We all saw in that stretch, he finished all but one of those fights. Even when he was an amateur, that's something that I really saw in him, that killer instinct," he said, while even hailing him as one of the fighters with some of the heaviest hands he's ever seen in MMA.

"I'd say he has one of the heaviest hands I've ever handled. Of course, our champions in the past have their own thing, but I believe these next generation of athletes like Carlo have the same instinct. They want to finish the fight in whatever way possible," Sangiao bared.

"That's exactly what ONE Championship wants, work to finish. For as long as we have that opportunity, we don't want to leave our fate in the hands of the judges."

But despite the great showing that 'The Bull' has consistently shown, Sangiao maintained that Carlo must be as, if not, hungrier now that he is bound for ONE's main roster.

"What I always remind him is that he shouldn't stop working. Just because he's already reached the main roster, doesn't mean he could abandon all the hard work," he said.

"As coaches, we're here to remind him that wherever he ends up, we're always here to help him out. I hope he always remembers where he came from because humility is one of the keys to why he's here."
