Thank you very much Philippines, I will represent you guys from the bottom of my heart
I wanna say I love you to my beautiful wife, my kids, my mom, my dad, my sister, I love you guys
You know from the day when I was a kid I was watching cartoons and remember watching superheroes
I get to reenact that every time I step into the cage
I have a platform to talk about my life
I represent the Philippines, my family, the United States of America with my anti-bullying campaign and a lot of things
Guys, I try to be a role model to kids today
And guys, thank you very much for the support and the trust in me
I love you guys so very much, thank you

[Jon Anik]
I know it's obviously been an emotional fight week for you and you come up with the performance of a lifetime as you take the gloves off here in the octagon for the final time
Any message to the mixed martial arts fans around the world
You're the foremost gentleman in our game, as classy as it gets, and obviously what a way to go out
Any final message for the fans before you hang 'em up for good?
[Mark Muñoz]
You know, this is something I've dreamed about and I'd hope for
I know I didn't accomplish what I wanted to accomplish in the cage but, I invested a lot of my time in lives and I invested in treasures in their heart and I've been to help change lives and impact lives in a positive way
And guys, that's what I'm here for and-
I have a story, I have a story to be able to give to kids and-
I wanna be able to teach and come back here to Philippines and be able to give my talents, gifts, and abilities to you guys and
be able to help the Philippines in wrestling, and that's my goal
Guys, I have, I have so much to give to this sport
And guys, I'm putting my gloves in the center of the octagon because I got so much love and admiration for this sport
Thank you to the best organization on the planet in mixed martial arts
Thank you UFC, thank you Dana White, thank you Lorenzo
I will cherish these memories for a lifetime
And guys, we all have a story
And guys, mixed martial arts has been the story of my career
You might get hit by unforeseen things, people might get hit by-
You have cancer, you have diabetes but your life doesn't stop there
You get back up, and you keep competing to the best of your ability
And that's what my career is all about
And guys, thank you so much, I've been able to impact lives in a positive way
I give all the glory and praise to my lord Jesus Christ
And thank you very much Philippines, thank you United States, thank you everyone that loves me
