‘Okay guys, I’ve been keeping it dark for a while, you’ll probably notice I’m getting thinner now to 109kg. I prepared myself for professional training to fight in MMA,” he wrote.
“I’m pretty sure I’ll start this week with a very well-known international kickboxer who I’ve always admired as my coach (you’ll find out soon).
“I’ve never had kickboxing coaching or any coaching before and if you read my book you would know that everything is learned in prison and at some point in my life it was a dream of mine.
“I’ve decided to do this now to show not only everyone I inspire, but myself that nothing is too late.. I’m 36.. I grew up as a drug addict.. I wasted in prison.. couple you for I can set foot in a gym for the first time at 36 and possibly be good’
The 36-year-old went on to say that he won’t train for some “bulls**t” YouTube or TikTok fight night that he secretly promotes, and that he will train twice a day, six days a week to achieve his dreams. .

‘[It happened] out of nowhere. I did a double take and I saw myself for what I was. I saw a junkie.
“I don’t know who gave me that insight, I don’t know if it was God or if I was in the middle of a beneficial psychosis.”
“I looked at myself and I thought ‘you’re a mess’. You’re a junkie sitting in a cell with the bottom of the earth in the middle of the bush and thinking you’re a crazy c**t.’
Spaniard found viral fame for the first time share stories about his past life and how he grew out of his criminal past in a social media series called Hood Logic.
