"When I started training him, he would drink one liter of cachaça per day. I could see in him that he was fragile. I was training him in the ring one day, trying to teach him some difficult moves. I was pushing him hard, so I punched him right in the stomach and he went down. I thought to myself, f***, he's weak. Am I wasting my time with him?
But he was back up, seconds later. I saw tears in his eyes. I realized he wasn't weak. He was a warrior. He was rotten inside, due to the things he used. He was contaminated."
