As a lifelong martial artist, I just want to clear up a few things. First, the term "striking" generally refers to any type of strike, including punches, kicks, elbows, knees, or even other strikes such as headbutts, depending on the ruleset or situation. The term "striker" typically means someone who is skilled in standup striking arts such as boxing, muay thai, taekwondo, etc. Muay thai is a sport that includes punches, kicks, elbows, knees and throws. When you guys were debating how he would do in a "striking" match against Conor McGregor or Sean O'Malley, it seemed like some of you meant a boxing match while others meant kickboxing or muay thai. In a kickboxing or muay thai fight, neither O'Malley nor McGregor would stand a chance. A boxing match with either one of them would be competitive because boxing is Conor and Sean's primary striking style, and they are two of the top boxers in mma. Your average fighter in the UFC wouldn't stand a chance in a boxing or kickboxing fight against Buakaw. Similarly, Buakaw would not do well in mma. Perhaps when he was younger, if he'd taken a few years to focus on grappling, he could have done it. But if they just scheduled an mma fight 2 months from now between Buakaw and any decent mma fighter with a solid grappling base, it would be very unlikely that Buakaw would win.
As someone who has competed in muay Thai I'd like to clear up there is no throwing . There is the clinch where sometimes someone can be accidentally thrown to the grounds from trying to move them in the clinch. But they receive no points for throwing anybody to the ground .
also when he fought in K-1 vs a Japanese fighter if he didnt KO them he would "lose" a Decision even with the other dudes face looking like Hamburger meat or barely being able to stand
Buakaw is a Muay Thai legend and a beast. He would beat Connor down if it were strikes only. He's 41 now and still fighting. And Muay Thai is known as the Art and Science of 8 limbs. You can use hands, elbows, knees and legs to strike. You should check out his K1 fights from the mid 2000s. That's when I first got into the martial art of Muay Thai (2006) and have been practicing since, and I'm 41 now. Best way to get in shape!!!
Buakaw is a LEGEND !!! There are plenty of fights on YT to check from this GOAT. Ii think he runs his own school now in Thailand but he did do a sort of exhibition fight a few months ago.
when i think he's the joke star and a lazy student that tried to cheat out of his own routine running order from his teacher by swimming to make it looks like sweating 😂
Samart Payakaroon was a better pure striker (different weight class though). Not only a multiple time stadium champion in Muay Thai, but also the WBC Bantamweight champion in 1986. The channels Muay Thai Scholar and Lawrence Kenshin Striking Breakdowns rank Samart as the greatest striker ever.
I've been watching Buakaw for years. Buakaw means "White Lotus". His real name is Sombat Banchamek. They changed K-1 rules because of Buakaw, no more elbows, throws, & sweeps.
I was taught Muay Thai when I was nine years old.. I used to make money by going to the bar and fighting in the ring . After the fight, people threw the money in the ring. I came to the USA in 1973 and I'm proud to be an American . After my graduation in 1984 I almost became a PKA before the UFC.. It brought back the memory of Muay Thai. Thx. You
Don't doubt Buakaw's competition. After reaching the top in the most prestigious Muay Thai stadiums, he wanted to show the world how effective Muay Thai is. So he then entered K1, which was the highest level of professional kickboxing in the world at the time. The guy it showed getting punished for an extended amount of time is Masato, and at the time was Japan's top kickboxer and if I'm remembering right was the K1 Max defending champion. K1 literally changed the clinch rules because Buakaw dominated everyone so bad with it. It wasn't only Masato, a lot of those guys it showed him punishing were ex champions or went on to win championships. I would highly recommend watching the K1 heavyweights highlights. Badr Hari, Andy Hug, Semmy Schilt, or Gohkan Saki to name a few.
@jay71512 Lmao ffs, time to use all day to visit memory lane. Hell, and these are just the heavyweights. There's so many in the Max category we didn't even touch on. Nice to see there's still plenty of us old head K1 fans still around. Thanks for the memory jog friend.
