Fathers hope. Champions know.
I’ve heard this story before: bigger men, stronger men, better men. Men who said I was just a small guy who was about to get a lesson in humility.
They all learned the truth the same way.
Your son already knows who I am. On June 14th, you will too. 18-0 PAPA 🌹
🤕🤣 Carlos Prates was saying sorry to JDM during the beating:
“He’s really tough. I said to him ‘Sorry, I don’t wanna hurt you, I just want a title shot.’ And he said ‘let’s go to the end.’ And I was like ‘Damn bro, he’s tough.’”

😁😂UFC cutman Brad Tate tells a story how he met Joshua Van before Van’s first fight in the UFC:
“So I meet this guy in the elevator — short-notice fight. He was nervous as h*ll. He kept saying, “Man, I don’t know if I belong here.” We had to talk to him and hype him up.
Then he shows up at the arena for the first fight of the night. Nobody was even there yet. The dude was nervous as h*ll. I told him, “Bro, calm down. You got this. Flip that switch, you know?”
“I don’t believe I should be here.”
His hands were literally shaking, and he was sweating like crazy. Then they go out there for the first fight, and the dude he was facing wasn’t feeling well.”
