Blackshear on the battle’s secret minute
“It felt excellent. It felt smooth. I believe atfirst, I was simply assessing my variety, attempting to figure him out. I idea he was going to close the variety a little bit inadifferentway, however I figured him out. I discovered some timing. I discovered some setups, so that’s great. I’ve seen several circumstances, and that was one of them. Definitely, I was going to hurt him and he was going to shoot frantically, and I was going to get behind. If I took his back, and he offered me the submission, boom: I was going to take it.”
