S-W-M0 is recommended by Tanker (4/27/2025)
One of the many benefits of meetfighters is getting to meet people from across the world. The Middle East has always fascinated me so I was delighted to meet Arabian Knight Saif at recent Yorkshire Dales wrestling meet.
He is confident, cocky in fact but in an entertaining not arrogant way. "Arab man never give up, always fight to win, very tough" he informed me before our fight ( or something very like it).
This was not an idle boast, he is a fit strong agile opponent who attacks relentlessly, no matter what you throw at him he just bounces straight back at you, really excellent stamina, good defence and much stronger than his size would suggest, real powerhouse and feels heavier than his weight would suggest so fair bit of muscle too. At one point had him pinned to the mat, had a tight grip of the bugger, but he quickly shrimped and threw me across the mat, (in fact he is constantly shrimping no chance of a breather if you pin him, feel knackered just thinking about it )! 🥵
Confirmed my high opinion of Arab wrestlers, reminded me of Solidman, like him claims to have no formal training but has considerable skill, if we had been the same size I would have been toast, but there again I am a poor defenceless old man and he gave me no quarter !
Liked him a lot, nice looking, big soft eyes, friendly, good conversation, smile as wide as the Persian Gulf and a cheeky sense of humour, safe and sane, hopefully see you soon!

Meet with Tom on our vacations in Maui. Did some great muscle testing and working on holds . Pro , submission and just a lot of laughs. Seems like we’ve known each other for years. Such a beautiful setting and person. This is what so great about this app. You would probably never meet a guy from Australia if we weren’t on here. Had so much fun. Thanks for hosting Tommy.
billy is recommended by Roll 08902 (4/27/2025)
I had a great time wrestling with Billy on my mats. He was so easy to deal with and he’s a good wrestler that’s going to get even better. He’s very easy on the eyes and kind, and he’s definitely a Dom-wrestler in training. Don’t let his boyish good looks think you can underestimate him.
SeattleWrestler3 is recommended by petroglyph888 (4/27/2025)
I had to postpone us meeting a couple times. But in the end, SeattleWrestler3 & I had a lot of fun, and gave each other quite a workout. We wrestled, then wrestled with body punches, and some groin grabs. He introduced me to cock-boxing, which I enjoyed more than I expected. Leading up to this match, we had weeks of throwing ideas at each other. In the end, we tired each other out before we could do a lot of it. But that just means more for next time we meet.
Larbear is recommended by Builderguy (4/27/2025)
First real meet since joining the app. Larry is a terrific bloke very experienced, considerate and strong as fuck! Learnt a lot as we wrestled for a few hours. He’s got an answer for every move and hold and I’m a bit sore tonight. We gut punched and he can take it hard. Amazing abs. I did ok too. Definitely look forward to meeting again hopefully in the near future.

Ruggdguy is recommended by dtwwow (4/27/2025)
He is an absolute unit, his pics don't really give you the sense of how thick his muscles are in person. We did a bunch of lift and carry tests and some workouts together. He was able to fireman lift me almost like I was nothing and workout with me on his back, really showing me how much he could push his strength. Also really friendly and approachable guy, definitely recommend and would love to meet up again 💪
CroChillDude is recommended by Chokes (4/27/2025)
After we have been chatting for some time we finally met. CroChillDude is, as his name suggests, really chill guy to have nice conversation before or after the fight. During the fight however he is much more dangerous than he seems to be. Even though i had weight advantage our rounds lasted about 15 minutes, which was really exhausting. That guy does not fall easily and defends himself really well. He has my full recommendations.
Imtiaz Ali is recommended by Tidue (4/27/2025)
What an amazing guy Imtiaz is on so many levels! We connected via a mutual friend which resulted in me being invited and joining one of his fantasticly organised events.
He is clearly an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled martial artist in in number of disciplines. I was a complete newbie and he went out of the way to give me a great induction to grappling, from providing me opportunities to practice with him and others, to caring about my safety (as I had sustained some serious injuries at my trial at grappling club not long ago).
He's also extremely good at organising, coordinating and delivering grappling events. So if you spot one and are lucky enough to go, don't pass up the chance! Including if you are new to grappling - he goes out of his way to make these spaces safe and inclusive!
He's also just a really great guy to chat to and get to know off the mats and I really enjoyed spending time with him at the social spaces he provided around the grappling time.
Don't pass up a chance to connect with this legend of a guy!
Newbie88 is recommended by wrestlant (4/27/2025)
Hugely enjoyed getting to meet newbie88 at the ring this weekend.
He is a lot of fun to wrestle... we did a mix of subs, pro and some boxing thrown in, so a great opponent to introduce me to some of the many ways to use the ring space to play with and punish an opponent.
He has bags of energy and aggression, giving me a great workout as we rolled.
While I like to think I made him work for it, he has a great talent at playing the heel, knowing exactly what to say and do.
With also being easy to arrange with at the last minute, a top recommndation from me.
hedloker uk is recommended by Tidue (4/27/2025)
Hedloker was the very first person to message me when I joined MF not long ago! And how lucky I was that he did!
He has guided and counselled me as I started to navigate MF, always encouraging me to get onto grappling. So I've been keen to meet him for a while, but living in opposite ends of the country I wasn't sure it would possible.
As it happened we were able to cross paths recently at a meet he signposted me to. He spent a great deal of time teaching me all kids of basics, constantly going beyond to make sure I had a good time as a newbie and was safe, even coaching me a little during some of my rolls (by signing to go for a choke at one point 😂).
It's been great to develop a friendship online with with him and I'm thrilled I got the opportunity to continue to do so in person - all while having fun and learning from his considerable grappling expertise.
He's quite the legend I feel, friendly, kind, shockingly strong, and a master grappler. I feel quite honoured to have been given the opportunity to befriend him. If you ever get the chance to as well, don't miss it!
I know I'll be looking forward to seeing him again on in the future for some more grappling.
