Caio Borralho was candid. The Brazilian, who has a fight scheduled against Reinier de Ridder for UFC 326 on March 7th in Las Vegas (USA), didn't shy away from questions about the tension involving his teammates at the Fighting Nerds academy, athletes Jean Silva and Mauricio Ruffy . The Ultimate middleweight (up to 83,9 kg) gave his opinion on the "crisis" generated between the fighters.
In an interview with the portal 'Ag. Fight', 'The Natural' tried to downplay the tension that became public between 'Lord' and Ruffy. According to Borralho, the conflicts are part of the business and that doesn't mean either of them, or even both, need to stop being 'Nerds'. Within this context, the 33-year-old from Maranhão reinforced the academy's overall good moment, highlighting recent victories by Mairon, Michal, Karine, and other team members. For him, this discomfort can be resolved with rules, applying a "crisis management" strategy.
"There have been other conflicts at the academy, little squabbles here and there, and it's all been resolved, brother. They established rules and all that... it's a crisis management thing, maybe, this 'crisis,' because, if we look, everyone's winning their fights: Prates, Mairon, right? Jean now, Ruffy came back really well, Prates came back well, Mairon, Bruna now, Michal, Karine..."
"It's a crisis management situation that needs to be handled there, and Pablo, as the leader, will play his part, you know? I think that's basically it. I don't think anyone will need to leave. If someone leaves the team, it won't be because of anyone. Oh, Luffy left the team because Jean told him to leave… that doesn't exist, bro," said Borralho.
