Saying Max Holloway beats Tawanchai in Muay Thai is like saying Max would beat Mayweather in boxing. At some point its good to realise that there are different combat sports and different levels in those sports that fighters specialise in.

The risk of getting KO'd is still there in other MT promotions. If you really think about it, those One FC fight purses are life changing for the Thais. Sure fighting 3-round fights in 4oz gloves is a lot more reckless in a way and it favours using punches more, but the step up in pay is 100%...

I mean it happens quite often that farangs start in the countryside or on the islands before ending up in the big stadiums. How many farangs do you have fighting in Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, etc.? Or even on smaller orgs like Max Muay Thai ? Even the names like Skarbowsky who were European...

Shadow vs Jimmy is at 154 indeed. Even though Haggerty and Carillo have been doing MT since childhood that still doesn't compare to the skill level and number of stadium fights Thais usually have in the same time frame though. Not many farangs can hold their own vs the top Thais of their...

Mate Haggerty fought Nong-O and is fighting Superlek next, it's not like he's just getting easy fights to make him look good. At some point people need to stop hating on Haggerty and give him the respect he deserves. Shadow is fighting Jimmy Viennot next, it's a solid opponent if he wins he...

I mean him and his team are definitely grasping at straws here. He got hit clean and it definitely wasn't an elbow or much of the forearm, it was the bottom of the glove / the wrist that hit him. It definitely wasn't intentional anyway and if it had been the big part of the glove that hit him it...

I tuned in just in time for Bobo Sacko, knew he would deliver, but didn't expect him to starch Mejira like that with 1 punch. Brutal.

Second part: "This is the second part of my April 2006 dojo diary. I continue training with Reku-san and meet Shidokan shihans from all over the world as they come to a meeting in Ito dojo. Together with students from Waseda University we compose a haiku to present to the Tokorozawa dojo...

Here are the diaries of Jon Lovett when he went to train at the Shidokan Honbu (headquarters) in 2006: "In April 2006 I travelled back to Japan to stay for two weeks at the Shidokan Honbu dojo in Tokorozawa. I was not grading on this visit so had arranged to do some sight-seeing in Kyoto and...

Shidokan isn't a huge organisation, it's an off-shoot of Kyokushin but I was always a fan of their approach of taking Kyokushin / Knockdown Karate and adding to it Muay Thai and grappling. Yoshiji Soeno, the founder, is a legend, big respect to him. He grew up with Judo, then turned to...

Nice! That's an interesting welcome back fight for Harrison since recovering from injury.

Glad to See Jimmy Vienot still taking Muay Thai fights, as he's already mentioned several times that he's now switching to MMA.

Here's a great fight I'm rewatching after several years:

I'm lucky enough to get the opportunity to be there, just wondering if you guys know anything yet about who's going to be on that card? Or maybe any wild guesses? Thanks a lot

There has been a lot of great fights especially on their first few events. It depends on what kind of style of fighters you like and if you prefer technical fights or brawls. I'd recommend checking out the Glory fights of Tyrone Spong, Alex Pereira, Petchpanomrung, Nieky Holzken, etc. but...

He's ready for Halloween.

Izzy has been terrible at predicting fights lately. He also had Gaethje and Hill winning by KO at UFC 300.

Or maybe the fact he had the referee in his pocket, and turned into a wrestler every time he got rocked? Or maybe because he doesn't really have a pleasing style? Or because he thought he won? Or because even though he lost and was the one panic hugging he says Garcia was hugging too much? To...
