MMA - A Fathers Fight (MMA - Meu Melhor Amigo)

Thirty seconds,,,

You're always lonelier than you think,

At the most difficult moments

nobody can help you,

It's all in your hands,

Only yours,

Come on!

This is my secret:

Believing in myself until the end,

Because my motto is,,,

"Never give up,"

Did I already tell you that?

"NEVER GIVE UP!"

You always say that,

Wait,

You're leaving?

We've been here for at least,,,

one hour,

And all you did was talk about yourself,

You don't know the pressure of being a world champion,

But that,,,

was five years ago,

And you don't even fight anymore,

What's wrong about wanting to share a special moment with you?

What's wrong is that you already shared that with me,

Yeah,

Twice, Max,

- You don't remember, do you? - Sure I do,

Say my name then,

Julia,

It's Sandra,

These days I can consider myself A lucky person

Because, although still quite young

I feel healthy, safe, and strong

And I've been thinking to myself

God is Brazilian and is walking by my side

So, I can no longer suffer For the past year

I've bled so much I've cried so desperately

I have died last year

A FATHER'S FIGHT

This year, I'll stay alive

I've bled so much I've cried so desperately

I have died last year This year, I'll stay alive

I have died last year This year, I'll stay alive

Allow me to speak Not the scars I bear

They have a supporting role Or, better saying, they're extras

Who shouldn't even be here

Allow me to speak

Not the scars I bear

Believing my suffering defines me Is the worst possible crime

You're awarding our executioners And making us disappear

I've bled so much I've cried so desperately

I have died last year

This year, I'll stay alive

They are delicious! Pamonhas, pamonhas, pamonhas!

Come taste delicious pamonhas ,

Fresh homemade pamonhas ,

Made from pure corn juice,

We have curau and pamonhas ,

Come taste these delicious treats!

What's up, Max!

- Hey, - How's your shoulder?

My shoulder? Great,

Back to normal,

You sure it's OK?

Yeah, I'm telling you,

If it's OK, you're fighting today, right?

No, today's more of a maintenance training,

It's water aerobics,

It's physical therapy,

You know I had surgery, and coming back isn't easy,

By the way, good physical therapy is just like training, It hurts,

It really does, You're laughing at him,

but some people in my family say it really hurts,

- Who? - My grandma Geni,

For real, She says "It's so exhausting, dearie,"

Poor Ms, Geni,

Up, jab!

Jab, cross!

Up, jab!

Jab, cross!

Up!

Loosen your right arm,

Cross!

Did it hurt?

Of course not,

You groaned,

I groaned? When?

I wanna fight, Michel,

I need it,

Man,,,

That's not for you to decide,

Even if it's the last fight in my life, I need it,

This is normal for your age,

It takes time,

I have no more time,

- Do we have a meeting with Fabiano? - How should I know? He's your manager,

Naomi!

Take my place,

I got it, Dad,

Michel, when are you getting an espresso machine?

Never,

- How are those muscles? - I'm ready to fight,

- Really? - Just tell me when,,,

and where,

And why is your shoulder cold?

Well, I'm not here about a fight,

We have a problem,

A woman called Mariana

asked me for a DNA test for her son,

Another?

For God's sake, Fabiano,

It's serious this time,

It's always serious, I do three or four of these every year,

You know what to do, Take it to the lab,

They already have my blood, It's always false alarm,

I did that, It came out positive,

That's impossible,

I had a vasectomy seven years ago,

The boy is eight,

A woman who waits eight years to look for her son's father

is not after money,

What does she want?

Ask Max,

I don't even know this woman's face,

Max,,,

you didn't make a child over the phone,

I know,

Now get off and deal with this,

I'm not ready to be a father,

Nobody's born ready to be a father,

There's no training for that,

The only way to learn

is to be one,

Time to grow up, my friend,

- What's his mom's name again? - Mariana!

Hi, Max,

Come in,

I know I was a bit of a jerk,

I just didn't know about this,

Ma,,,

You never left my mind,

Max,,,

I'm not Mariana,

We've never seen each other,

We haven't?

My name is Laís,

I was friends with Mariana,

She tried everything,

Chemotherapy, radiotherapy,

alternative therapy,

She didn't want to reach out to you out of fear of looking

like a gold digger or some kind of scammer,

I never knew this,

I never knew any of this,

But,,,

she was an amazing mother,

She was so proud of raising her son by herself, you know?

And she made me promise

to never look for you,

So why did you look for me?

Because I never agreed with that,

I told her it didn't matter if you were a jerk,

or immature, or egocentric, or an absolute idiot,

You're still the boy's dad,

Listen,,,

You can't talk about me like that,

No, she said all that,

Okay, she had that right,

Max, I'm not Mariana,

I believe even the worst scumbag in the world can change,

Even you can,

Jesus Christ!

Are you okay?

Let's go,

What's up, buddy?

Is everything okay?

He's autistic,

What? Nobody told me he was sick,

- Is it serious? - Hey, listen,,,

First lesson you need to learn, Max: Autism is not a disease,

Bruno has a different way of dealing with his feelings,

with the world,

Sometimes, he can't understand even the simplest of things,

But sometimes he understands the world way better than us,

Be patient,

Open your heart,

Hey,,,

Give me a hug, little man,

Look, he doesn't like hugging,

Bruno,

Do you know who I am?

That's a collector's edition, you know?

He's a huge fan of yours,

Wait!

Don't ever dare touch that figure,

He doesn't let anyone near it,

Not even me,

Relax, Michel, it's going to be fine,

Laís prepared Bruno to stay with me,
