“Everything is a blessing for us, both wins and losses because we get to assess what we lack and what we can work on. We’ve been working and improving on our weaknesses, and that’s something that we will show next year – a team filled with more well-rounded MMA athletes,” he added.

When asked about his favorite memory from the year that went up, Pacio noted that it was all about being grateful.

“Surviving COVID-19. I caught the virus and I survived, so I’m grateful. And then, of course, the resumption of the training, and I’m happy to see my teammates get their big breaks here in ONE Championship,” he concluded.
