I just wanted to take a few minutes to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you for your support. Last night, there was a TON of pressure on me. But I pushed through it and got the win. It wasn't pretty, I could have fought better, but I got the W for myself, for all of you, and for my brother Anthony. I felt so much love from so many different people. Once again, I just want to show my gratitude.
