'The King' Danny Kingad is set to make his highly anticipated return to action against former world champion and longtime rival 'Mikinho' Adriano Moraes of Brazil.

Danny Kingad says Lions Nation MMA separates itself with unparalleled "passion for training"

'The King' Danny Kingad believes he's with the right team because Lions Nation MMA consists of a motivated group of athletes who he considers as brothers.

The team trains vigorously, feeding off each other's energy and learning from individual experiences. They have produced world champions such as 'The Rock' Honorio Banario, 'The Passion' Joshua Pacio, and their leader, Eduard Folayang.

Kingad said of Lions Nation MMA:

"I think we’re more free in terms of training. It’s different from before because back then, we usually focused on specific things. Now, we get to explore which areas we want. But our passion for training is still there, and our goal to get to World Championship level remains."
