- The fight Rick Roufus (USA) vs Changpuek Kietsongrit (THA).
Until the 80s, for people who had never visited Thailand, Muay Thai was a completely unknown martial art. While in Brazil Jiu-Jitsu developed and, according to residents, claimed to be the best battle system in the world. In America, it was believed that kickboxing and karate have no equal...

This fight is basically:
Kickboxer: Follow my rules.
Thai: Alright. Then let me break your leg.
Aw man 😂
Cracked me up !
yup without these rules the kickboxer would be laying on groud first round.
I wonder if they allowed the elbow and knee, would the fight take that long?
@@misterice4151 it would be over in 2 rounds, 100%

Changpuek: "Can i use low kicks?
Challenger: "Yes, i think that one is ok."
Changpuek: "Challenge accepted"
The brother commenting after was probably dumber then rocks, and went on to prove it.
if thai fighter can use elbows ad throwing it would have ben over in first round
90% is a little strong and insulting to Muay Thai.
Edit; 90% of Muay Thai isn't leg kicks they have way more tools than that.
@@richardlamarre3610 didn't he coach a few champs in UFC?
@@philipdaviddavies9478 you mean someone with my name?
“My style is better than yours and I’ll prove it but you have to fight my way”... Doesn’t really sound like a proper challenge to me.
i like the art of fighting without fighting lol.
Thats some sensible saying..good
And still got beaten..how about that??
If he doesn't fight against the muay thai style, then he couldn't prove that his style is better than that.
And he still loses
I love the unbiased commentary, Roufus can barely walk but Changpuek "cant deal with his power"
It always infuriates me watching this fight and listening to those bum commentators. They also kept saying how the rules favored Muay Thai bc of the low kicks despite them not allowing elbows knees or takedowns. Ik it's from a different time period but still so infuriating
Those leg kicks were so brutal I almost called the cops.
Imagine being a kick boxing champion and losing to a fighter who follows your rules and only uses 1 move
Low kicks are my kryptonite
That's exactly what makes the comparison no good.
Obviously Thai kb is superior because they are allowed so many more moves / weapons.
How can kb compete with a style that allows kb + much more?
Of course thai kb is more effective.
It was a stupid debate & foolish of the champ to think kb can compete with kb + a lot more weapons (or even 1 more)
Now the question shoulda been -
"Can thai kickboxing style compete with kb if they have to follow all kb rules?"
Little sibling
It was kick boxing he did get kicked a lot
.
ouch
Imagine calling yourself the greatest fighter of that time, but then you lost to 80% nerfed person
Good
Not just lose, lose in the most embarrassing way.
Actually that was not only a loss he got destroyed
😹😭😭😹😹
Glad he got destroyed and humiliated. I fucking HATE arrogant people.
That was one hard lesson in Muay Thai. Those low kicks add up very quickly. Pain is hard to ignore. However much respect to both fighters.
Even if you can ignore the pain it doesnt mean your muscle wont seize up and drop you , thats the brutal thing about calf kicks it can completely fuck your mobility
For real, it starts to hurt so bad... I couldnt walk for 2 days after 1 fight where I took only a few hard shots, although one of them hit so hard I actually saw a flash of light in my vision lol. That sucked, but a guy I used to train with actually ended up in the hospital after a hard match, he woke up in so much pain he had call an ambulance, turns out the swelling from the bruising in his thigh was so bad it was pushing his frigging femur. Fuk that lol. But ya, those leg kicks are no joke.
No respect to Rick; didn't even compete against Muay Thai here -- more like 25% of Muay Thai. And still ran from him 100 times.
No elbows, no grabs, Rufus was able to use all his weapons, and still knocked down.
Thai fighter cheat with his slow kick
@@pokervietnam4726 no, those are fast kicks.
Poker VietNam It’s not against the rules to repeatedly hit the same spot over and over again. Fucking learn the goddamn rules man.
Poker Vietnam- I think they need a sarc tag...
agree 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
At the hospital, Rufus could be heard screaming" my thai is broken".
LMAO! Underrated for sure!
