Defeated by Stefan struve quickly in the second most important fight at UFC Rotterdam, last Sunday (8), Antonio Pezão was the target of a lot of criticism from the public for suffering his fifth setback in his last seven fights. However, the heavyweight didn't let it go: he took to social media and spoke out against his detractors, even calling on them to show up at the gym where he trains for a sparring session.

“I will be very open and transparent to many shitty Brazilians. That’s why our Brazil lives in this misery, due to a lack of education, culture and anti-patriotism”, he wrote on his Instagram account. “I want you who just talk bad to go to hell, go sit on a very big cassava tree. If you think it's bad or get angry, I train from Monday to Saturday at the American Top Team gym. Show up there and don’t forget to bring a mouth guard, gloves and shin guards,” he added.
However, Pezão also left space to send a message to those who supported him after the defeat. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who recognize the work of a professional. I come to apologize for the outburst and lack of education to everyone who recognizes that a professional athlete cannot survive by victory alone. Nobody wants defeat, but we make a plan and God makes another”, he pondered.
Former challenger for the UFC heavyweight belt, Pezão has victories over names like Fedor Emelianenko, alistair overeem, Andrei Arlovski and Travis Browne. His recent phase, however, is not good, and, against Struve, the Brazilian fell in just 15 seconds.

Many think that, because we are famous, we have no feelings, nor the desire to respond to something. I'm going to be very open and transparent to many shitty Brazilians. That's why our Brazil lives in this misery, due to a lack of education, culture and anti-patriotism. The envious, repressed for not achieving their goals and success in life, making it easier to sit on their asses in front of a computer and talk bad about others who work hard, over pain, exhaustion, tiredness and who often overcome illnesses. to achieve success. I want you who just talk bad to go to hell, go sit on a very big cassava tree. If you think it's bad or get angry, I train from Monday to Saturday at the American Top Team gym. Show up there and don't forget to bring a mouth protector, gloves and shin guards. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who recognize the work of a professional. I come to apologize for the outburst and lack of education to everyone who recognizes that a professional athlete cannot survive by victory alone. Nobody wants defeat, but we make a plan and God makes another.
