DARE FIGHT SPORTS Dr Jonathan Nutt Esq speaks to FSA because….. well, because we asked him to! I have been lucky enough in my life to meet many people, it just seems to happen. For instance I went out yesterday and met somebody in the lift and I met another person in a shop, then […]

As expected. In the absence of his most credible challenger, Jordan “Quadzilla” Watson, Aikpracha was tasked with a slightly easier objective in defeating first Marco Pique, and then Thiago Texeira to claim the WMC tournament trophy. Aikpracha stopped Pique early, quickly and violently in the first round, whereas Texeira had to go the distance to outpoint […]

Also interviews with Saiyok, Master Toddy and a clip of the ceremony. For a breakdown of the 4-man 72kg Grand Prix tournament featuring Saiyok, Jordan Watson, Ilya Grad and Vuyisille Colossa, see FSA~ The WMC Tournament. Warning: spoilers, that was breaking news piece. Featured here are the full fight videos from the event for Jordan […]

March-June 2012 is a great time to be a fan of Muay Thai, especially in Thailand! After the consecutive Saturday Lumpinee Stadiums cards Sam-A/Petchpanomrung & Saenchai/Sagetdao, we had several announcements, the three most eye-catching to me of which I will feature here, namely: *The Omnoi Stadium tournament. *The WMC 4-man 72kg title tournament *The WBC […]

From Omnoi Stadium on Saturday. We’ve already had a Muay Thai Clip of the Week (Unbreakable) which is extremely hard to top, given the prime Bovy/Eubank/Vitali-level chin that Phetchartchay displayed in it. So I didn’t try to! Here is a fight from Saturday’s Omnoi Stadium card, featuring Orono (Sor.Suriya, an upcoming Omnoi prospect not Por.Muang […]

The World MuayThai Council have put together a tournament featuring four of the best middleweights in the world. Saiyok, Jordan Watson, Ilya Grad and Vuyisile Colossa will compete in Bangkok on April 3rd, in a round robin style tournament to determine the man at the weight. It coincides with the WMC’s petition for Muay Thai […]

He’s the reigning champion & Lumpinee Fighter of the Year for a reason. Sam-A may still be young, but compared to the 16yr-old pretender facing him he is a grizzled veteran of the game. With well over three hundred documented wins, against a mere forty-three documented losses, with sixty wins in the Lumpinee Stadium, four […]

One week before the fifth (at least) Saenchai/Sagetdao scrap, Bangkok fight fans are treated to another great Saturday card at the Lumpinee headlined by the super-bantamweight champion Sam-A (formerly Sam-A Thor.Ratonakiat), who takes on Petchpanomrung (also called Phetpanomrong), the #1 ranked 122lbs fighter at the weight. Sam-A is the 2011 Lumpinee Stadium Fighter of the Year. A […]

Saenchai is the man who famously had to compete in higher weight divisions because it was unfair to let men his own size fight him. He’s a four-weight Lumpinee Stadium Champion, a WMC and WBC World champion, a man who toys with fighters many kilograms heavier than he like they were children. He’s the consensus […]
