‘The Immortal’ told the world’s largest martial arts organization:

"Sometimes when the fans go crazy, I cannot hear them, because the people [at Lumpinee Stadium] are very close, almost sitting close by the ring. But most of the time I can hear my trainers. It's like they have the joystick in their hands, and I'm the player."
