00:00Joining us live in the studio are the MMA fighters, Aaron Davis, Marwin Quirante, and the head coach, Nong Loryo.

00:10Gentlemen, good morning and welcome to PTV Sports.

00:14Good morning!

00:17First of all, let's start with our fighters, Aaron and Marwin.

00:24What have you been up to and what have you been preparing?

00:30Let's start with Aaron.

00:35Currently, I'm recovering from an injury.

00:38But soon, I'm working out to lose weight and go back to amateur and fight.

00:51Let's start with Marwin.

00:56Marwin, what are you up to?

01:00Right now, I'm preparing for the upcoming fight on March 14 in the ONE Championship.

01:09My training is going well.

01:13My coach is always there to help me.

01:20Marwin said that he's preparing for the ONE Championship this March.

01:24Marwin, how did you discover MMA?

01:29What was your background in combat sports before?

01:34My cousin, CJ, brought me here to Manila.

01:46He's also a fighter.

01:50He became my idol so that I could like MMA, Muay Thai, and Boxing.

02:04He became my idol from the start.

02:07Right now, I'm still training so that he can become a champion.

02:20He wasn't able to do it, so I'll be doing it for him.

02:25Marwin, I have a follow-up question for my partner.

02:29When you started MMA, what were your first martial arts techniques?

02:35Did you start with one?

02:37That's how it was practiced in the late 90s and early 2000s.

02:42You'd start with one discipline, then you'd switch to another.

02:45That's how it was, right?

02:46But now, there are a lot of young fighters who start with MMA.

02:52Sometimes, they start with MMA.

02:56How about you, Marwin? How did you start?

03:00I started with Muay Thai and with my uncle.

03:09After two years of fighting, I switched to Jiu-Jitsu, like ground martial arts.

03:17I also did boxing.

03:23A few years later, in 2018, I switched to Coach Nong.

03:29I started wrestling before I started fighting MMA.

03:36Marwin, you have a lot of sports.

03:38Before he became a martial artist, he had a deep background in martial arts.

03:45Marwin, where did you compete?

03:47What were the international competitions that you participated in?

03:53My first international fight was in Pakistan.

04:00I won by TKO.

04:03Our fight was only 18 seconds long.

04:08My opponent was hot-tempered.

04:13I finished him off right away.

04:15My next fight was only a month ago.

04:19I won by TKO.

04:25A month later, I fought again.

04:29I won by decision.

04:34I choked bare-naked.

04:37Marwin is undefeated so far.

04:41His career is very promising so far.

04:44Coach Nong, we have a question for you.

04:50What do you think is your specialty?

04:55We also want to ask Coach Nong,

04:58where do you think you need to improve?

05:05For now,

05:07we need to improve Marwin's skills.

05:13We also need to improve his training.

05:16We need to improve his ground game.

05:20His striking is no longer a problem.

05:26We will improve his cross-training.

05:30We will train him with his friends.

05:36We will train him hard.

05:41Our target is UFC.

05:48For now,

05:50we will train him hard.

05:53Let's move on to Aaron.

05:55He said he has an injury.

05:59Aaron, tell us about your recovery.

06:03You said you want to compete when you get better.

06:06Where do you plan to compete?

06:09In MMA,

06:10locally first.

06:12But I've competed in Kazakhstan,

06:15in wrestling,

06:16and mostly in Uzbekistan.

06:23Those two countries.

06:25What is the nature of your injury?

06:27It's a wisdom tooth.

06:29It's a simple injury,

06:31but it's a long recovery.

06:34It's an impacted wisdom tooth extraction.

06:38Aaron Davis is also an advocate

06:41for our combat sport athletes.

06:44As a matter of fact,

06:45he has a group.

06:46You can tell more about that.

06:48How do you support mixed martial arts

06:51here in the Philippines?

06:54The opportunity for mixed martial arts

06:57here in the Philippines

06:59is only now becoming popular,

07:01unlike boxing and other sports.

07:04With mixed martial arts,

07:08it's only now being developed.

07:11It's only now being known.

07:12There are many opportunities for kids,

07:15especially one of the future of our MMA,

07:19Marwin.

07:20At a young age,

07:22he has a bright future.

07:25He's a prodigy of the Philippines.

07:28He's in line with Manny Pacquiao in MMA.

07:34Aaron said that the opportunities

07:37here in the Philippines

07:39for professional fighters are hard

07:41for mixed martial artists.

07:43Because the leagues are limited.

07:47We know that there's the URCC,

07:50the ZUS Combat League,

07:52and of course,

07:53the Asia-wide,

07:55if you can be in the Asia-wide level,

07:58the ONE Championship.

07:59That's where Marwin entered.

08:02Marwin,

08:04describe,

08:05we know that the competition

08:08here in the ONE Championship

08:09is really higher

08:11compared to the local leagues, partner.

08:13So,

08:14didn't you get nervous?

08:17Or were there any challenges

08:19when you first competed in the ONE Championship?

08:23You can't get rid of the nervousness,

08:26and the anxiety,

08:28because there are a lot of people watching you.

08:30Not just outside the ring,

08:33but the whole world.

08:35But,

08:37when you're inside the ring,

08:39you only have one opponent.

08:42So, it's just him and me.

08:44So,

08:46that's it.

08:47My mindset for that is,

08:51if I get hurt,

08:53I'll hurt him too.

08:57That's give and take.

08:59Whatever you give me,

09:00he'll face it,

09:01but it's more fun.

09:02Match the energy, partner.

09:04Match the energy, yes.

09:05Oh, that's like,

09:06teammates,

09:08don't get advice

09:09that's love-life advice.

09:11It's just a match.

09:12Why team you for love-life?

09:14If you get hurt,

09:15you'll get hurt too, partner.

09:16What if I love you?

09:17You'll love me too.

09:18That's what's good about it, partner.

09:20I have a question for your coach.
