Sharif Sharifov was bronze in last years olympics. However Sharifov won the Gold medal in 2012. And in 2011 Sharifov beat Taylor's college coach Cael Sanderson at the World Championships. Taylor is looking better than I have ever seen him!

Taylor's conditioning was amazing. His opponents could hardly get back the center of the mat, and Taylor looked like he could go another 6 minutes. He looked darn good.
