Are you serious? Tell me you're making a bad joke.
He said 'Burn Hepatitis and send her to hell', the 'her' referring to the Hepatitis. Most languages assign genders to their nouns, I'm assuming 'hepatitis' is feminine in Portugese, and even if it isn't, people who speak a language in which there are marked genders tend to use 'he' or 'she' rather than 'it'.
Also: Hepatitis A isn't even an STD.
It mustve been transmitted from Anderson's big toe....
you completely misunderstood pigu.
Everyone's voting "cool" for the fact that Vitor has hepatitis A. Sick bastards.
its "cool" that he is being straight up with the fans and that he isnt letting it affect his position on the fight. Also he is being pretty positive about it so that is why we use "cool"
Thats is some serious sh*t man....i hope he does recover from it.
Ok let's admit it Vitor is a LITTLE too religious"Please god burn this Hepatitis and send her to hell" wtf?
i like Vitor, but yeah he comes off being too religious.
Although that's what gave him strength to fight through the dark times so i'll give him a pass on that
love Vitor as a fighter, but his head has been mind raped 1 too many times...
that what happens when you mess around with brazilian girls
