O f\u00e3 de mma tinha que entender que existe um guerreiro dentro de cada pessoa que sobe naquele octogono para lutar. Um sair\u00e1 com a vit\u00f3ria e o outro com a derrota. A luta maior n\u00e3o \u00e9 a que todos veem quando fecham o port\u00e3o da jaula, e sim aquela do dia a dia, que faz com que o lutador abdique de muitas coisas para viver em fun\u00e7\u00e3o do esporte. Eu sa\u00ed de casa com 15 anos de idade, sem dinheiro e sem apoio, s\u00f3 carregava nos bolsos um sonho e muita coragem, hoje vivo ele. Venci 13 lutas como profissional e conquistei a oportunidade de disputar o t\u00edtulo da maior organiza\u00e7\u00e3o de lutas do mundo, mas por algum motivo(que com certeza vai ser corrigido), a vit\u00f3ria n\u00e3o veio dessa vez, por\u00e9m fica aqui o aprendizado. Porque para mim, no final de tudo o que vale a pena \u00e9 a minha evolu\u00e7\u00e3o pessoal e espiritual. E que venham outras batalhas!! Obrigada aos f\u00e3s fi\u00e9is, amo voc\u00eas. || The mma fan have to understand that there is a warrior within each person climbing that octagon to fight. Someone will to win and the other will lose. The biggest fight is not what everyone sees when they close the door of the cage, but the one day by day, which makes the surrender fighter many things to live according to the sport. I left home when I was 15 years old, no money and no support, only carried in my pockets a dream and a lot of courage, and I live this dream today. I won 13 fights as a professional and won the opportunity to compete for the title of the biggest organization of fights in the world, but for some reason (which certainly will be corrected), the victory did not come this time, but here is the learning. Because for me, the end of everything worthwhile is my personal and spiritual evolution. Waiting for the next battles !! Thanks to my loyal fans, I love you all. #teamgadelha<\/a><\/p>\n
