Taylor claimed a world championship in 2018 at 86 kilograms, beating Fatih Erdin of Turkey in the finals, 12-2. Earlier in the tournament, he scored a victory over 2016 Olympic champion Hassan Yazdani Charati of Iran. Taylor missed the 2019 World Championships due to injury. In July, Taylor defeated Myles Martin by 11-0 technical superiority at FloWrestling's event.
Dean, a two-time NCAA champion for Cornell, won a Senior Nationals title last month at 86 kilograms after not competing since 2017. He topped Nate Jackson in the finals. Last weekend, Dean competed in Flo's 8-Man Challenge and was defeated in his first match by Taylor Lujan.
