Manel Kape, a fighter in the UFC flyweight division, explained why he celebrates his victories in the octagon in the style of the legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I was born in Angola, I represent my country. It is in my blood that I came from mother Africa. But I grew up in Portugal. I played football for a long time and celebrate the way I want. I do not forget my roots, where I was born. And I never forget where I grew up.
This means a lot to me. In Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest star, and in second place is Manel. And in Angola, I am now the main figure in sports.”
