“We can’t always win but can always prepare ourselves the best we can. This camp was full of hardship and trial but I thank God for giving me the strength to go on. Thank you to my team at @sanfordmma and big thank you to @henrihooft for flying all the way to Singapore 3 times now with me. Thank you to my family and friends for always being there for me. When times are hard, keep going and keep doing what’s right. Love you all and see you guys soon in the @onechampionship circle.”

Aung La had a lot to talk about in the post-fight media interaction as well.