The guys only know UFC and are like "Oh McGregor or Sean O'malley could beat Buakaw in striking". They should understand how far any UFC fighter is from those Thai champs when it is about striking without any ground allowed. Even guys, like Israel Adesanya, who have a high level in striking and were champ before in striking can't be compared to Buakaw or any famous Muay Thai champs.
Great reaction guys, but full respect where it's due. Had Buakaw not have been robbed blind, he's the only man that would have won the K1 world championship 3 times in a row. As it is, he won two in a row and most of these knockouts/knockdowns in this video were his climb to the top. Also remembering that the K1 championship is fought over one night. The fighters barely have time to recover if they can at all before going into the next fight. The knee strike rule was changed in K1 because of the damage he caused with it. He's an absolute deserved legend and champion of his game
Back in the day K-1 was the elite of all striking and Buakaw won it twice. He's spent 20 years fighting the very best of the best in the world of kickboxing and Muay Thai. Comparing him to UFC fighters at pure striking is a bit of a joke.
@@CodyCha UFC fighters don’t make millions. Their champions don’t even make millions. Unless you’re insanely famous or popular. UFC is a popularity contest and at times a joke
@@asianmanfromasia the highest payout Muay Thai fighter in history is $300k. That's a joke. Any established UFC champion easily makes $5 million a fight. More wins = more popular = more money. So why don't Muay Thai fighters come to UFC?
Buakaw is one of the best fighters the world has never heard of. He's retired now but you can train at his boxing school near Chiang Mai, Thailand. In his prime he'd turn McGregor into mayonaise.
Buakaw has not been retired yet. Last Month he just had one match in Japan and had won. For the rest of 2024, he still have 2 more matches to attend. I’m going to his training camp in Chiangmai Mai next month. He is my favorite Thai fighter.
Ok, so a few things: His named is pronounced “Boo-a-cow” and he is from Thailand. He’s fighting Muay Thai in a lot of these highlights but some are K1/K1 rules kickboxing. His last name listed on this highlight is his real last name but when fighting he took the last name of his gym as most thai fighters do. For a long time his last name was Por Pramuk (from the Por pramuk gym). Anyway, he wouldn’t do good in MMA for one, because he’s old now at 41 years old. But he also dedicated his life to kickboxing and while he is an expert in trips and foot sweeps, is way behind in wresting and jiu jitsu. Connor, Sean O’Malley and everyone else in the ufc wouod be handled in a kickboxing match against him. Just like he’d be handled in the ufc. They are differnt sports.
Thai fighters are built differently. They train harder, fight more than other styles, they're basically kickboxing + elbows & knees, clinching and sweeps.
Nice to see a reaction on Muay Thai boxing, a real martial art. Buakaw is a GOAT in this sport in his weight class. You also might check out Rodtang one of the other GOAT'S or Ramon Dekkers who was the first foreigner to become a champion in Thailand.
Buakaw god of Muaythai. Is the video documentary to react to if you want a lot of info on him because it gives insight on how good some of the fighters he was toying with are.
It is almost impossible to go undefeated for even 50 fights in Muay Thai because all 8 limbs can knock you out or at least do serious damage. I think kickboxing is similarly difficult to go undefeated especially when they allowed sweeps, clinches and elbows. The notoriously easy to buy off/intimidate judges also ripped off Buakaw in a handful of fights he won but gave the decision or a draw to his opponent. The Asian Triad gangs are notorious for getting the judges to give them the decisions that will make them the most money in the betting game. Buakaw was knocked out cold in one fight but that is pretty good to only have one with all of the fights he's had and the many weapons these fighters can hit you with. You are right you'd not want to engage him in a street fight especially if he was wearing steel toed shoes. He'd break several ribs with one kick and could kill anyone with a single kick to your dome. Buakaw was thinking of joining the UFC and was training on the ground game but if I remember correctly he was already in his mid to late 30's so probably realised his style of fighting would leave him open to take downs and its hard to change your style of fighting at that age and get your ground game up to the highest standards. I was a pretty good boxer in my younger days with natural blinding speed that I worked on almost every day with great determination to get even faster. I didn't have Mike Tyson one punch knockout power but I often could drop an opponent with a 3 punch combination. But even tho I thought I was a very tough and smart fighter, I thank God that I never had to face a Muay Thai legend like Buakaw in a street fight. Way too many weapons to defend against. hehe 😵
I met my wife in Thailand in 2008, while training in Muay Thai. The Training was brutal. Each day started with 2 sessions lasting 2 hours which was nothing for Thais, but for Farong like me, it was brutal. First session was at 4:00am to 6:00am. The second one was at 10:00am to noon. I saw Bukaw (pronounced Boo-Cow) in Lumpini Stadium. Bukaw was the most amazing Fighter I had ever seen. That includes UFS Fighters. Bukaw was a really nice guy out of the Ring. In fact, as savage as Thai Fighters were in the Ring, most were just as nice out of the Ring.. We go back about every other year. I LOVE the culture, but still don't understand it completely. They are ALWAYS engaging and friendly. I was 49yrs old when I trained there, and the Thais made it a lifelong memorable experience I will never forget. The UFC Fighters go to Thailand to learn from the Thais to learn Muay Thaii Boxing. The Dance the Thais perform before the Fight is call a Waikru (misspelled). It's a tribute to their Trainer and Culture.
