Thani Pens Emotional Tribute To Monarchy MMA Amid Departure

Agilan Thani enters the Circle at ONE: CENTURY

Agilan “Alligator” Thani spent nearly nine years with Monarchy MMA in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. But on Friday, 29 May, he announced he is leaving the storied gym to embark on the next phase of his mixed martial arts career.

“I still remember my first day at Monarchy MMA, training in that small room in a condo with my first-ever coach, Samir Noury Mrabet, alongside the Subba brothers, Keanu and Gianni,” Thani wrote.

“It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but I want to personally venture out on my own to see what I can find out for myself, so I can bring it with me into the bright lights of ONE Championship and also my life.”

Thani thanked his past coaches, teammates, and students in the heartfelt tribute to Monarchy MMA.

The post is an example of the Malaysian welterweight’s integrity. Now, the talented athlete is ready for the next chapter of his professional career.
