Found out from the Rizin buildup that Tenshin is planning on retiring to focus on boxing?
His 'exhibition' with Gomi looked exactly like whenever I see kickboxing people spar boxing only rules.

The spacing, the missing kicks in combos, the lack of punctuating with hard punches -- I'm really surprised he wants to do this. Why spend so much time rebuilding his skillset?

Verheoven has a lingering eye injury, but is oked to do some non-Glory fight in this weird celebrity fight event

He said maybe he'll fight another Glory fighter, but if he's really got an eye injury, why risk it against even some random celebrity?

Apparently Buakaw participated in a BKFC Thailand event.

Yokkao's been doing a US seminar tour and uploading sparring sessions attendees have been doing with Superlek and Saenchai. A variety of intensity levels

Are the amateur matches the ones with knee and shin guards?

K, and I guess Open 2M2R and Heavy 2M2R just mean they're 2 x 2min rounds, but not amateur?

Ok, here's a gym culture/organization question -- does Tiger Muay Thai train any Thai fighters, and do those use Tiger for their fighter names?

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

Obviously the gym has some extremely accomplished affiliates, but mostly foreigners, so does it cater to foreigners (and MMA) to a degree that they're not really putting out any Thaiboxing fighters?

quote:

Suphisara Konlak (Thai: สุภิสรา คนหลัก)

best known professionally as Loma Lookboonmee (Thai: โลมา ลูกบุญมี),

In boxing she has fought under the names
Kanda Por Muangpetch (Thai: กานดา พ.เมืองเพชร) and
Kanda Kokietgym (Thai: กานดา ก่อเกียรติยิม)
I can't find any details on the origins of Lookboonmee -- if that's a sponsor or external name in some way.
But she hasn't used Tiger or Bangtao in any way since being at those gyms.

Is it one of those inner/outer gyms where the real fighters have access to the real coaching, and then the outer gym is just whatever training for people excited about seeing Volk walking around?

Buakaw and Saenchai are still hyping up their bareknuckle match, which last I heard was planned for November.

Also, missed when Rodtang put up a post of him, Saenchai, and Tawanchai in dresses

Pretty solid culture war in the comments.

It’s… actually happening? Ruleset kinda gimmicky given who’s involved



quote:

Kicks, punches, knees, and elbows are allowed, but trips and sweeps are not. Defensive clinch is a no-go, but fighters can clinch for a maximum of three seconds if they are attacking. As with all other BKFC bouts, the fight will consist of five two-minute rounds, and there is no three-knockdown rule
