“But he is such a hard working person, disciplined and focuses on what he wants.
“I think they have the specialty that you need to become a fighter. Dedication and discipline.
“We have a very good relationship. I went to Saudi for the first time two years ago and I got an opportunity to meet Cristiano.
“He was in the pool with his family and we were chatting next to the pool and accessories for 45 minutes – it just looked very real.
“We looked like people who knew each other for a very long time but it was the first time. It was one of the times you had to pinch yourself.
