Come see the world’s best from more than 100 countries at the 2015 Wrestling World Championships! For the first time since 2003, the Wrestling World Championships are being hosted in the United States, and the competition will take place September 7-12, 2015 at The Orleans Arena!
This is a tremendously important event in international wrestling, as it serves as the first qualifying event for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as the event in which the largest number of athletes earn a spot at the Olympics.
“We very excited to play host to the wrestling world’s largest event outside the Olympics,” said USA Wrestling’s Executive Director Rich Bender. “It is an historic event not just for USA Wrestling but also for our 174-member nations. It also serves as an Olympic qualifier which makes it special. Las Vegas and the Orleans Arena present a tremendous opportunity to mix our sport into the world’s best entertainment city.”
Competition in all three Olympic styles of international wrestling will be held: men’s freestyle, women’s freestyle and Greco-‐Roman.
The 2015 World Wrestling Championships will be presented by United World Wrestling, USA Wrestling, the United States Olympic Committee and Las Vegas Events.

Episode 34 of The MatBoss Podcast is with four-time All-American and three-time NCAA Division I finalist Gerry Abas of Fresno State. Gerry Abas talks about his start in wrestling in the Bay Area and how his speed, quickness and flash on the wrestling mat had its foundations in break dancing in the 1980s.
He also talks about his classic match and loss to Iowa’s Lincoln McIlravy, coaching his younger brother Stephen at Fresno State, watching the school drop the program and his feelings about it at the time. Abas also speaks about his son Jaden and what we can expect from him on the next level.
Stephen Abas
Stephen Abas, 2008 Olympic silver medalist and three-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion at Fresno State, has been named head wrestling coach at Fresno High School.
“We are excited to welcome Coach Abas to Fresno Unified, knowing that he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with our Fresno High student-athletes,” said Fresno Unified Superintendent Bob Nelson.
The statement said Abas would take the helm of the Warriors wrestling program at Fresno High immediately.
As a wrestler at Fresno State University, Abas was a four-time NCAA All-American, winning three NCAA titles at 125 pounds in 1999, 2001, and 2002. Abas tallied a 144-4 overall record for the Bulldogs, including 46 pins. Abas’ career winning percentage of 97.3 percent is also a school record. For all these accomplishments, Abas was named the Fresno State Male Athlete of the Year in 1999 and 2001.
Stephen in high school (Canyon Springs HS & James Logan HS) was a 3X CIF state champion and a NHSCA National Champion in 1996.
