One kid captured the hearts of everybody after a video of a bullied boy went viral on the internet and personalities from all industries showed their support and condemned the act that was done to him. Most of them cheered him up and some wanted to give him a treat.

But for ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong, the nine-year-old Quaden Bayles will be getting something that he will carry on forever.

The Thailand-raised martial artist posted on his social media that he will be giving the Quaden an all-expense-paid vacation in Singapore and martial arts training. The present hopes that Quaden, who has a condition called achondroplasia dwarfism, will make him “bully-proof” and he will be able to stand up on his own against the bullies. Sidyodtong also revealed that he was able to reach Yarraka, Quaden’s mom, and she accepted his invitation to The Lion City and have her son undergo training at EVOLVE MMA.

I just wanted to share an update on Quaden Bayles. I just spoke to his amazing mom, Yarraka, over the phone. She has graciously accepted my invitation to come to Singapore for an all-expenses-paid vacation so Quaden can learn martial arts at EVOLVE. https://t.co/Eoyzai2hUC

He also assured that he will be given the best training sponsored by Asia's largest MMA promotion, which was also posted by MMA Junkie.

Our instructors will be sure to bully-proof Quaden. If he wakes up from his nap, we plan to FaceTime tonight. Yarraka said that he might sleep through the night. If so, we will FaceTime tomorrow. Let us all take the opportunity to show little Quaden how much the world cares.

“I just wanna let you know that you have a friend out here in Asia and I know you’re going through incredible suffering and pain,” said the Thai entrepreneur. “I want you to know that God gives the toughest battles to His bravest and strongest soldiers, and for sure, you are one of them.”
