We’ve trained together for many time, we’ve helped each other a lot… I really like him, I consider him a good friend and training partner. As I see it, it won’t change our friendship one bit, and I hope he sees it that way too.”

BTT co founder Murilo Bustamante was firm when he said: I don’t worry about it, I just go there and fight.
