Increasing my luck daily. definitely my opponents will not be happy . -- Soon very good news and my next fight , Romero don’t knows what fuck shit he says. I’m not use steroids , I’m never doped like him . • ------------------------ Aumentando minha “sorte “ diariamente. Definitivamente eu não gostaria de estar na pele dos meus adversários. Muito em breve trarei ótimas notícias e a próxima luta, possivelmente em junho. E Não liguem para as baboseiras que falam de doping sobre mim, mera fantasia , isso é a maior idiotice do mundo sem dúvidas. -- @ct_funcional @andersonluiznoronha @felipe.reis.ctf #seguraotrembala
