Boxing legend, Acelino Popó Freitas He had no trouble confirming his status as favorite in Fight Music Show 8In the main fight of the event held this Saturday (30), in São Paulo, the former world champion of the noble art gave a show and won the rematch against Whindersson Nunes by unanimous decision. While celebrating the triumph, the veteran turned his attention to a rival.

Popó sent a less-than-friendly message to an adversary without mentioning his name. Despite the mystery, many speculated that the target of the Bahia native's attack was André Dida, coach of... Wanderlei Silva and his rival. It's worth remembering that after the boxing legend defeated "The Mad Dog" via disqualification at Spaten Fight Night 2 in September, members of the teams started a general brawl in the ring.

In it, Dida went after the boxing legend. After the incident, the Muay Thai specialist issued several challenges to Popó, who refused them all and made light of them. Now, the veteran, visibly irritated, minimized the importance of his 'mysterious' rival and used strong terms against him.

“We didn’t come here to have a gladiator fight. We came here to have a fight between people who are aware that you’re not a professional. I’m aware of that. That’s why I came to do this training with you. And not everyone has this luxury sparring partner,” said the former world boxing champion in a conversation with the comedian recorded by Combate.

“There are a bunch of idiots out there trying to challenge me, a bunch of dead cats wanting to challenge me, a bunch who claim to be coaches, who used to do Muay Thai, who won this and that, wanting to challenge me. My brother, nobody knows you, nobody knows who you are. Go find your place, clown! People know who I'm talking about,” he concluded.
