A VERY HARD FIGHT
This was the headline of a latin newspaper here in the US and that's how I would describe this fight. I was very prepared physically and technically, I congratulate my team for that. They managed to do a great job.
I really gave my best and I'm here proving that I fight anyone and also proving that Brazilians are tough and go till the end. I thank everybody that supported me.
Tomorrow I'll post a video commenting the fight, recognizing what went wrong... and what went right...
Did you people got excited about the fight yesterday? Then I'm happy for making you cheer! Thanks for the support, people... and see you next time!
