If I got that first takedown, then I'd have to make him wrestle instead of running away and making it a more defensive match for himself. I took him down and made him chase after me instead of the other way around.
I told myself to just go out and wrestle, wrestle hard and everything will take care of itself. I'm usually a fast-pace wrestler, I don't like plodding and the slow pace, so it was good.
If you make a mistake, (Jordan) will counter. I got the early takedown and wrestled safe, made him chase after me.
He was on his belly and I had my legs in. I just hipped in and it was there. I didn't really feel a lot of resistance.
I'm in a good spot. I just have stay calm, confident and relaxed and everything will take care of itself.
When he drove (Woodall) over in that last period, I just felt tingles down my spine and I was looking forward to my match.
I wanted to wrestle smart. (Jordan's) a strong kind; he's real defensive and explosive. If you make a mistake, he'll counter it.
I'm anxious to get out there. I feel positive and confident and ready to go.
