- Muay Thai/kickboxing highlights of the legendary Changpuek Kiatsongrit (ช้างเผือก เกียรติทรงฤทธิ์).
Changpuek is an international Muay Thai superstar and was one of the first Thai fighters to fight abroad against combatants of different styles in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of Muay Thai to the world.
Changpuek's punching/low kick style was extremely watchable. His low kick knockout of American kickboxer Rick Roufus is one of the most memorable muaythai vs kickboxing fights in history, and transformed the thoughts and beliefs of many martial artists and combat sports athletes around the world.

Peace.
You have the most underated combat channel in all of TH-cam. Much love from Tennessee. Please keep the great work and vibes coming!
I need the last song. Help
but Gibson destroyed him
Dude got up from a broken jaw and then commenced to turning his legs into minced meat. And he barely bothered to throw a punch just to make the point. Absolute legend.
A true legend... The one who gave muay Thai worldwide fame!
it's always so funny when tai fighter realize that
"Oh. you legs are so squishy
let me just show you something real fast"
Lol
Its painfull to watch
That left from roufus broke his jaw. And he got back up and continued. That's incredible.
The simple philosophy of thai fighters... it's acceptable to be beaten when you've given your best. But it is unforgivable to lower your hands and give up. They are all incredible people.
You need to have big heart.
@Gouki XIII I lost my arms and legs in a fight and I still won by biting my opponent to death. It's all about having the right mentality -_-
@@adversecatalyst2190 i would love to se you fight buakaw with a broken jaw and show the real powerer of a keyboard warrior or you faught 4 at once then fight senchai at the same time just stay relaxed and you would win due to boring them to death
It was a great combo from Roufus,, only mistake,, he hit the ON botton 😊
Beast! No flashy moves, just true brute power with bad intentions.
fuck
The legend who showed to the world the might of muay thai and inspired other legends like Rick to adpat some useful stuffs from muai thai.
Changpuek ..The real elephant power Respect For The Legend ..Namo Amitabha with love from Malaysia
I'm pretty sure that his jaw was broken in the first round against Rufus, but he ended up winning the fight via TKO from those vicious leg kicks. Winning a fight with a broken jaw, that's something very few will ever accomplish in their entire careers, even if they are good enough to be world champions.
Yea it got broke. They have the breakdown of that fight and how him and rufus changed the way people see muay thai/kickboxing
@P T A boxer would have his spaghetti legs broken with a single low kick from a thai fighter. Don't bring boxing into real striking videos...
@@22andresmiguel many muay thai fighters have gone into boxing and become world champions while every boxer that has gone to kickboxing or muay thai gets fucked up.. just because you enjoy boxing doesn't mean its any where near as effective as muay thai or kickboxing
People love to talk about how Buakaw made Muay Thai the global phenomenon it is today and that his achievements would never be toppled ... and they are almost right .
But Changpuek Kiatsongrit nicknamed "the white elephant" ( not crazy elephant as most people thought , "Chang" in Thai mean Elephant and "Puek" mean white or ivory , the white elephant in Thai culture is THE symbol of both Thailand and the Monarch particularly the war monarch , anyone with that nickname shall posses the attributes of this mythical creature strength/patriotism/courage ) did it before Buakaw in fact i believe that HE was the greatest source of popularity and the spread of modern Muay Thai , he was the one that not only remind fighters from other disciplines that you can't beat the Thai under their rules , but above all that the Thai could beat them under their own rules ... with weight disadvantage and that nak Muay are simply the most adaptable striker in the World .
Changpuek career against the Thai wasn't legendary at all ( Krongsak beat him ) while it is true that he was a Lumpinni champion but of the heaviest weigh class , it's like saying Sittichai is a legendary champion even though his division is the most talent lacking of the bunch .
Changpuek ( like most Thai back then ) was giving up weight in order to fight his western counterparts , it could be said that he was the Buakaw of back then in a sense that he wasn't a great champion in the Thai circuit but he represented his country in an extraordinary fashion , he competed and defeated some of the greatest non-Thai stand up fighter in history while fighting in their own terms and his own and simply proved that he was the superior fighter of a superior fighting method that needed to be restraint in order to be defeated.
