Buakaw and Saenchai only have the distinction of being the most famous 'thai' muay thai fighters ever.I see what you're doing there, but I still gotta say Buakaw. Those MMA guys have that "Muay Thai background" stigma but at the end of the day they are still looked at as "MMA".
But you are attributing "Muay Thai Fighter" to a bunch of Chute Boxe guys and I'm arguing that they are looked at as MMA guys with MT styles. I still stand by Buakaw period, not just for Thais...Buakaw and Saenchai only have the distinction of being the most famous 'thai' muay thai fighters ever.
<Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>Buakaw at the moment until Yodwicha goes into mma

MMA isn't very popular outside of the Anglosphere and Brazil.
MMA is popular, but just the notion of Yodwicha fighting in MMA eclipsing Buakaw in popularity is laughable. Only chance is if he made it to the UFC (which he wont). Yodwhicha is a great fighter with poor marketability.
Wouldn't the latter naturally imply the former, in the mind of the average combat sports consumer?But you are attributing "Muay Thai Fighter" to a bunch of Chute Boxe guys and I'm arguing that they are looked at as MMA guys with MT styles.
Kickboxing isn't popular anywhere. Buakaw enjoys some degree of celebrity in his own country and no where else.MMA isn't very popular outside of the Anglosphere and Brazil.
