Pedro had a baby recently and said that he wants to make money for his family because of bad economic times in Brazil. (I read this in a recent article) This explains the quick turnaround to fight because he needs the money, however, what I did not understand was why he missed weight by 3 pounds? He didint try to cut anymore, He knew they were going to take %30 off his purse and did. I thought he needed the money?
Hes either going to do everything in his power to win this fight and desperately wanted that 3 pound advantage, or he doesn't care about winning and was not properly prepared for this fight and just needs a payday.
