When we got to our feet, I wanted to make something happen, so I took a chance. It worked out for me.
I saw a chance to score and put the match back on my side. I knew he had a little more riding time than me in overtime, so I was going to have to score to win.
I think I'm a fair-sized '41, definitely not big but fair enough. I feel like I've filled into the weight class for the first time in five years. As far as scoring, I've always felt that if I really need to score, I can go on anyone in the country for the most part.
We have a history . . . It was definitely a match the fans were looking forward to.
This (season) I think I wrestled both matches fairly smart. He came after me in our last meeting a little differently than he has in the past, so it threw me off a little. I adjusted and the outcome of the match was in my favor.
As much pressure as I probably should be feeling, I really don't feel any pressure.
It's even better that the team pulled this out and did great.
It's not over until it's over, so I'm always looking for some way to score.
I just wanted to score some points and get that major (decision). It was important for me to reach 100 (wins). I want to be up there with Cyclone greats.
He's the hardest in the nation to wrestle. He's fast, strong and a great athlete. He has everything that I have to offer, maybe more.
