Folayang had also trained at Jackson’s Wink ahead of his fight with Amir Khan a few years back.

"With all honesty, I can no longer contain my excitement over the chance to train with them once again. The new chapter for me begins in the States, and I am incredibly grateful," Folayang noted in the interview.

Pacio, meanwhile, will be training in the United States for the first time and is excited about the prospect of learning some new things.

"It will be my first time in the States. Of course, I'm super excited. But at the same time, I am looking forward to fully maximizing the opportunity that has been given to us," Pacio added.

"We only seek two things in this journey—to learn and to grow by exposing ourselves to different styles and training methodologies of mixed martial arts. Nothing more, nothing less, Joining any stable or group is not part of the plan. Joshua and I intend to come back home and share what we've learned,” Folayang added.
