The Budapest Ranking Series is the final United World Wrestling Ranking Series event before the 2026 Senior World Championships, bringing together many of the world's top freestyle wrestlers as they battle for valuable ranking points and international medals. Hanna Draw Hanna opens his tournament against India's Kaliraman. A victory would setup a next round match vs Hungary's Mizsei. His quarterfinals opponent would be Azerbaijan's Babazade. The upper half of the bracket features Zakashvili (Georgia) along with United States standout Bartlett, who are projected to meet in the quarterfinals. Should Hanna navigate his opening rounds, he would likely need to defeat one of those favorites to reach the championship match. Foca's Draw Foca opens against the winner of Germany's Morodion and Azerbaijan's Dzhioev. A likely quarterfinal match with Georgia's Samkharadze awaits.
