Hi everyone, I have an important message… I am very grateful and fortunate that my career has made me live so many great moments. I want to thank everyone who always supported me. I was honored to fight great battles and share the ring in my prime with the best Lethwei fighters. I was also fortunate to have fought many times in Tokyo, Japan and to have contributed to bringing Lethwei in the USA. I was the first Lethwei fighter to become an ambassador for the conglomerates Canal and 1xbet and made history as the first Lethwei fighter to make the cover of the renowned @karatebushido magazine what an honor after martial artists such as Bruce Lee (1974), Van Damme (1993), Bas Rutten (1997), Rickson Gracie (1998), Fedor (2007), GSP (2008), Francis Ngannou (2019). I have dedicated my career and my life to promoting Myanmar Lethwei to the world. I conducted around 100 Lethwei seminars in 30 countries, which had never been done before in the history of the sport. I waved the Myanmar flag in all my travels, and we can now be very proud that Lethwei is being practiced all around the world. I defended the Golden Belt title 9 times from many different international challengers under traditional rules (KO only to win) and remained undefeated. I am proud to say that I was able to hold all the major Openweight belts. I sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears to get to the top of Lethwei and these titles are my rewards. Thank you to my mentor @sifupatrickmarcil for everything. I will now focus on my family, business, and opening the @LeducLethwei MMA & Fitness gym (location TBD). The state of the world and the situation in Myanmar in the last 3 years has made it incredibly difficult for me to continue my career… It’s a very sad time as citizens including some Lethwei fighters have been injured or arrested. Recently I was very saddened to hear that Too Too, my former opponent has been killed in custody. I want to thank everyone for the continuous support, but I am officially retiring from Lethwei & professional fighting. I have been invited to make one last fight in Cambodia under Kun Khmer, it will be my last competition. Thanks for the amazing ride, love you all 👊🏼💛

Rest In Peace brother 🙏… Right now in the amazing and beautiful country of Myanmar 🇲🇲 there’s unrest… but you probably didn’t even hear about it because there’s no economic benefits to the west to cover it in mainstream media. We should be as concerned about what’s happening in Myanmar, with what’s happening with Russia/Ukraine. What is incredible is Myanmar just lost one of its champion Too Too, who was protesting the military coup and was arrested last year. Too Too, my brother you were a warrior and a legend of Lethwei and one of the toughest guys I have ever fought. Too Too was the the first one to welcome me into the world of Myanmar traditional Lethwei for my first fight of my career. I was brought in as a sacrificial lamb but we made history with a legendary battle. Even if we had back and forth on social media, know that it was only business brother and I always had great respect for your skills and insane endurance (he never got knocked out in 65 Lethwei fights) you died as a champ… It was a pleasure to share the ring with you 🙏 Rest In Peace, and I promise you to continue promotion Lethwei, our shared passion 🙏

Training in Myanmar 🇲🇲 (2019 – Before the military coup) Man, I miss Myanmar… I try to help the people and gyms as much as possible right now and sending money during these atrocious times. Villages burnt, wells poisoned, protesters shot, rights violated, people arrested and killed.. even my former opponent Too Too, the one who welcomed me into Lethwei for my first fight, was just announced dead (via @lethweiworld) it’s a very dark time for the country. Currently the economy and tourism is at a standstill and it’s plunging the country back into the shadow once again. Since winning the world title in the 2016, we had made amazing strides and brought the sport around the world, thought seminars to over 2000 students, spoke on the biggest podcasts in the world, brought the sport to new countries and live in UFC fight pass. Now that the country is in turmoil, the best I can do is continue to showcase the beautiful and badass art of Lethwei to the world by hosting Lethwei fights in my promotion. Stay strong Myanmar 🇲🇲🙏
After a successful first event, I wanted to go bigger and better for MFC 2, my second event as a promoter. Saying that I’m extremely proud of the work of the whole team at @worldwidemfc would be an understatement! 🙏 We f**king killed it. Partnership with @fitetv, Lethwei world title sanctioned by the @worldlethweifederation, legendary commentary by @robinblackmartialarts and INCREDIBLE bloody fights and stoppages! *Yes, we named the promotion “Marshall Fighting Championship” after @joerogan‘s dog “Marshall” (@marshallmaerogan) and yes that’s him on the center cage floor, because Marshall is f**king G 😄 Hatala vs Saladiak was a blood war, these guys have my full respect. I will remember this event for ever. (check out the last slide to see a Robin Black showing the aftermath of our crazy event!) We are already looking at suitable cities and venues for MFC 3 👀 Wanna fight? DM @worldwidemfc
