It bothers me a lot when people can not feel the real power of fighters words because a lazy translation and that has been a rule when we talk about brazilian fighters. I really feel the UFC and the fighters should have a higher standard with the translation issue. Its bad for the product and its bad for theirs carreers as people will not relate to them as much as they really dont understand their emotion, but just some generic cold translation. So I'll try to do my best here to translate exactly what Charles said on the octagon interview and if you like it I can translate the post-fight press conference too later.
CHARLES: Thank you, really, thank you from heart. You said that I deserved this opportunity. I wanted to show that what you said was truth, I can, I am the best in this weight class.
ROGAN: Well, you show that tonight sir.
CHARLES: Hey Dana, believe in me, Im not just another one, you gave me a guy with 20 days in Tony, I did what you thought nobody thought I would do, I came there and did the opposite (here he did not express himself very well, just trying to say Dana and anybody thought he would do that to Tony). You brought here a monster from Bellator and I knocked him out, I told I was going to KO him, I just missed the round. 11 years ago I entered here and said I was a kid in the middle of the lions, today Im proving you and everybody that I am a lion in the middle of the lions. Michael, I respect you so much brother, you are a great champion but today is my day once more. Thank you Jesus, all the honor and glory for you. Favela (hood), once again we won! You can cry but cry from joy because it (shows the belt) is ours today!
ROGAN: Charles, It was an amazing fight, it was an amazing performance, but it was not without its difficulties. In the first round he had you hurt, how bad were you hurt?
CHARLES: See, we have a team union in Chute Boxe Diego Lima and Macaco Gold Team. It can rain stones, brother, because later when the stones come back you'll all lay down. Look, Michael told everytime I took pressure I would fold and I said this was over. He saw what happened, he hit, hit, hit but I bounced back. It was written, today was my time to shine, Jesus (kiss the belt) one more time is with me. Daughter, you asked for it and its here, daddy is bringing you (shows the belt).
ROGAN: Spetacular sir, congratulations, you are the new UFC LW champion of the world.
CHARLES: Thank you Houston, look, Im brazilian but this belt is all ours. I told I was a kid beetween lions, Im a favelado (person who came from the favela/ghetto) who won in life, thank you, never give up on your dreams! If you have faith it wiil happen, thank you!
