“I went to the locker room, I said ‘good morning everyone’ and I looked to the right and he was sitting there. He has an aura, an energy that you’ve never seen before, it’s as if he is glowing” were the words of the 22-year-old.
CJ Dos Santos acknowledged that “he has a different energy, he is a humble man. He is gentle, kind, talks about everything” and confessed that “I ask him for advice. He is a very accessible guy, it is impossible for you not to like him”.