Accurate
HA HA....
Haha, you're pretty funny bro!
😂😂😂😂😂
Those kicks are devastating to someone not conditioned for them. Props to RR for eating so many and not crumpling. Low round kicks and oblique kicks are also great techniques for self defence. Relatively easy to learn and fight enders when landed even semi well.
He did crumble 😂
You're forgetting Rick had like 50 lbs on the dude... gigantic size differences have always been typical for Thais fighting non-Thais. Another great example is Nokweed Davy vs. Jerome Le Banner. Many argue that had that fight gone longer, there's a good chance Davy would have won. Oh and that initial knockdown in the first round broke Chanpuek's jaw, dude's tough as nails.
No props deserved;; he was too afraid to even allow elbows, knees or clinching.
The Thai would've made quick work of him despite the obvious weight class difference if he could actually use Muay Thai. The first time ...and every time....Rick went inside, the Thai had a clear chance to elbow him for the KO.
This was actually kinda funny. Hats off to the Muay Tai guy. I once boxed a guy who knew both boxing & karate. He always beat me when we boxed, but when he used Karate & I boxed, I just punched him in the foot & it was over. What ever the deciplines used the advantage will almost always go to the guy who is best at misdirection & balancing offense with defense, strength with agility, exploiting weaknesses & knowing their strengths. Mai Tau makes sense to me tho. They take the legs out from a distance & if you can avoid that, they can elbow & knee you from many angles inside. It just seems that they cover all bases, by using their entire body & leveraging everything to the fullest. I like Ju Jitzu too because of the focus on balance & leveraging. There's alot to be said for a solid grappler to. There's not much ya can do if they can tie you up in a choke or arm bar. My bros. Greaser friends picked a fight with a college wrestling coach decades ago. They were all sizes, big & small, boxers, street fighters & a few off duty cops. The wrestler was an average size & smaller than most of them. They fought one at a time & he put them all to sleep without hurting anything but their pride.
Imagine if he could use his elbows and knees. He would’ve destroyed him in minutes
Minutes, plural, might be generous. Changpuek could probably have finished him in 90 seconds but would have tossed him around like a rag doll with some clinches first just to entertain the crowd.
*seconds
Just what I thought
all rules set up to benefit Kick boxer and he called it a clash of Mt and Kb 🤣
Yeah that's pretty much true.
@bo xer cause it's martial art for killing most of the hit and only some for knocking out other.
The fact that he adopted muay thai and started teaching it is pretty awesome, he recognized it was superior to kickboxing after all
Well yeah.
It's really a stupid comparison for the champ or anyone else to make because Thai kb pretty much can use all the moves as kb, they just get to use a lot more weapons on top of it.
It's like putting a Thai kb against an Mma champ and limiting the MBA guy on some moves but still allowing jujitsu moves.
The Mma guy will still know the thai kb. He had more tools on top of it.
Had they limited those low kicks too the kb woulda won that day.
@@jupitercyclops6521 yea but why would they would’ve limited low kicks? That makes no sense, they wanted to see what a Muay Thai fighter could’ve done to a kick-boxer. Had they allowed knees and elbows the Muay Thai boxer would’ve won faster 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@ItsLilIzzzy they didn't limit them, they just didn't score very well on the scorecard.
@@davidgillespie1280 the Thai fighter wasn’t allowed to throw knees or elbows that’s like one of his main weapons, that’s limiting my g
@@ItsLilIzzzy oh yes 100% on the knees and elbows, I meant the leg kicks weren't limited, just scored low. Yea if he could've unloaded with his whole arsenal it would've ended quick.
As a Star Wars fan, I love it when he says "the Thai fighter".
Roufus looked like one of those kids who taught himself martial arts from a 3 pack of VHS tapes.
Man, imagine if this happened some years later, they would've sent Buakaw. That would've been really bad. This guy could've lost his legs on the rings.
Yes..or even saenchai..

