Steven Micic concluded by saying, “I think it is very important from the wrestling perspective to kind of treat it super conducive for the sport for like one fight in one match. You can’t sustain peak ability for eight-plus weeks. It’s like impossible.” It did encompass professional camaraderie though, as they seemed to be having fun too.
