hand and didn’t do some “viral” celebration like most do. It’s unnecessary and not needed. Oh wait Yianni did the same thing. Cornell is where it’s going to be for college wrestling in the next 5 years.
Vito Shots are smooth af
Man...I didnt see this coming. RBY didnt seem on his A game. Upset of all upsets. Keep your head up RBY. You made Tucson, Az proud. 🤙🏼🤙🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Vito looked like he was just hitting stuff just cuz. Good for him well deserved 🙏🏼
This whole tournament is the perfect example to why there shouldn't be seeds. Every wrestler in their respective weight classes who qualifies should put their name into a hat and fill the brackets by luck of the draw.
@@leroywatermelon4025Wow! That's probably the worst idea i've heard all year, congrats!
@@chidoriman20 How can they rank them from best to worst when there is a tournament to decide that? If they are going to seed them according to rank (opinion), then they may as well just not have the tournament. Makes no sense to seed them and give the highest ranked wrestlers the easiest path to the semi finals. Make it interesting. Besides, if a wrestler is the best, it shouldn't matter if their first round match could potentially be against another great wrestler, right?
@@leroywatermelon4025 well the rankings are based off stats so that the 2 hypothetical best wrestlers are in the finals to put on the best show
@@justinhalbert6970 So you are saying it's rigged? That's all the more reason to make it luck of the draw.
Been hoping Vito would win a chip someday. I was so happy when I saw he beat RBY.
I would of liked to be a fly on the wall watching Vito and yianni I bet that was an exciting match in the practice room
I dont know how people didnt know that Vito beat RBY at the World Team trials! And he had too win two matches as it is freestyle and went 2-0. This wasn't a shocker for that reason, especially to Vito himself and he showed it. Grats Vito!
rby is a good wrestler and isn’t just a nobody bc he lost, he still got all them titles on em. But good job to both of them for coming a long way and working hard