@@tamo9659 ohh lol
Absolutely love how the announcers were so cocky at the beginning of the fight calling Changpuek "that guy." But, by the end of the fight it was all about the exhibition fight and permanent damage. The fight did NOT go the way the American announcers were wanting it to go. Too funny, so done with the American exceptionalism myth. We're no better than any other people on earth.
No one person, one race, one class or any country or grouping of countries own anything exclusively for very long. Such is the history of humankind and such will be for posterity
@Gandalfdawytenigga I have to disagree, it is clear throughout the fight that the commentators had little understanding of Muay Thai, Rufus would have been destroyed in a couple of rounds if Kietsongrit had been allowed to use his full arsenal of blows. You may also not know how Rufus and the US 'experts' had disparaged Kietsongrit prior to the fight. By the way it is difficult for a farang to become a champion in Thailand because there are very few who can stay the course. I have had the pleasure of meeting both Kietsongrit and Ramon Dekkers and both were easily capable of beating Rufus. The reason people insult Americans is simple, they see through the arrogance of the 'Murica' crowd.
An exhibition fight where Rick did everything he could possibly do to kill
his apponent but failed , so Rick is labeled a victim by the announcers, lmao..
@@freddieclark Kind of a silly contest wasn't it, ''come in and show us muay thai

Salute the consistency...💪
I started watching kickboxing in the 1990s, when Seido Kaikan in Japan hosted the Karate Olympics, in 1993 at the K-1 GRAND-PRIX. I am very happy to be able to watch stand-up martial arts and kickboxing matches from the late 1980s on TH-cam. Thanks to internetworking! ! As far as I see this match, it's called Muay Thai and kickboxing, but looking at Rick Roufus' fighting style and appearance, it looks like a European Savate without low kicks. Chiangpuet Kiangsongrit, on the other hand, is good at low kicks in upright, typical Muay Thai style. Therefore, if you don't have a low kick defense, you will end up with this result.
私がキックボクシングを観戦し始めたのは1990年代、日本の正道会館が空手オリンピックを開催、1993年開催のK-1 GRAND-PRIXからでした。1980年代後半の立ち技格闘技やキックボクシングの試合がTH-camで視聴出来て大変嬉しいです。インターネットワーキングに感謝！！この試合を見る限りムエタイとキックボクシングと銘打っていますが、Rick Roufus の戦闘スタイルと格好を見る限りヨーロッパ系のローキックなしの Savate みたいですね。一方、Chiangpuet Kiangsongrit はuprightで典型的なムエタイスタイルでローキックが得意です。よってローキックの防御を身に付けていないとこの様な結果になってしまいます。
I once lost a kickboxing fight because of getting kicked in the legs I thought I could take it but my legs couldn't hold up. I was totally fine until I wasn't. I learned how to check after that the hard way
You say he was unsportsman like when he stomped on him, but yet kicking him in the head was ok after he was already down?
Plus that stamping on the opponent is actually part of the antique way of muay thay! As it originate for soldiers, the stepping on people like that was directed to the enemy’s head to end the fight.
Yeah he was like being hated by every ones there. Their country, their game, their hero, their supremacism pride, etc. He seemed as much confused as angry back then.

