@@lao-grotten1101but in Muay Thai I think they are far more active in the clinch. It's an offensive exchange in Muay Thai, but in MMA it's too often used for stalling.
True. One might think that it's because 95% striking, it's this wild frenzy where punches and kicks are flying non-stop and there's blood everywhere and people are getting brutally KOd left and right. But Muay Thai is not about that. A lot of good Muay Thai fights are very measured, tactical matches that very often end up in close decisions and they require knowledge of the art to be able to appreciate.
Thai fighters don’t speak English so they’re not as relatable and you don’t know their personalities which makes it feel like there are no stakes. The striking shown is unbelievable but why would we watch a fight where most people don’t care who wins unless it’s rodtang?
I agree with you...but I also think that if you're a true fight fan it doesn't always matter if you've got a dog in the fight? I mean I love watching One but I don't know who a lot of the fighters are....but I still love it...I've always said that One is for people who like fighting and UFC is for people who like fighters

I always hear people bitch about being on the ground in MMA and how it needs to get stood up more to keep it exciting and I'm always just like Muay thai. What you're looking for is muay thai
It has a lot of clinching also. Moreso than most MMA matches. Im js but still love MT. What most MMA fans want to see is, imo, is style vs style in a real fight. Thats basically the whole UFC concept really.
@@juangringo3906the era of style va style died in the 90s though. Nowadays no one is a purist in MMA. The closest you can get is grapplers vs strikers and that's it
I'm usually the opposite. I watch collegiate wrestling and grappling events because I'd rather see more ground action (and maybe because I wrestled in high school)
In my opinion (which doesn't matter), the weight classes would be the issue. Huge fighters would break the fighting style. It obviously has uses, but the wars are about inflicting pain and brain damage to the smaller bodies. There is a reason they can do 500+ fights in a career and not die. A lot of painful impacts, but not a ton of real damage. If there is anything i have learned from watching NASCAR as a kid, it's that people want to see the wrecks the most. Smaller fighters simply don't provide that danger level to most people. People loved Mike Tyson because he looked like he'd kill his opponent, and promotors probably had their 🤞 that it might happen.....just sayin.
@@mags6946kickboxing is more for heavy weights there's a reason they don't have heavy weight classes fir Muay Thai in One Championship. The biggest weight class for Muay Thai is Welterweight.

Simple answer, it's too easy to hurt and get hurt. It feels terrible to hurt somebody undeserving. I elbowed a guy in the eye socket and he wore an eyepatch for 3 weeks. Muay Thai experts have elbows like knives.
Doesn’t this go for all combat sports? It’s easy to get hurt and hurt others. That’s what you sign up for, if you don’t want to fight don’t fight. Also Muay Thai is dangerous but Thais have longer careers than boxers, and mma fighters.

Why muay thai is not popular in North America? Because low kick is boring, it might be effective but boring, look what happened to American kickboxing, it was popular before Because of the high kicks, but when American kickboxing started allowing low kick it became not popular anymore.
Muay Thai is the bestt. I love watching the Wai Kru and the music they play in the background. Something about it feels really spiritual, Not just messing someone up. It like a reflection of their appreciation and respect / dedication towards the sport and the training process
Watched it live in an arena in Koh Phangan Thailand it was a fantastic experience. Would highly recommended attending an event to anyone visiting Thailand.
The first time I trained in muay Thai was in Bangkok across from ABAC campus. There was a huge park that had running tracks, stadium and playing fields. It had a weight room, taught gymnastics, or even badmittion (sp?) if that was your preference. But of the few that trained in muay Thai, in Bangkok, they were a very small few. It's popular over there but few want to face the day to day training that leaves one perennially bruised and always in varying degrees of exhaustion. In that park area, there would be hundreds of guys playing soccer, but the muay Thai section pretty much had the smallest population with maybe a couple dozen training in mauy Thai. It's not huge because mauy Thai is pain and it makes people realize how few want to face that much punishment. You cannot compare boxing with muay Thai either. One of my instructors, Kru Dahn said that when he had a (12 round) boxing match, he'd go out to dinner with friends after. But he said after a (5 rounds) muay Thai match, he could only go home and go to bed where'd stay for a day or two. Muay Thai is pain.

By far the most warrior of any style of fighting .
Leithwei:Why aren't we bigger?
Muay Thai is the bestt. I love watching the Wai Kru and the music they play in the background. Something about it feels really spiritual, Not just messing someone up. It like a reflection of their appreciation and respect / dedication towards the sport and the training process
Lethwei has been my fav for years Dave is a Canadian beast.
Idk Joe i watch Friday Morning One Championship Muay Thai Fights like a going to Church on Sundays now.
Muay Thai 🔛🔝
Where can I find this instrumental
Lethwei is also crazy
Imagine preparing for a MMA match and your opponent practiced muay thai and they blast your knees out with one kick.
Watched it live in an arena in Koh Phangan Thailand it was a fantastic experience. Would highly recommended attending an event to anyone visiting Thailand.
Bro I watched it live in Thailand. Sat front row. It was unreal
The first time I trained in muay Thai was in Bangkok across from ABAC campus. There was a huge park that had running tracks, stadium and playing fields. It had a weight room, taught gymnastics, or even badmittion (sp?) if that was your preference. But of the few that trained in muay Thai, in Bangkok, they were a very small few. It's popular over there but few want to face the day to day training that leaves one perennially bruised and always in varying degrees of exhaustion. In that park area, there would be hundreds of guys playing soccer, but the muay Thai section pretty much had the smallest population with maybe a couple dozen training in mauy Thai. It's not huge because mauy Thai is pain and it makes people realize how few want to face that much punishment. You cannot compare boxing with muay Thai either. One of my instructors, Kru Dahn said that when he had a (12 round) boxing match, he'd go out to dinner with friends after. But he said after a (5 rounds) muay Thai match, he could only go home and go to bed where'd stay for a day or two. Muay Thai is pain.
One championship is bringing it a global audience now
Time for Netflix to Muay Thai the F1 treatment.
Been saying this for YEARS
*Rodtang sounds intensify*
Tony Jaa introduced me to Muay Thai growing up. I wish the martial arts was more popular
not enough trash talking just pure fighting.
San shou is probably the most underrated stand up martial art in the world next to karate
I watched that kick (you all know the one) like a thousand times in a row…
Fuck yeah, real question !
