This came about when the lady reporter, Dyan Castillejo, after pointing out the unprecedented rise of Team Lakay in the world of MMA, asked the question, "What's the secret?"

While Former ONE flyweight champion Geje Eustaquio gave a scientific answer, crediting the mountainous terrain of the Cordilleras, and the fresh supplies of vegetables for the extraordinary strength and stamina being displayed by the Igorot warriors of TEAM LAKAY, Danny Kingad, wasn't shy, in fact, he was smiling when he added, WATWAT may have something to do with it.

Yes, he actually said it. Check this video out.
