UFC hopeful Top Noi Kiwram has admitted he smoked a cigarette minutes before and after his victory over Yuma Horiuchi.
Kiwram is hoping to make history by becoming the first fighter from Thailand to earn a contract with the promotion. He moved one step closer to his dream with a decision victory over Horiuchi last night to progress into the semi-finals of the Road to UFC in Singapore.
The 29-year-old later confirmed he smokes cigarettes every day but it has had no impact on his ambition of competing in the UFC. "For sure, I also do every day," Kiwram confirmed when asked if he had smoked before his bout. "Why not smoke cigarettes, why not do some bad things in your life? "Why do you care? Who cares? It makes no difference on the 20 or so years of my life. Now I will have a cigarette after this, yes after this press conference I will go and smoke a cigarette."
