There isn’t much that mma fans can agree on. “Who’s the pound for pound best fighter in the world?” “Is an mma monopoly the best choice for the sport?” “How good was Fedor, really?” It sometimes seems that mixed martial arts fans are compelled by their drive to disagree. While these disagreements often result in […]

It’s relatively common that Muay Thai fighters cross over into boxing territory now and then. Sometimes they do better than expected, and other times they don’t. But when top 70kg fighter Saiyok Pumpanmuang made his debut in boxing against Muhammad Sapata, it was painful to watch. Like cover-the-children’s-eyes-so-they-don’t-have-nightmares painful. Like 90′s boy band” painful. Like […]

….It’s early morning in Los Angeles…seven in the morning. Up and coming fighters are lacing heavy bags with ferocious punches at Freddie Roach’s “Wild Card Boxing Club” on Vine Street. The Graffiti on the Gym and in the neighborhood is like a road map to the gym. Freddie intently watches a fighter as he prepares […]

Johny Hendricks took just  forty five seconds to knock out Martin Kampmann in UFC 154. Impressive; considering that Kampmann was once a kickboxing champion. Hendricks has sent a powerful message to the already talent rich UFC Welterweight (163-175 lb) division, which is currently ruled by  GSP (Georges St-Pierre). After the quick knockout, Hendricks himself seemed […]

His title “reign” may have been a wart on the face of combat sports (receiving a shot after two losses, beating the near-40yr old Peter Aerts for the strap, and then losing to Semmy Schilt and then even MMA light-heavyweight Gegard Mousasi in a non-tournament fight yet keeping his belt) an aberration, a slap in […]

Barry Robinson may not be a house hold name (just yet) but A Million Styles Boxing has certainly taken off and people are interested and loving the system… For those that dont know, A Million Styles Boxing IS Barry Robinson. Hearing that Barry and in turn, A Million Styles Boxing  - is headed to Thailand… […]

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 […]

This one is an old one as opposed to current affairs… but nonetheless it’s mandatory viewing, a physical work of art, a beautiful martial technique applied in a high profile Muay Thai fight and hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it is!
