Yokkao is smart and puts their stuff on YouTube but they haven't done a thing for a while last I saw.

Their next big event is in October

A guy with a bad nickname tattooed on his chest is kickboxing on fightpass right now while wearing an american flag skirt.

Glory.

e. he has praying hands in front of an american flag tattooed on his back too. And he just lost via royal rumble rules but the ref is letting it continue.

So I guess since no one knows when events are, and I've been enjoying watching Krush just to find something easily accessible, I'll post this as I was dicking around after practice.


Krush.92 - August 18, 2018
https://www.k-1.co.jp/schedule/16478/

Super Featherweight - Saito Yuto vs Masaru Yamaguchi
Featherweight - Takashi Niimi vs TETSU
-57 KG - Masashi Kurasaki vs KAZUNORI
Super Bantamweight - Koumra Shuhei vs Yamawaki Sakigaketo
Lightweight - Yasuto vs Kawasaki Shinichiro
Super Featherweight - Oiwa Ryuya vs Masahiro Yamamoto
Ren HIRAMOTO vs Kondo IsaoNaru
Super Lightweight - Tetsuya Yamato vs Tsui Jenhoi
-67 KG Super Fight - Masaaki Noiri vs Jan Haodon
Women's Flyweight Title - Kana vs Liu Shibei

I did this based off their English version of the Krush website so take that into consideration.

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
So years ago now, on one of John Wayne Parr's interviews on the Rogan podcast, he mentioned a bloodsport-esque tournament that happens once a year where Burmese fighters and Thai fighters go head to head in a tournament where hands are wrapped with rope instead of gloves and the only way to win is by knockout. I filed that away in my head and thought it sounded like an exaggeration or something; a spectacle too insane to be true. Well recently I found out about Burma's version of MT and I now do not doubt that story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethwei

Important parts below

quote:

Lethwei is considered to be one of the most aggressive and brutal martial arts in the world, because the fighters fight bareknuckle with only the use of tape and gauze on their hands.[2] The use of fists, elbows, knees, and feet, but more surprisingly, the head makes it a very unusual martial art. Although disallowed in many combat sports, in Lethwei, the use of headbutt is encouraged. This is the reason it also known as "The Art of 9 limbs".[3][4]

In ancient times, matches were held for entertainment and were popular with every strata of society. Participation was opened to any male, whether king or commoner. At that time, matches took place in sandpits instead of rings.[7] Boxers fought without protective equipment, only wrapping their hands in hemp or gauze. There were no draws and no point system—the fight went on until one of the participants was knocked out or could no longer continue.

Well naturally I had to see some of this. There is a very very new org out of Burma trying to bring Lethwei to a wider audience the rules are largely the same except there are now decisions. The org's website doesnt work but their FB page is active and has english info up. It seems they are trying to court Cambodian fighters and fans as well which is an interesting wrinkle

https://www.facebook.com/worldlethwei/
A little highlight clip from the last card- https://www.facebook.com/worldlethwei/videos/2041030902843655/

They have KSW calibre card names (Knockout Wars, Heartless Tigers) and they're running an event soon that I will try to watch and document for this thread.

quote:

Roeung Sophorn vs Yan Naing Tun at WLC: HEARTLESS TIGERS confirmed! After a 18-month hiatus from WLC - World Lethwei Championship, Yan Naing Tun returns a renewed man having won 10 of his last 16 bouts in his time away.

He will be facing the best fighter in Cambodia today, as Roeung Sophorn makes his World Lethwei Championship debut in a fight that will be watched by millions in his home country.

This will be a fight not to be missed! WLC: HEARTLESS TIGERS, 29 September 2018, Thuwunna Indoor Stadium, Yangon, Myanmar.

e- ill try to figure out how to watch this in the US

I'm stoked. I've only seen grainy vhs footage of Lethwei fights I scummed off of some MMA torrent tracker.

This one is fun. Portuguese long distance runner vs Sturdy Thai bloke. The blood on the gauze at the end is pretty nasty, and at one point the referee calls for a medical check for a cut and the only one around is a very interested photographer.

The ruleset is brutal, but the skill level from that highlight doesn't seem to be very high. The damage is a detractor for top flight talent, I'm sure.

Yeah no one’s gonna pick this is they have a legitimate chance somewhere else, but it’s probably worth keeping an eye on to see coaches with a chip on their shoulder being brutalised by 17 year olds with nice elbows.

Well Burma has been a regional pariah for ages now. They have a lot of people and this is their martial art. I assume there is a decent amount of local talent as I doubt lethwei fighters have really been given a green light to travel or train much elsewhere. I have no idea how the Cambodian striking scene is structured but if they tap into that as well I think they could have a decent amount of talented fighters on their roster. Throwing money at middling Thais could always work too.

So I contacted WLC and they actually got back to me within hours. Pretty surprising. Anyways they said they don't have live air in the US, and that the card will run on Fight Network 3 weeks afterwards. However looking at their page it looks like they are on a lot of platforms so finding a stream shouldn't be too hard. They're on the Southeast Asian answer to Netflix (Iflix) apparently so maybe I'll sign up for that with a VPN. They also have Canal + and Fox sports listed as carriers, but they don't say in what regions. It will probably be on basic cable in Cambodia too judging by the "millions of Cambodian fans line"

Apparently there was a card from another lethwei org on the 19th and the WLC openweight belt holder retained, but this also happened.

.....The fight ended in a draw because the congolese guy got up and they were officiating it traditional style.

It’s bloody but the hits are probably a lot less damaging. The bigger turnoff is surely that Burma is poor as gently caress and a shithole compared to Bangkok

I'm surprised more predatory network tv content providers haven't started strip mining this kinda stuff. I'd totally watch burmese dudes headbutt each other at 11pm on a Saturday night. Maybe even throw in some wacky sound effects and goofy voice overs.

Yes, the pay cut is probably not worth it, but I don't think a decently wrapped fist is any less damaging (in the rock your brain sense) than big gloves. Smaller surface area could mean better chance of cracking an orbital or jaw. Though it is somewhat gated by trying not to punch so hard as to break your hand during the fight.

That and the knees, elbows, and kicks are all the same as normal kickboxing.
