There are wrestling events—and then there’s *this*. The Brunson Utah Wrestling All-Star Dual isn’t just a night of matches. It’s a celebration. A stage. A moment wrestlers will remember for the rest of their lives. And the date is officially set for January 6th 2026 at the UCCU Center in Orem UT.

What Makes It Special?

Spotlight Experience, Elevated

This isn’t another tournament. It’s not about grinding through a bracket or counting team points. The All-Star Dual puts the individual front and center. One match. One shot to showcase everything an athlete has built—years of training, sacrifice, and grit—all under the lights with the entire state watching.

A Curated Clash of Utah’s Finest

Selections for the event aren’t taken lightly. Athletes are invited based on a mix of resume, reputation, and impact on the mat. It’s not just about being good—it’s about being great *in the moments that matter*. These matches often feature state champs, nationally ranked talent, and breakout stars you’ll be hearing about for years.

Atmosphere You Can Feel

The energy in the room is different. Families, coaches, clubs—all gathered not for quantity, but quality. Every match is a main event. The lights are low, the mat is lit, and the crowd leans in on every takedown, every escape, every last-second scramble. This is where wrestling *feels* bigger than just a match.

A Unified Community Night

The All-Star Dual isn’t just about competition—it’s about connection. Across divisions, styles, and schools, the Utah wrestling community comes together in one place. Coaches shake hands. Fans cheer for athletes from rival programs. It’s a rare moment of unity where the sport rises above the scoreboard.
