Freestyle career
Dake's age group concentrated more on Greco-Roman discipline, but in freestyle, he was a two-time FILA National All-American and a Fargo All-American. He was a three-time FILA National finalist in Greco-Roman, winning the championship in 2008 and the US World Team Trials. At the 2008 Greco-Roman Junior World Championships, he came in 14th.
Dake made his senior freestyle debut in April 2011, when he ran for the US national champion Andrew Howe, age 20. In June, he appeared at the United States World Team Trials, where he defeated 2010 NCAA champion J.P. O'Connor and 2011 NCAA finalist Tyler Caldwell went 3–2 overall.
Dake, then a three-time NCAA champion, wanted to become the US Olympic team member in April 2012, but he was unable to do so after being defeated by Trent Paulson in the semifinals. Overall, he had a strong showing over 2012 Dan Hodge Trophy winner and prospective World Champion David Taylor (pin), as well as 2012 Pan American Champion Nick Marable (twice) who came third.
Dake won the best-of-three finale after graduating from Trent Paulson, David Taylor, and Andrew Howe, but he was unable to win the best-of-three finale, defeating defending Olympic and World Champion Jordan Burroughs, who will now qualify for the World Championships. Dake had broken his hand but not lost twice to finish fifth in the Heydar Aliyev Golden Grand Prix in Azerbaijan, but they also topped two-time World Champion Denis Tsargush and returning Olympian Ali Shabanau. Dake was unable to participate for the remainder of 2013 and only returned to action in February 2014, where he lost out in November 2014 after more injuries and viruses.
After winning the Northeastern Regionals in 2015, he competed at the US World Team Trials, and after clearing out the consolation bracket, he was able to advance to the best-of-three. Dake was defeated by Jordan Burroughs twice in a row, who would go on to win his third World Championship. Dake then did not compete until December, when he leapt to 86 kilograms for the US Nationals, finishing first after defeating two-time Dan Hodge Trophy champion and 2008 NCAA champion Keith Gavin, and three-time DI All-American Tyrel Todd. His appearances in 2016 were also scarce, as he only competed at the Alexander Medved Open in ninth place and the US Olympic Team Trials. Dake won the best-of-three finals after defeating Richard Perry and David Taylor at the trials. In the first match, the 197 pounds-time and reigning NCAA champion was defeated for the first time, but J'den Cox, Dake, was defeated again in a close second match, finishing second in a close second round at the US Olympic Team Trials.
Dake returned to 74 kilograms in 2017 and claimed the Grand Prix of Paris in January after a dominating three-time NCAA champion from Oklahoma State Alex Dieringer in the finals. Dake defeated Dieringer in the semifinals once more at the US Open in April, but Jordan Burroughs took second, but not by criteria. Dake defeated two-time NCAA champion Isaiah Martinez and three-time NCAA champion Alex Dieringer to advance to the best-of-three finals at the US World Team Trials. Jordan Burroughs, Dake, was first in a match on criteria, but he was disqualified twice in a row by decision, presumably ending the rivalry 1–7 in favour of Burroughs. In December, he lifted his weight and helped Team USA gain second place in the Clubs World Cup after six consecutive technical falls.
Dake took part in the Golden Grand Prix Ivan Yarygin, the year's first tournament outside of the World Championships and the Summer Olympics. After defeating Junior World Champion Alan Zaseev and Asian Games Gold medalist Rashid Kurbanov, the latter was comfortably defeated by two-time tournament champion Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov, who claimed the silver medal. However, he returned to the top of the podium at the World Cup, defeating returning Olympic bronze medalist Jabrayen Jabrayl Hasanov en route to a team title. Dake earned his second national championship in less than a month by defeating Ukrainian Memorial champion Alex Dieringer in the final. Dake was the first American World Championship runner-up and a tech-falling 2011 Pan American Games gold medalist from Cuba Liván López at Beat the Streets in his first US World Team at Final X: State College, defeating reigning NCAA champion and '17 Junior World Championship runner-up Zahid Valencia twice in a row. When Dake defeated two-time European Continental champion Jabrayil Hasanov, 2007 Junior World Championship runner-up Ayhan Sucu, and 2010 University World Championship runner-up Ibrahim Yusubov, he warmed up.
