“Today didn’t go to plan. Andre Galvao did a better job than I did. Great match! Now time to treat my body and make sure I’m fully fit for the next battle. Osss. Special thanks to my Wife Beata who took care of me and supported me like no one so I could find time to train. Thanks for my training partners. Is not easy to be a fighter, when the fight comes u need to be 110% if not that’s what happens. Thanks for the GB team. Thanks for my brother victor for being here.. “he wrote.
