After winning the fight with a sharp guillotine choke, Warlley highlighted the work done by his team, X-Gym. “[Ronaldo] Jacaré passes me the car, submits me, throws me in the air all the time. If I train with him, I need to be able to submit someone. The team is well supported with the jiu-jitsu game,” he praised.
Warlley also said he's ready to handle all the visibility he's gained from the show. “I intend to stay focused and not fall into traps,” he said. Even so, he joked about what he will do with the prize he won. “I'm going to record a CD with the money [laughs]. Seriously, I'm going to invest, save it in savings and think about an investment in the future.”
