level to fight against the best fight of the world of course in my weight class you know I have some lose but another another weight class is sometimes I'm get frustated you know because we don't have opportunity to fight many many good fights don't have opportunity to fight in big organization know like because don't have a manage don't have one guy to can get this fight for for them and then I'm feeling like that I'm feeling Fred you know like bro if the GU putting one FFC Champion world when if onefc Champion to fight with me today I beat this guy bro okay I you you can you can think I'm I'm thinking I'm I'm talk [ __ ] right now but I'm not I'm not talk [ __ ] bro I know what what I can do what I know I know I'm so I'm I'm just fruited not just for me for many fighters around the world don't have opportunity to fight in one big organization you know they we have we have him I think some Fighter the guys have to know some guys you know they they have to know some guys but we need not just to be a good fighter know you have to to get luck and good manage good people's working behind us now I'm I'm I'm trying to when I when I got Asia I'm just fighting 61 kilos and then I I was to Road FC and fight 63 kilos it's not my weight classes uh last year was my my first year in the 61 and then because of money I accept one fight in Korea and I One tournament if I want three fight that $100,000 I won the first fight I lost my second fight in Ro FC this guy Cho was X1 FC Champion he's very good fighter he's very good fighter but I feel he's tall and strong for me you know I'm I'm small as that him I'm I was fighting very well with him but I'm get tired in my fight I think I spent too much energy and strong to to follow him like to to fight with him and then was not good for me now I try to to lose weight and waight my weight classes uh I want to fight in flyweight 57 you know that's my real category my real weight classes and then I think it's 6 to1 in 1 FC is my perfect category because have hydratation test I can fight 61 if you don't have hydratation test it's is fly weight is my 57 it's my this is my weight classes and then the next year I hope to to get good fights in that weight classes fly weight but for be Champion for B Champion I believe it in the wait my master always say for me in Brazil Bruno Bruno you're going to do good fighting 6 to1 but fly weight you be Champion believe me believe me and then now I think I make wake up and say yes I have to get down my weight and then changeing my weight classes and more focus in my diet have to be get