“He did not require a lot of skill to throw these kicks”
Yeah, but it takes a LOT of skill to avoid being hit by them. That's the whole point.
Perfect.
@@pedrohmr22 Funny! Spot on!!
It also takes a lot of training to condition your legs to essentially becoming baseball bats like Muay Thai does. Duke tried to lessen Chang's skills while not acknowledging Chang was fighting under rules that eliminated about 75% of the arsenal he trains to fight with.
@@slayermill8621 Yes. I'm familiar with the constraints the Thai fighter was fighting under. No elbows, no throws, no knees, etc. Duke asserted low kicks were "worthless" and was out to prove Karate was superior to Muay Thai. He learned the lesson the hard way and got his legs damaged. As I remember they carried Rufus out on a stretcher. Then as I remember Benny "The Jet" Urquidez took on the Thai fighters and showed them how effective boxing combined with karate was. Leg kicking, especially calf kicks, are fast becoming a necessary tool in an MMA fighter's tools kit as Izzy, Justin and Dustin have show just how effective attacks on the leg can be.
@@slayermill8621
It doesnt take a lot training to be able to deal with low kicks effectively. In this particular fight Rick had 3 massive advantages - He have shoes - oponent is barefoot, he have pants - oponent only short pants, and Rick have longer arm reach. Long pants offers HUGE shock absorbtion and we dont know how much padding or how thick they are. 3 huge advantages which simply will shred the M Thai fighter. But Rick make 3 stupid mistakes. 1. Jumps too much at one place. This makes you slower than turtle. Your job must be to move sideways and forward. Not up n' down. 2. Longer arm reach means you can hit oponent face each and every time when he makes low kick attempt. 3. Stick only to boxing. Only hands. Use your gloves to hit oponent elbows, knees etc. Punch the low kicks.
There is absolute no question that BOTH FIGHTERS have been extraordinary. I applaud both very much.
My legs is hurting just watching this fight lol
When you accept your loss and learn from it, that’s when you truly begin to grow.
WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wrong, when you accept your loss only then are you truly defeated. It's ugly but that's the truth.
@@4P3X101 No, he had it right. You're twisting his message. Accepting a loss doesn't mean it's game over. It means that you acknowledge you have weaknesses to work on and learn from. Giving lame excuses for why you lost and not accepting your opponent's win, means you're truly defeated.
@@4P3X101 He said when you learn from it, that's when you truly begin to grow. It makes total sense to me.
@@bastianena Loss isn't game over? I'm not twisting his message I'm refuting it. Learning is growing but you do that in the gym, not by being defeated in the ring. Once you're defeated that's it. Never accept loss unless you plan on calling it there. He didn't accept loss right? That's because he didn't want to give it up, shame him for it if you want to. I'm just calling out bullshit.
Half his moves weren't allowed, pressure was high, got knocked down, took many serious hits, but he never gave up...That is a true fighter
Nice video. Good fight and fun to watch. No fluff.
The only area the American bested the Thai boxer, was the punching.
I would've like to see the same fight without the restrictions forced on the Thai boxer.
"however, low kicks were allowed"
so you have chosen death
Lol
Lmfao !
I KNOW, I KNOW!!! quote from LotR right????
Don't know much about Muay Thai. But, I practiced Kyokushin and now very well; how devastating are low kickS
Lol
just imagine how this fight would have gone if the Thai would have been allowed to use his full arsenal
The fight wouldn't have lasted five minutes
Hahahahahhaa.. bye2 to him
@@stanfield3239 Rufous made himself look like a pussy regardless of if he was to win or lose.
Yeah, or if he could use throws, joint locks instead of just hands and feet. Imagine if he had fought a top ranked MMA fighter of today.

lowe kicks,not vs Rob Kaman also nowe lowe kicks alowed,alouwed
Powerful kicks!!! Great Job.
Both showed a lot of heart. Well done!
In his home turf
His own rules
His own fans
Still gets owned
With rules taking away his elbow strikes and other weapons? This is the difference between sports and real fighting.
Edit: on the other hand, you sign up for this. The fight would have been over faster had the tai fighter had the use of all his techniques
@jon sertic 😂😂😂😂😂
i don't know kickboxing: but he was really bad based on the simple fact that he didn't switch legs..
That Rufes boy makese me sick to the bone ratboy 30 kg more weight and MUAY THAI rules.where ?
His brother cap is written "cools" hope the thighs cooled 😁😁😁
“It doesn’t require a lot of skill to apply these blows to the legs” so.. his brother got the shit kicked out of him (carried out on a stretcher) by a guy with NO skill? He’s really saying his brother REALLY sucks!!! 🤣🤣whata DUFUS!!
IKR?! LMAO!!
The low kicks shattered his brother's brains who was just watching the event.
I mean it really doesn't. I see beginners able to do it yet they can't snap a roundhouse kick higher than their waist so 🤷♂️
😂😂😂
Lolol Rick dufus! I troll lol. His brother was just mad he lost
Marvellous video. Many claim nowadays that Krav Maga is the best but we see it's Muay Thai. Bruce Lee practiced some Thai too for a reason, mainly to strengthen the lower kicks and the bone. I'm going to visit a gym soon.
I trained at Rick Rufus‘s gym in Tempe AZ 16 years ago. He is the man and a gentleman. I hope you are well. Thanks Rick.

