Aktualni svjetski prvak u kategoriji do 61 kilograma
Logan Stieber sa 7-4 svladao je Viktora Rassadina.
James Green svladao je Magomedkhabiba Kadimagomedova u kategoriji do 70 kilograma, a uspješni su bili i olimpijski pobjednici Jordan Burroughs i Kyle Snyder. S obzirom na zategnutu političku situaciju vrijedi izdvojiti dobrodošlicu koja je dočekala Burroughsa na dolasku u Iran.
Zlatni iz Londona Burroughs u kategoriji do 74 kilograma pobijedio je Atsamaza Sanakoeva, dok je olimpijski pobjednik iz Rija, Snyder, u kategoriji do 97 kilograma nadjačao Jurija Belonovskog. Na putu do pobjede 11-2 ostvario je pet rušenja.
U prvom meču dana Rusi su izgubili od Azerbajdžana na tehničke poene, dok su Amerikanci sa 7-1 pobijedili Gruziju.
