He said that he holds fans in the highest regard and called them the most important part of the business: "I think Glover Teixeira still has an old-fashioned mentality. The fighters need to keep talking with the audience, the fans. The audience, the fans are the most important thing in this business. And I care a lot to give my best for the people. It is so important." 'Borrachinha' added: "[Glover Teixeira] doesn't understand that. Who pays him? His salary? Or our salary? It's the people. And they pay very good money to watch this.
