Having won Bronze at the European Games, and beating Tyutrin by technical fall at the summer-camp face-offs, the reigning World Champion, Uguev, was once again eligible to take part in the World Championships in Kazakhstan.

To finish the match, Uguev would get two-points from a trapped-arm turn for exposure, resulting in a dominating 13-3 technical fall - successfully defending his world title.[18]
2020
2020 Russian National Championships
Given the ongoing pandemic due to Sars-Covid, the overwhelming majority of all sporting events were cancelled worldwide, thus cancelling most wrestling tournaments for that year - including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Despite all of this, the 2020 Russian National Freestyle Wrestling Championships took place in mid-October, as qualification for the Individual World Cup which was announced to take place in December. Uguev would win three of his matches, all by technical-superiority; defeating Yakutia's Petr Konstantinov and Aleksey Kopylov, then Muslim Sadulaev- which would give him a spot in the final. Uguev would again meet his rival, Azamat Tuskaev opposing him in the final. Uguev's positioning proved to be too much,[19] giving Uguev his third Russian National title[20] defeating Tuskaev by 1-1 criteria,[21] and a spot on the team heading to the Individual World Cup.[citation needed]
Individual World Cup
For the fact that there was no formal World Championships in 2020 due to covid, a condensed version was introduced as an alternative tournament: the 2020 Individual World Cup.[22] Uguev was sent here, and proved to everyone that he was #1 in the World at 57 kg, and would go unscored on. Uguev first stormed through Moldova's Buruian, and Andreyeu of Belarus, before winning 9–0 over Myrzanazar Uluu from Kyrgyzstan, paving his way into the semi-final match. In his semi-final, he was met with young Iranian, former two-time Cadet World Champion, and 2021 Junior World Champion, Rahman Amouzad, Uguev would waste no time and won by fall,[23] which would then allow Uguev to wrestle in the final. Opposing Uguev in the final, was 2021 Olympian, 2019 European Champion, and World Bronze medalist, Arsen Harutyunyan, of Armenia.[24] Despite Harutyunyan's accomplishments, Uguev would dominate and win by technical-superiority in less than a minute; scoring an ankle-pick to gut-wrench, followed by a single-leg to another two gut-wrenches, making the score 10–0.[25] Uguev ultimately won gold and first place on the podium without conceding a single point.[26]
2021
2021 Russian National Championships
Since the Tokyo Olympics were postponed in 2020, they were later rescheduled for the Summer of 2021- this meant that the 2021 Russian Nationals would be the final part of the Olympic Team's selection process - where a gold medal would guarantee a spot on the Olympic team. The favorite at 57 kg was two-time World Champion, Zaur Uguev. To start his run, Uguev would win by technical superiority over his first two opponents: Umar Khachukaev or the Rostov Oblast, and Abubakar Mutaliev of Dagestan]]- both by the score: 10–0. In the quarter-final, Uguev would face the first of three Tuvan opponents: Donduk-ool Khuresh-ool, who would fall by the score of 2–1; Belek-ool Kuzhuget by 4–1, which would result in Uguev meeting Nachyn Mongush in the final.[27][28] The final between Uguev and Mongush would be an exhilarating and exciting match, with both wrestlers scoring: Uguev would score first due to Mongush's inactivity and then a push-out, shortly after a takedown was scored for Uguev- giving him the lead 4–0 at the break. Around a minute and a half through the second period, Mongush threw Uguev to his back for four points, evening the score: 4-4; although, Uguev would later throw Mongush for five-points, gaining the lead by the score 9–4. Mongush would shortly after make Uguev step-out, resulting in a 9–5 score; however, it would be too late as Uguev was able to hold the score until the final whistle and conclusion of the match. Having beat Mongush, Uguev became the 2021 Russian National Champion,[29][30] he would be one of three wrestlers from Dagestan,[31] and be the 57 kg representative of the Russian Freestyle team at the 2021 Olympics.[32]
