“It’s the first Christmas in this house, and there’s someone who is very special to me. I couldn’t help but think about a gift for this person. I’d been imagining it for a long time. This person is very important to me; they changed my life. If it weren’t for this person, today I wouldn’t have a great house, a great car, and I wouldn’t be here happily sharing this moment with you all. They are one of the people responsible for changing my life, giving me a profession, and teaching me many things inside and outside the gym,” said the UFC fighter.
Coach shocked by the attitude.
“Is that mine? Oh my God. Stop it. Are you kidding me? I have no words to describe this kid. He's the same kid who's been the same since he came into my gym 17 years ago. I didn't expect this. Are you crazy, Carlinhos?”, said the coach.
