I was at home yesterday, I had just got back from a trip. I was someone’s joke on Twitter, since it was April Fools’ Day, so then I realized that it was April Fools’ Day. Then I started thinking about it. Nobody knew what would happen with the Mousasi fight, and a lot of people were saying that I should fight. So I wrote my first tweet. I counted to 7 and my phone started ringing. It was the reporter for Globo.com, these guys are fast. Now that’s what it means to be efficient. I was at home and they were calling me for the news. How is it that everyone is tricked on April Fools’!? Some people got mad, but take it easy, everyone gets tricked some day.