He was a Muay Matt ( puncher , ko artist ) , people believe that he was a Muay Tea ( kicker ) simply because he destroyed foreigners using his kicks but they fail to see that the guy hold the record for the most knockout at 174 ko victories beating Sagat Petchyindee's 151 ko wins , a kicker no matter how devastating he is can't accumulate such a high ko rate , he was simply a pressure fighter with great composure , massive kicking power , dynamite in his hands and a body of steel .
The only downside was his terrible boxing defense and bad mobility ( he can almost be described as being flat footed at time ... kind of like an Elephant , lol ) and also that the guy literally fought everyone ( even an judo expert who would then compete in the UFC in an hybrid fight ) anytime ( fought even when he was WAY past his prime ) and under any rules set and weight class, at the end of his career he was simply a punching bag .
Muay Thai Scholar
Please make one of your fantasy matchup ( like the Samart vs Saenchai ) but with Buakaw against Changpuek .
I never knew he had so many KOs.

White Elephant is the symbol for the Buddha it is Connected to Hindu and particularly significant to Buddhist’s. It would imply he has some supernatural power to overcome evil, it means he is like a literal savior. Given the time he fought he would’ve been seen as a protector of the Thai tradition. A white elephant is a blatant Buddhist symbol.
Ha ha. Yes, a muay mat; and "they" - the uneducated - said "Thais can't punch."
Roufus broke Changpuek's jaw.
Changpuek broke Roufus's legs
Frank Morris I watched Lawrence Kenshin's video too
@@Meatwad787Me too! ahahah
I search the match after reading the comments, those leg kicks 🇵🇭
What fight? I only see a lumberjack cutting a tree down 😂😂😂
Correction, Changpuek broke Roufus pride
This is a man who fought through rounds with a broken jaw and WON 🏆 just beast that is rare in this generation
What a legend in my eyes, I trained with him and my coach at Sitpholek in Pattaya and when he used to warm up kicking the biggest bag in the gym the whole bag rail; which had about seven other bags on; used to shake !!! 😂
He was one of the first Thai trainers that told me I was going to be a champion ! Love him to bits and it fills me with pride to see him in his prime doing what the sport instilled in him 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Mike S what is your name, champ?
You went to Pattaya to practice muay thai huh. ;)
@@odiousbliss5715 clearly the famous Mike S.
@@benjackson1506 🤣👍🏻
Haha good one mate. You just went a bit far with it though lmao.
When I think of classic Muay Thai I see His silhouette. The way his stance is.
*"Kick heard around the world"*
-Leg
He is hilariously good. He was in incredible physical condition, but also with amazing footwork, distance control, vision, reaction time, concentration, speed, *takes breath* technique, power, bravery, intelligence, and confidence...
He's great in so many areas that listing the areas he's great in starts to get really boring only part way through the list XD
The commentator is absolutely one-eyed, continuously talking about Roufus. Roufus was completely outclassed and destroyed!
Roufus broke Kiatsongrit's jaw and knocked him down twice in the first round. Pretty hard to say that he was completely out-classed when he caused so much damage. He lost, but this was actually pretty close if you consider this.
@@grezgorztube Rick roufus was a cheater, he wrapped his legs with bandages because he didn't know how to block a low kick. Changpeuk himself said that he felt pain every time he kicked Rick in the leg, and Rick still ran like a bitch. Not to mention, this was without knee strikes, clinging, or elbows allowed, which limited Kiatsongrit entire arsenal to the core, and he still managed to beat Rick at his own game. Changpeuk was the clear winner.
@@yo-gh9yf rufus was dead stop comment
Those side stances was making it easy for him to kick at the back of the legs. "Deflate the tires" as they would call it in Thai.
Exactly 👌
Very true... but that square Thai stance makes them susceptible to side kicks and punches. It's why more Thai fighters in the modern era use chambered side kicks & are better punchers.
Or chop the wood in boxing
@huto smamlang cool
@@smashleyscott8272 its a matter of knowing the pros and cons of bladed vs squared stance and also knowing your opponent as far as which stance/strategy he will use
The best Channel of Muay Thai 🙏✌👏
Pedro Claudino Lawrence Kenshin
This guy was the embodiment of the Thai fighting spirit.
Dunnk how Rufus took all these leg kicks, it hurts me even seeing them
Hey, Buddy, would you please kick me in the nuts instead? This is really starting to hurt!
