Murad Kuramagomedov will meet Iran’s Amirmohammad Yazdanicherati for a place in the last 16 of the 74kg freestyle competition at the Astana wrestling worlds. The pairing appears in the official UWW bracket; the Hungarian federation identifies his opponent as a two-time world silver medallist.

Session time is not an individual start

MBSZ lists Saturday 31 October qualifying at 06:30–09:30 Budapest time, with semifinals from 12:30. This does not confirm an individual start time for Kuramagomedov.

For viewers, that distinction matters: plan around the session opening while recognising that the bout order and broadcast introduction are different things. Neither repechage nor a medal bout can be promised in advance; progression and the opponent’s later results determine those possibilities.

See our separate preview of Muszukajev and Bajcajev’s Friday starts.
