"I ran off the mat and hugged my team. I mean, that was, it's like I said, it's like, you fight alone but everyone helps you get to that point. I cried a little bit, you know, 'cause of all that hard work," he said."I'm gonna leave everything out there 'cause you only go around one time," Damato said."I wanna have no what-ifs and be like, I did all of that.
