Roman Bravo-Young Says He Wants To Wrestle Spencer Lee
RBY recently shared his thoughts on wrestling Spencer Lee.
Spencer Lee bumping up to 133 to wrestle Roman Bravo-Young in Friday night's Iowa - Penn State dual has been the talk of the town for past several days. While it is unlikely to happen, it is a fun hypothetical to play out. The question even made its way to Bravo-Young Tuesday during Penn State's media day.

RBY insisted he doesn't care who Iowa puts out there Friday night, but that is he is highly interested in wrestling Lee at some point.
"If he wants to wrestle, I'll wrestle. I could care less. I'm always down for a scrap. He bleeds just like I bleed, so I really don't care. I'll wrestle anyone. I think me and him should definitely get that match together in the future. That match would be exciting. Something that would wake me up every day." - RBY on wrestling Spencer Lee.
Bravo-Young shared an idea to do the match as a paper-per-view after the season. "It would probably do numbers. A lot of people would watch it," he noted. While that is a possibility, it seems like the most likely scenario is that if the two ever wrestle, it will be at the 2024 Olympic Trials when Bravo-Young is forced to go down to 57 kg.
The possibility of this NCAA champ vs NCAA champ is so exciting, it has gathered attention from people outside of the normal wrestling community.
Spencer Lee should bump up to 133 to wrestle RBY this Friday. Lee has no competition at 125 anymore. Glory bumped up to 133. @RomanBravoYoung do you welcome this?

Do we all want to see Spencer Lee wrestle Roman Bravo-Young? Of course. Will it happen Friday night? No chance. Will it happen ever? Maybe. See you all Friday night during the watch party!
