“I was like, ‘Man, I’m gonna need some caffeine wrestling at 9 or 10 o’clock at night,” Plott said.

Plott beat Mocco in last year’s final and avenged a February loss on Sunday night. Plott said he understood the situation and focused on scoring the next point. He scored a late takedown with less than 10 seconds remaining to seal the victory.
