"Everything I do ends up reflecting on the (gay) community, but it's not something I'll hide, it is what it is. There's nothing wrong with it, and I'll keep on doing (what I'm doing). "The fight community as a whole in Brazil is very supportive, all the fighters respect my sexual orientation There was only one instance where I did an interview and some people in the forums said some stuff. But it wasn't anything compared to how the whole community deals with it. "It's a big mark on the sport, especially in the UFC," getting a chance to fight on national TV is huge. It's a huge opportunity, anyway. But we are getting a good chance to show the sports community what we're capable of, and I'll try to make everyone proud while I'm there. "I hope to win, like everybody else. But most of all, I'm here to put on a show for the crowd." |