In that fight, Changpuek jaw was broken by Rufus punch, and he still fight and somehow, broke Rufus leg instead.. gg
What a madman LMFAO
@@emooki886 his leg was broken?
🏀
@@bossboy191919 yep, badly;-;
Legend forever for showing Thai power to the world🇹🇭
I love how there’s so many Mauj Thai legends! 💪❤️🦵
Changpuek Kiatsongrit is the Royce Gracie of the kickboxing/striking world destroying the American kickboxing champion Rick Roufus with leg kicks and inspiring Rick Roufus to travel to Thailand and learn the art of Muay Thai. he is a true legend.
The first fight I saw with Changpuek was a war with Peter Smit. It was one of the best short fights ever! The pace was incredible, and at the end of round 1 Changpuek took 9 consecutive elbows to the head. Smit won by KO in round 2, but Changpuek's toughness was impressive.
This video is long overdue for sure!
this one? th-cam.com/video/bRoCXBdaV8U/w-d-xo.html
The time he put his mouthpiece back.. What a legend
Reminded me of Tyson
incredibly strong man, who changed the history
Huge respect for Kiatsongrit. Tough and grounded like an elephant.
trained with him at sitpholek gym in pattaya around 2005/6- he was scary. He became a drunk but still an amazing fighter.
Love watching mouthy Roufus get fed humble pie.
Oh my god finally!!! Thank you I've been waiting long for this😊
Haha This! they insult cynical Muay thai Should give Muay Thai Fighter Original Kick they Let Die
My favorite fighter all time of any discipline. He was a beast.
The best of the elephant beast !
Love his style. Everything is thrown with intention
Cheungphet is a beast, he can destroy larger opponents. His left kick is more than a baseball bat!!!
Changpuek is the man! 💪👊
ขอขอบคุณนักมวยไทยทุกท่านที่สร้างชื่อเสียงให้ประเทศไทย ด้วยความเคารพอย่างยิ่ง
Absolute savage , fought kaman 5 times I think and won 3 of them, Ernesto hoost also...probably giving away 15+ kgs ...the war with Peter Smit was crazy....he was a trainer at sipholek gym in Pattaya ....Legend .
Matt Murdoch
He fought Rob Kaman 4 times .
First time in Paris under Muay Thai rules Changpuek won by decision ( he schooled Rob Kaman ) .
Second time in Amsterdam in Muay Thai rules Rob Kaman won by KO ( Changpuek catch a cold before the fight ) .
Third fight in Bangkok in Muay Thai rules Changpuek won by decision ( he outclassed Rob Kaman ) .
Fourth fight in Tokyo in K-1 rules 3 rounds Changpuek won by decision ( he dominated Kaman all 3 rounds and scored a knockdown too ) .
All of those fight Changpuek was WAYYYY smaller than Rob Kaman and shorter too .
He still won 3 out of 4 and the only won he lost was due to a cold he catched prior to the fight .
This guy is true worrier. He just stand in front of opponents whatever they strike take it first then counter. What a tough mentality.
ท่านคืออีกคนผู้บุกเบิกมวยไทย ในยุคที่ชาวต่างชาติยังไม่ศรัทธาในมวยไทย ขอคาราวะ ช้างเผือก เกียรติทรงฤทธิ์ 💪💪👊👊
Ive been training this for a year in my life and this is amazing sport!! very fun to attend to
Another Legend
A legend, true legend.
6:32, very nice. To think, what if this guy would have been allowed to use all his muay thai techniques...
JimmyPtheman, if he was allowed, he would have literally killed him.The only reason western fighters survive in the ring is because Thai fighters are not allowed to use all their skills in the ring.
He’s so graceful AND deadly! What a joy to watch❤
Changpuek left a good impression on Muay Thai lovers, the current Muay Thai fighters don't have the same affection as him.
Watch buakaw he's good
Wow!! He's Amazing 👏 I'm A World Champion in Blackbelt Tournament Fighting, But This Guy Totally takes Me to School just watching his Fights! The stuff He does and How He does it, Are Great for using in self defense on the streets! It'll save You're Life. If I had a chance to grow up all over again I would have started Muay Thai, and Kicking my shins into banana trees at 4 years of age too! Its the Real Deal👌
Those low kicks are very brutal.
