It was the right decision. Lovett is a generational talent on top.
Very similar situation to last year but Lovett CHOSE top when tied 0-0 going into the 3rd (which shows you how confident he is on top). Henson got out but it took >40 secs if I recall.
Lovett has has an advantage on the mat, and especially on top. Henson has an advantage from neutral. This match was wrestled entirely from neutral. Henson has to be able to get the TD within 7 full minutes, and he would more times than not, but couldn't do it when it counted.

Henson went with his strength. He clearly can get to Lovett's legs so you

I also think Ridge being aggressive right off the whistle set the tone…
