I saw Sam just before the main event. He was right outside the men's bathroom taking some pics with fans. He cleaned up well, dressed nice, hair combed, not many marks on his face.
I could tell he wasn't wanting to get swarmed with fans, so I just patiently waited and I told him I don't need a picture I just wanted to thank him for all the fights he put on as well as for going out on his shield. I said the fight was entertaining the entire time, I wanted him to win but I'm glad he fought the way he did. He said he appreciated that.