Hey family! Great reaction as always. It's a shame his actually best video is 43 min long but it's epic. Buakaw boom! Would be a dream to get that reaction from a youtuber❤
Buakaw has a TH-cam and Facebook channel. I watch him often. His daily life is very energetic. Sometimes he is invited to appear on entertainment shows. He likes other celebrities to come punch his stomach and create content, challenging Thai TH-camrs to fight Muay Thai with him😂😂😂👍👍
@@user-pd9ju5dk5s Saenchai is not the GOAT? lol... 400+ fights. 5-time Lumpinee champion (in different weights). Champion of Rajadamnern. Not the GOAT... Find out more please)
For almost 20 years, the European Dutch, as well as their kickboxing style, dominated the striking sports. Then Buakaw came along. He brought back the glory to Asia.
Buakaw is the GOAT!!!! When it comes to striking, I have seen no equal and I did this for a living few a few years. Also one of the most humble champions and truly loved by the fans of Muay Thai. In the O.G. streetfighter Sagat was 2nd only to Gen. Bison & the world Muay Thai champion...... you just witnessed the real thing!
Plenty said comparing fighting styles, would like to share a few words about mentality of a muai thai warrior. I like Connor, even admire him in many ways, but he's a soft, little boy even compared to a 12yo thai practitioner, both mentally and physically. Thai fighters rigorously train all day, every day creating an unbreakable body of steel to match their indomitable will. And at the pinnacle of it reigns supreme Buakaw Banchamek, a literal thai god.
That’s awesome the video you guys picked to watch was by Muay Thai Scholar if your interested in more videos like this he has so much more to review for sure some of the best Muay Thai videos
In a straight striking bout, Buakaw in his prime would beat Conor and Sean (he is much bigger than Sean BTW). Buakaw is as elite as it gets in striking
Muay Thai is Thai culture. Muay Thai, a world heritage site, is another good form of self-defense. It is a sport that people around the world know about.
Baukaw is legendary in the light weight. At the same time you have Badr Hari in the heavyweight in the K1 times. Look op Badr Hari highlights. And be amazed.
Muay Thai fighters from Thailand start fighting professionally as kids which partly explains the ridiculous number of fights. But his record does not stand alone. The likes of Saenchai, Rodtang, Superlek, Tawanchai and Nong-O all have several hundred fights and Rodtang in particular is wild as he has over 300 fights at just 26
Buakaw is the very definition of aggressive Muay Thai fighter with good IQ and body of steel, you might interest in another two masters of the same era as Buakaw. Saenchai who is known for bring technical master, a trickster that play with opponent. Lerdsila the one who will keep dodging every punch and kick throw at him.
