I had a split decision where I had to go and make an adjustment. Do something different. Realize that that is a lot of power, and I need to adjust to the situation as it's happening.
I knew there was going to be a submission, I just didn't expect it to be in the first round. We weren't going to work too hard in the first round, we were going to see how it goes.
