Most of it is in the clinch. They use unusual hand positions and holds in the clinch from their BJJ background. They also use wrestling type tactics in regards to positioning, body control, and lifts, sweeps, slams, also tripping into takedowns, and pressure up against the cage/ropes tactics. You can sweep in muay thai, but you cannot slam, lift and slam, etc. wrestling type tactics.
I fought a guy with a wrestling background, he caught every body kick I threw, but rather than catch and sweep, he would catch and slam like in wrestling, but he would go down with me, on purpose, but because he went down with me, rather than just slamming me, he was able to get away with it. You cant catch, run and slam someone in MT, like a wrestling style takedown, but you can catch run and sweep. Dude kept slamming me. Ref didnt call it, he got away with it, it was a grey area.
you can see here how he has ahold of my right leg with his left hand for example, and then going for a sweep/slam
here he did some kind of weird twisting slam, and I ended up on top of him
more grabbing at my knee and going for a slam
wrestling type takedown
catching the kick, lots of fwd pressure to a wrestling slam
The muay thai community is so small, me and him have become friends after the fight, he is personal friends with my teammate prior to us fighting, he fought my other friend and threw him out of the ring, lol. Its one of his tactics due to his wrestling background.
heres all of us together at the saenchai seminar, his front left, im front right, girl in the glasses is my wife.
