It is important that we are well prepared for the team remain in high level", said Minotoro, training ground with his brother Rodrigo "Minotauro”. "My brother came from the United States to help me. I’m doing a lot of sparring with him... I’m broken, he’s beating me a lot (laughs)”, jokes, hungry for a victory in his first fight in Brazil. "I think that I’ll go well and I will get another victory. Being in Brazil, it will have a special taste", finalized Rogério, waiting for the confirmation of his next fight in Affliction, which should happen in August.
