Nagpasya na si MMA fighter Eduard Folayang, ang itinuturing na pundasyon ng mixed martials sa Pilipinas na lisanin ang kinikilalang MMA stable sa bansa.

Sa huling social media post, inanunsyo ni "The Landslide" ang kanyang pag-alis sa pamosong Team Lakay. "Lahat ng magagandang bagay ay may katapusan din.

Nakakalungkot at mabigat sa loob ko na ang misyon ko sa Team Lakay ay tuluyan nang natapos," saad ni Folayang.

Nagpahayag din ng buong pusong pagtanaw ang dating two-time ONE lightweight champion sa partnership sa Benguet-based MMA gym maging sa founder na si coach former MMA fighter Mark Sangiao. "Sa huling 16 na taon ng aking professional career bilang mixed martial artist, kasama ang mga matatapang at talented na mga tao sa Team Lakay. This stable was a large element in what I have become and the stature I have arrived at in our beloved sport," ani Folayang.

"Words will not suffice to aptly impart how grateful I am for our camaraderie that has led to our achievements and victories inside the Circle, as well as the heartbreaks that have driven us to keep going in pursuit of our ultimate goal. I will forever cherish every moment like a precious treasure."

Nakapagprodyus ang Team Lakay ng pinakamalalaking pangalan ng Filipino MMA champions. Tahanan ito ng elite fighters tulad nina dating ONE strawweight champion Joshua Pacio, former ONE flyweight champion Geje Eustaquio, former ONE featherweight champion Honorio Banario, former ONE bantamweight champion Kevin Belingon at iba pa.
