However, despite an impressive performance, the Brazilian did not leave the event completely satisfied.

In a post on the social network X (formerly Twitter), the fighter expressed his discontent with several aspects of his experience in France.

“Go to France without a bonus. France is trying to screw me over at the weigh-in. The French government takes a lot of my money. The only thing missing is not being in the top 6 tomorrow,” the Brazilian said.
