“An image says more than a thousand words. @ufcespanol @ufc<\/p>\nThanks to my team working with my brother @rigo_babyface_rodriguez for being the one who puts me in my place when I need it, I respect the older brother who has never let me down and regardless of the circumstances he is always there.<\/p>\n
@izzystylewrestling is that coach that you think is crazy, just for having a mentality stronger than others and for having the mentality of a champion, who has taught me both life and sports and to whom I owe a great part of my preparation as athlete and person.<\/p>\n
@victordavilaufc is the one who, regardless of the circumstances, is willing to help and open the doors of his house for people like me who are searching for a dream. He is a guide that God put in my way to bless me by teaching me that there are still people of GREAT HEART!<\/p>\n
@pedrocamberos_123 thanks for the work we have invested for my preparation and especially these last 2 weeks, you are one of the few who know why we went to get to this fight and this photo reflects what we had together as a team to get here!<\/p>\n
@treigning_lab @jarchmma thanks for the excellent work to be 100% healthy to my fight! I swear that I had never had an easier weight cut, as well as my recovery before the fight. @jarchmma bro you where amazing I wish everyone could have a friend like you.<\/p>\n
#ufc25years.<\/p>\n
@tikighosn @monsterenergy #family @hansmolenkamp thank you for the trust!”<\/em><\/p>\n
