If you'd like to learn some more about Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares' rise out of poverty all the way to the UFC that is discussed in this piece, check out this video about him from UFC Brazil. It's fascinating.

If he ever said "get it?" to me
I would always respond “got it” even if I had no idea what he was talking about,
You know what they say

Definitely a fan!
Hope he sees some great success in his career, he deserves it!
Don't be scared Gomi...
Hopefully the UFC on FOX will show the world these stories
There are so many of the fighters we love coming from nothing and persevering through everything. I was already a Palhares fan, and this just shoots him through the moon to me. What a wonderful person and role model.
