God bless. . . 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 . . Esta não é uma notícia tão boa para meus queridos fãs. Sei que estão ansiosos para me verem lutando novamente e vocês iriam me ver em abril mas teremos que adiar devido a uma séria lesão no bíceps que tive. Em breve poderei mostrar todo meu potencial mais uma vez, provavelmente em junho. Até lá amigos. Deus abençoe A todos! #somostodosborrachinha #theeraser