Inspiração 🥊 🇹🇭 👏🏼💪🏼
ดูแล้วสะใจ
I did Muay Thai over here in Minnesota USA but I would love to visit Thailand simple bc of Muay Thai. It’s my favorite out of boxing and BJJ.its brutal but at the same time an art. I love Muay Thai great video and content brother keep it going!! 👍🏽🦵🏽💪🏽
Great video with the true muaythai legend!
kickboxing.exe has stopped working
fantastic
Much respect
Unbelievable fighter goes abroad and shows the effectiveness of mauy thai yet some people think kickboxing is better
Those people that think kickboxing is better support where it comes from (America) but don't know how to fight nor understand it (muay thai)
@@countmontecristo7066 kickboxing was perfected in the netherlands, not america.
just look at the old k-1 roster
@Kirk Landau Ofcourse. Just like a Muay Thai fighter will lose vs a MMA fighter in a cage. Its a different sport with different rules. There is more allowed in a Muay Thai fight so Kickboxers will be at a huge disadvantage.
@@SuacoRV It is not just about what is allowed and what not. Thai fighters have an enormous advantage over any other professional in the world because they start fighting at age 9, or even earlier, and by the time they reach their prime their bodies are hard as steal and their fluency is unmatched. Don't assume that MMA fighters would dominate inside a cage: I can see that happening only because of grappling on the floor, and even in that case, MMA fighters would run a big risk to dart forward - exposing their faces to devastating knees and kicks - and try and get the Thais on the ground.
He was always in Beast Mode
best channel , thank !
That man is a beast and a legend
I still can’t imagine getting my jaw broken, but continuing to throw hands with the professional striker, who just broke my damn jaw. Dedication like this will never be known to me.
Cassius Clay vs Frazier
@@frankhughes9580 Ali*
The first legend of Muay Thai
Rick Roufus did well to last that long, with that number of kicks. At that point in time, USA was oblivious to MT and the devistating low kick, as it's 'kickboxing' was Karate mixed with Boxing.
He got up and the rest was history
Great Video Thanks!
great.
"Just come and hit me" thats the spirit!
“He’s never been hit the way Roufus can hit him “
*Roufus Falls*
Best of muay thai.
I love the refs: "He's hurt, but not by punches." Yeah, but it's hard to throw punches when you have no legs.
It’s super satisfying to see him wreck the flashy TKD guys !
Them Power Kicks!!!
Legend
Dope Dope Dope...thx
Nice.
Kiatsongrit.. The best Muay Thai powerfull kicks..
Really cool video and the music was good as well.
Thank y ou
No matter how good fighter you are when you can no longer stand or walk it's useless. So this muay thai technique is very effective beating the legs until you cannot stand anymore lol savage!
yeah broken jaw, broken arm, discolated hand u still has a change to continue the fight but when ur leg is broke, welp its time to go home:v
A kick to the peroneal nerve on the outside of the leg can easily put one down for the xount
good job ,ty
I love muay thaï 👍👊👊
Kiatsongrit was a beast.
Thanks for putting the music in the descr good instrumental track thanks
such a beast
ต่อยกับต่างชาติ ช้างเผือกเหมาะสมที่สุด สะใจมากไม่ผิดหวัง
He stood strong again Ernesto Hoost, despite getting knocked 2 times
I always say Muay Thai is the best
I think after that fight he was not able to walk for weeks 😂

Realmente asombroso
Una maravilla.

Will always be my favorite thai fighter
buakaw?
@@marcahr1 nah im not a big buakaw fan, kiatsongrit is who i was talking about i like buakaw but he is on the bad end of a rivalry im a much bigger fan of masato the japanese fighter who was his rival in k1
I C Changpuek i give 👍
if your a true Fan of Muay Thai fighters and want to know history of Thai fighters traveling internationally then you must watched and learn about Kitsongrit he is hands down the MOST Successful Thai fighter in history its not Sagat, Samart, Nokweed, Deiselnoi or even Buakaw or Saenchai its Changpuek Kitsongrit NO other Thai fighter in history has fought and beat so many international world champions along with being a Lumpini champion and giving up such a huge weight disadvantage as Kitsongrit educate yourself Nak Muay Nation otherwise your all just haters and posers
Lopez Bunch so we can’t have casuals in the sport? Lmfao
Rip legend .
great fighter
Killer beats!!!
A true warrior...he will literally fight anybody....mostly larger than him
Muay Thai champions never skip leg day.
