“It doesn't matter how fast someone is, if I can time them well, I can get my Takedown. As soon as they are on the floor, they are not fast; you manage someone who is fast, put them on the floor. Speed is not that critical.
“He was quickly on the floor, but I managed to put him on the floor several times; it was a nice fight. You could then see how talented this boy would be.
