Yikes, he should have to register himself as a lethal weapon.
Thank the lord I am fleet of foot cause in a one on one contest my only chance of winning would be in a race.
As for his size — and the doping
accusations he has received on social media, given his history of failing a 2012 drug test for elevated levels of testosterone — Palhares pays no attention because “people say whatever they want to try to diminish your work, so that doesn’t bother me at all.”
Currently weighing 212 pounds, Palhares says his days as a welterweight are over. Coming off a 58-second loss at FNG after missing weight, “Toquinho” will move back to middleweight going forward.
”I felt really bad cutting weight last time,” Palhares said. “I can’t make that weight anymore. I almost died. I can’t do it. I missed weight, I almost died, had to be medicated. I look like a crackhead at 170, I reached my limit. That was the last time I cut that much of weight. I’m done. No more. I might die, something can happen.
”I thought about pulling out of the fight but I needed the money. What can I do? I have a family, man. When you have family there’s no coming back. I have bills to pay.”
