IMHO Just watching him, I think the cut is wearing on him. I hope he can


get his weight under control. He used to be the first guy back to the center in prior years. Eager to get back after his opponent. Now, I have noticed a lot of "stalling" tactics from him after the whistle. If you watch any of his matches yesterday you will notice that he is very slow back to center, and uses any opportunity that he can to lengthen the match. I have seen this in the past as well. I am really hoping that the two day weigh in doesn't really take a toll on him and that he is able to get his weight under control as the season comes around. Hopefully I am wrong on this assessment, but something doesn't seem right. Either way I will be cheering for him big time today.

With regards to his wrestling, he has always gotten under guys on his single leg shots, and then used his power and scrambling ability to get the TD. That is part of what really hurt him at 174, because he couldn't over power those guys as easily. It was an adjustment that he had to make. I think that he is still finding himself back down at 165. If he can bring it all together he will be fine. My fingers are crossed.
