Main coach of elves brener, Diego Lima did not hide his pride and excitement for his pupil's emblematic performance in the UFC Las Vegas 76. Moments after the Brazilian's victory in the bloody battle against Guram Kutateladze, Mentou related the performance to the philosophy of Rocky Balboa, a legendary movie character. On social media, the coach paid tribute to the student.

“In fact, it's not how much you can hit, but how much you can hit and move on. How much you fall and get up. This is how champions are made and this is how true warriors are forged. As soon as a 'Chute Boxe' shows that it's real. We are made of blood, sweat and overcoming. It doesn't matter who is in front of us. It doesn't matter the size of our challenge. We are ready to kill or be killed and, you can be sure, whoever is on the other side, it is best to be prepared for the same, as we will always be 'Bad Weather All the Time'”, wrote Lima, in his profile on Instagram.