Lmaooo
Yeah and those kick are on my leg hahaha
Hahaha
Id hate it too if you limit 90% of my arsenal for a "fair" fight. Getting the other team cheered on for knocking you out, while knowing how easy it is to defeat him if it wasn't for the limit.
That was an epic fight. Changpuek Kietsongrit revitalized the notion of martial arts. Fictional Rocky could have learned how to be tougher by training under actual Muy Thai amateurs.
ah after round 1 the coach whispered "Banana Tree" to Chang's ear.
They should see what happened to the banana tree.
I thought they used Palm Trees.

Hahaha lmao
The white dude thought that he’s the baddest on the planet, until he knew that the guy in front of him kicks banana trees for breakfast. Haha.
You're talking about Changpuek's stepping on Roufus' stomach but never mentioned Changpuek's being kicked at the face while he was hitting the canvas on the second knockout of the first round.
Yes exactly , i noticed that as well.
Umm you mean second knockout? You should time stamp it next time btw
And if true it's the second, i don't think his kick hit his face
Cmiiw
@@dhew1253 Lol it did hit him and Chanpuek's jaw was broken from round 1.
And he kicked also the head of thai after the ring bells
With all those restrictions put on Muay Thai there was not much left for the Muay Thai fighter but to use those low kicks and just those low kicks proved to be enough to bring down the greatest kick boxer. Which also invalidates the statement "He did not require a lot of skill to throw these kicks" what if he was allowed to used elbows ?? It would have finished far earlier.
Nobody talks about Muay Thai effective defense. That itself show superiority over kickboxing
Just imagine if he could use clinch and elbow, would have been over in round 2
absolutely! classic muay thai would end that fight maybe in the first round
No doubt about it!!
Definitely 100%
unlikely thai fighters like to let the fight go long for the crowd he wouldn't go for early finish
Watch yodkhunpon's fight, god damn his opponent looked like they've been mangled by zombies
08:50 He was running away from those kicks like he's being beaten by his mother😂😂😂😂😂😩
😂😂😂😂😂
And all of us would do so. XD
😂 😂 😂 😂
Good old painful memories lol
so true lol
Rick Roufus lasted 5 rounds against such powerful precise kicks. Can't imagine the pain he was under at the final rounds.
Both him and his brother started looking into Muay Thai after this fight.
Great family of fighters.
He wouldn't have last 2 rounds if the thai had all his moves available to him
Yes I know this pain well, I'm sure he couldn't even squat to poop for a few days😊
Should've let him use elbows; it would've been over in 1-2 minutes.
I remember those days, as a TKD Black Belt 2nd degree (1982), I recall being kicked and quickly figured the best defense was a sweeping kick, then things changed. The feet have longer reach and your hands do not have reach/time, so it was all about foot to foot. I do recall one match when I did a jump spinning back kick planted on the Thai kickboxer's face and it was an immediate KO. Happy ending : )
Today on things that never happened.
Youve got big bad american, who had everything in his favour, losing to the thai underdog in america, restricted and with unfair judges, truly a great event.
In real fights very few things trump experience. These Thai boys start fighting as children. A pre-teen can have over 70 fights under his belt. And it is not just a sport. It's pride, tradition and family honor and for many the only way to earn a living. They are ruthless, hungry, practically immune to pain and driven as no sportsman can be. They can be beaten, but if you face them you better be VERY serious about it because they are.

