After the first round, and then into the second we knew Alex could stop Jon and we were trying to urge him to pressure forward, and not to respect any of the takedowns. He was stopping all of them. Jones wasn&#8217;t able to hold Alex down, even at the end, because he was so exhausted. We were really pleased when Alex took Jon down, because it made people realize that Alex is a monster himself. He&#8217;s so young, he&#8217;s going to be a beast, you know.