Sweetheart! If you don’t know buakaw from Thailand… then stay quiet and learn. He’s the best of our kind. I am thai and I am proud to say he’s undefeated
You guys would love Rodtang. Smaller weight class, but the guy is a straight up savage. He's insane. Also Muay Thai is the part of Martial Arts that the UFC isn't capitalizing on. Imagine MMA with not much grappling. I like grappling, but PURE striking at this level? Brutal af.
lot of Thai fighters start competing at age 7-8 and end up fighting multiple times a night as they get older, that's why some of them have 200-300 fights by their mid twenties

This man is overpower😊
Buakaw Banchamek is OLD, he's 41 now
243 Wins (74 (T)KO's), 24 Losses, 14 Draws, 2 No Contest
What to do with age ? Can you beat him though?
I know him very well. I’m a student and a fan of his work
I love the banter. lol.
You should watch a selection of crazy knockouts in Muay and kickboxing
Amazing muay thai ❤
How many oh my god words are spoken in this clip?
Good one, fellas.
Thanks!
You NEED to see Rodtang vs Superlek ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
บัวขาว เป็นนักมวยคนไทยที่น่ารัก ทะเล้นหน้าเป็น ฉันรักบัวขาว 🥰🥰🤟🤟💕💕🇹🇭🇹🇭
Look up Ramon Dekkers. They called him the Mike Tyson of Muay Thai
I don’t Even watch these videos just be watching it through y’all reacting to it 😂 same with the anime vids
This guy was so good they had changed rule in k1 so other fighter had a chance, and then he still won the tournament anyway
Y’all should react to Saenchai as well dude mastered the matrix
Joseph Vincent does an awesome mini doc on Buakaw you guys should check out
I want you guys to come practice boxing in Thailand.
This was awesome. I’ve only ever seen Muay Thai from Tony Jaa films
Yall need to check out Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Saenchai!!!!
I really like watching Rodtang
He looks like Sagat from Street Fighter because they both do Muay Thai... also check out 'Rodtang' ❤❤❤ he a beast also
Buakaw is one of the biggest monsters ever In Muay Thai history. And he did it at the HIGHEST level
Muay Thai fighters from Thailand start fighting professionally as kids which partly explains the ridiculous number of fights. But his record does not stand alone. The likes of Saenchai, Rodtang, Superlek, Tawanchai and Nong-O all have several hundred fights and Rodtang in particular is wild as he has over 300 fights at just 26
Buakaw is the very definition of aggressive Muay Thai fighter with good IQ and body of steel,
you might interest in another two masters of the same era as Buakaw.
Saenchai who is known for bring technical master, a trickster that play with opponent.
Lerdsila the one who will keep dodging every punch and kick throw at him.
ขอบคุณครับ❤❤❤
Wowwww so strong 💪🏼
Sweetheart! If you don’t know buakaw from Thailand… then stay quiet and learn. He’s the best of our kind. I am thai and I am proud to say he’s undefeated
Rotang has some good highlights
🙏Love Muay Thai!!!❤🔥
🔥Thank you for sharing, enjoyed your awesome video!👍
Dude is a beast😊
You guys would love Rodtang. Smaller weight class, but the guy is a straight up savage. He's insane.
Also Muay Thai is the part of Martial Arts that the UFC isn't capitalizing on. Imagine MMA with not much grappling. I like grappling, but PURE striking at this level? Brutal af.
I can't wait to see Buakaw vs. Pacquiao this upcoming April.
Btw, when Buakaw took his first K1 championship title win, all his fights were on the same night.
On. The. Same. Night. 😂
Sean got the belt now lol
Y'all would love to see "badr (the golden boy/bad boy) hari " 🔥
lot of Thai fighters start competing at age 7-8 and end up fighting multiple times a night as they get older, that's why some of them have 200-300 fights by their mid twenties
React to the Rodtang vs Superlek fight. Most intense fight between literally the top 2 current muay thai fighers.
A List of fighters to check out…
Dan Severn (my instructor 2005-2008)
Matt Hughes
Chuck Liddell
Anderson Silva
The Garcie family
Wow.... That's awesome! Dan is a living legend.
The Muay Thai God👊🔥
Muay Thai fighters are so hard, they fight so regularly too, crazy.
Check out "The Diamond" Ramon Dekkers. He was also a fighter
Nobody can take a strike like a Muay Thai fighter.
