Felipe Costa did that 10 years ago | Read caption

This is what I wrote 10 years ago: There is only one reason why I keep fighting tournaments, to challenge myself. This challenge, I believe, keeps me motivated to train and improve, when I get on the mat I'm seeking to be better than I was and avoid mistakes based on my previous experiences.
Logically, who's got that mentality has no negative sentiment towards the opponent and that is not only a beautiful speech, I've proof that in plenty of fights.
I'm not saying that rivalry and sometimes a dose of aggression should not exist, but even if there is a personal reason, the aggression must be the most under control. Championship is not you against the other, it's you against the last version of yourself.