Dake competed in the World Championships for the first time in his career in October, aged 27. He pounded through his tournament, winning every match via technical fall without giving up a single point up until the finals, despite losing his only weight class to European Continental champion Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov, who was defending his only defeat in the weight class to European Continental champions. Dake defeated Jabrayil Hasanov on points in the final to gain his first World Championship. Dake deftinted his opponents 37–0 throughout the tournament.
Dake, the newly promoted World Champion, was unable to defend his US World Team position against US National Champion Alex Dieringer in June due to a "freak crash" that required surgery, putting the wrestle-offs against US National Champion Alex Dieringer later this year. Rather, Dake returned to Spain on July for the prestigious Grand Prix of Spain, where after five matches, he was victorious and remained at the top of the podium. In August, the first match between Alex Dieringer and the US World Team took place, with Dake defeating Dieringer twice to defend the position. Dake later competed at his second World Championships. He defeated Jabrayil Hasanov from Azerbaijan in a thrilling World Championship victory over 2017.
Dake dropped back to 74 kilograms to attempt to qualify in the 2020 Summer Olympics, now a two-time World Champion in the non-Olympic 79 kilograms weight class. Dake defeated Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series crown, technology'ing three-time European Continental champion Soner Demirtaş in the final, a new record in the rankings at 74 kg in his first tournament of the year. He was supposed to compete at the US Olympic Team Trials in April 4–5, but the competition was postponed along with the Summer Olympics due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Dake was only able to participate one more time this year, defeating Italy's two-time World Champion (65 kg and 70kg) while headlining FloWrestling: Dake vs. Chamizo in July.
Dake defeated multiple-time All-American David McFadden at the SCRTC I in January 8 to start the Olympic season. He claimed the prestigious Grand Prix de France Henri Deglane a week later, dismantling his three opponents en route to gold. He then defeated two-time and three-time NCAA champions from Penn State Vincenzo Joseph and Jason Nolf, the former also being the 2020 Pan American champion. Dake qualified at the rescheduled US Olympic Team Trials in April 2–3, without a seed, in the hopes of advancing to the semifinals as a World Champion at a non-Olympic weight. Dake defeated All-American Evan Wick and the brilliant Jason Nolf to finish in the best of three categories in the challenge bracket. Dake defeated rival and five-time Olympic and World Champion Jordan Burroughs to down Burroughs, putting an end to his nine-year reign. Dake won the opportunity to represent the United States in the 2020 Summer Olympics after one of his career's biggest victories. Dake also participated in the Pan American Continental Championships on May 30 as a result. After scoring 40 points against four opponents and going uncored, he claimed the crown and helped the US win all ten freestyle medals.
Dake was one of the first dates of the men's freestyle 74 kg event of the 2020 Summer Olympics on August 5th as one of the favorites to win the gold medal. Dake was defeated by technical error for the first time since 2015 and not being able to have a point on an opponent since 2013, as well as a snapping a former 49-match winning streak. Dake battled and fought for the bronze medal as the Belorussian advanced to the finals, knocking out four-time World champion Geandry Garzón from Cuba and most notably two-time World Champion Frank Chamizo with flawless scores in repechage.
Dake earned the right to represent the United States in the 2021 World Championships without having to compete nationally to qualify for the US World Team, and he did so from October 2 to 3. Dake found his redemption after falling short of reigning European champion Tajmuraz Salkazanov for his third straight World Championship and his first at 74 kilograms.
Dake defended his Pan American Championship in his first match of the year, defeating Franklin Gómez on May 8.
