    Just showed this video to my wife and we're literally in tears. The experience Chito and his family went through is the same as ours. We also moved countries for our son and face the same challenges. The most beautiful thing about my son is also his smile - something we tell him every day.

      My 2 year old has Autism and sometimes I blame myself, I don't know why but I wish I could do more.
      It's not the same, but I can relate to an extent what it's like to have a child with a disability. I know it's nothing nearly as severe, but I know what that helpless feeling is like to sit there and look at your child and wish you could have or could do more to help them live a normal life.
      Much love to anyone with kids who go through something like this, you aren't alone and your hard work as a parent will always be cherished by your kids.

He popped on my radar after his fight against O'Malley, and since then I was curious of the reason that he was so aggressive, now I know this man is driven by love and need, no wonder he just tearing through a shark tank of a division.

    My family is from Peru, I've been to Ecuador (Guayaquil and Quito) twice because I have family living there as well. I've told every Ecuadorian I've met in NYC that I love their hunger to succeed. They hate being ordinary people, and they will literally be Stubborn as hell to get where they want to be. I feel Peruvians are the same, that's why we've bumped heads in the past lol. I have a great admiration for Ecuadorians and it's refreshing to see their flag waving in the air on the way to the Octagon, making their South American brothers proud. ✊🇪🇨 Rooting for you bro.

    What a touching story... I cried literally like a child... Chito is one of the best role models as a father and person... Her daughter is a blessing to him who made him what he is today... so much love and respect.
