00:00:00
I think she followed my steps but now
00:00:02
like she she found out like a bigger
00:00:04
Mountain her style her
00:00:07
authenticity uh her Joy when she fights
00:00:10
uh I think it's inspiring like the
00:00:13
adrenaline comes right but she has a lot
00:00:15
of Courage Sarah has a big
00:00:19
[Music]
00:00:21
heart I always remind her of who she is
00:00:24
you know and um I always try to bring
00:00:27
her confidence and um give her a few
00:00:30
tips but something that we always do and
00:00:33
I always do before she fights is to pray
00:00:37
for her and pray with her
00:00:41

so it all did a little bit of guard a
00:02:54
little bit of passing so honestly I'm
00:02:57
flowing I'm going I feel good I think my
00:02:59
my Jitsu is um very much kind of like
00:03:03

00:03:06
happens happens no matter what position
00:03:07
I'm in I feel get in so you know finals
00:03:11
can be the hardest one cuz we're both
00:03:13
fighting for gold but I I'm hungry here
00:03:16
so I'm going to win this that's the sah
00:03:18
we always want to see right uh if you
00:03:22
look like with the with the fans as a
00:03:24
fans perspective I I love way more when
00:03:27
she competes the way she did the same
00:03:29
finals rather than her first match but
00:03:33
uh we need to respect her her feelings
00:03:34
you know the way she wants to feel the
00:03:36
every match the way she wants to feel
00:03:38
the opponent the way she wants to
00:03:39
progress through the tournament and
00:03:42
she's doing great she hasn't lost any
00:03:43
position yet you know uh two submissions
00:03:46
so far no points to score on her always
00:03:49
with a dominant um performance one more

think I lost one position and uh in my
00:05:05
mind I kept saying like no I'm going to
00:05:07
fight I'm not going to stop until uh the
00:05:10
ref says stop or I'm not going to stop
00:05:11
until the timer buzzes I would not stop
00:05:14
hustling until I got what I wanted and
00:05:16

something I always do uh happy to be

fighting open class I think it's a way
00:06:11
to test
00:06:13
myself um is it nerve-wracking a little
00:06:16
bit
00:06:17
but it's more because I already found my
00:06:20
weight division this is more like for
00:06:23
fun you know to test myself put myself
00:06:24
out of my comfort zone uh me and lilan
00:06:27
always uh we always like to close out we
00:06:30
always like to fight the open weight so