I was there that night that event was wild. 👊🏾
I especially love how Duke Roufus basically said "It took very little skill to defeat my brother."
And later duke went on the be renowned for his powerful low kicks..
Duke became a muai thai champ i believe?
Sacha.....LOL. The white supremacist brother in trying to belittle the Muai Thai champion, unwittingly disgraced his own brother’s fighting skill. He looks like a fat non- skull.
lol, right right, hadnt seen it that way, true true
In actually it's true it did take little skill all he had to do is low kick him and all Rick had to do was check but his inability to check a kick gave the Muay Thai fighter an edge to keep chopping his opponent down, now if Rick had checked some of those kicks maybe the fight goes a different way
Duke: "Takes no skill to throw low kicks". Kiatsongkrit: "Takes even less skill to not block them."
Shut up stupid
If a foreigner meets an American in the United States, the American always has the advantages of the judges when it comes to boxing and martial arts, the foreigner must always win by knockout otherwise the American always wins with the help of the judges
That's called skills shut off fucken idiot. White guy just suck with his legs that's why he got knocked out

TBH Rufus is a bit of dumbfuck honestly. After almost knocking out the Thai guy, he should have continue with the close quarters combat and tried to knock him out with punches instead of getting his legs broken slowly and from a far.
@@MrBl3ki he also put no bodywork in but oh well got his tactics wrong personally I'd have loved a rematch with the shock factor of leg kicks accounted for.

The fact is Rick is one of the world's greatest kickboxers.
This was his first defeat. He went over 60w with only that one loss.
Ricks professional career spanned over three decades!
Look at who he defeated - Kaman twice, Hoost 1 out of 2 times.
Those are just a couple of the greats. Research his record.
Would any of you say that those guys are even bigger bums or losers because they were defeated by Roufus? I think not.
You're talking shit. Completely stupid nonsense!
Do you have a full video of these two beautiful creatures? How they met and other details?
The weakness of kicks, just like any other attack, is that the power comes from the distance traveled. Any attack can be defeated not by avoiding it, but by getting inside its effective range. A kick is useless if it cant transfer all of its kinetic energy. The same goes for a punch. The power comes at full extension. Not half. This is why Ju-Jitsu is arguably the best martial art. It is also why it was incorporated into what we now call MMA. Which MMA is just kickboxing combined with Ju-Jitsu.

This is not Muay Thai vs kickboxing, this is a Thai fighter and a kickboxer with rules that the thai fighter has never fought under, and the kickboxer is used to. If this happened under Thai rules, Roofus would have been obliterated. I live in Milwaukee and have been to a couple classes taught by Duke Roofus, so I have a ton of respect for Duke and his father. But the rules here are the biggest factor in this fight, even more than either man's skill set.
Changpuek is the equivalent of that friend who only uses one move all the time when playing street fighter, tekken or mk and beats you with it..
The fight should be called is "Limited" Muay Thai vs. Kickboxing.
Muay Thai Lite
My man💪🏾😂😂😂
Yes, you are right because Rufus, can you all his weapons and the Thai guy can only use low kick with punch.
I mean, what do you expect?
Of course he wouldn’t fight under the Muay Thai ruleset, he has never been hit with an elbow before. It would be stupid to fight with Muay Thai rules. A Muay Thai fighter won’t fight MMA rules and an MMA fighter won’t fight in a fight with groin strikes. Why would they? It’s not the ruleset they are used to...
That was not a Muay Thai competition. It's Kickboxing. If you think that was limited, send the Thai guy to MMA.
Rick Roufus be like this "Muay Thai" fighter destroyed " MY Thigh". lol
No pun intended?
The best comment av ever encountered,😂😂😂😂😂😂
Muay Thai originally was used by soldiers in the war, with sword or after loosing all swords, the soldier use his body as killing weapon, nowadays Muay Thai has been adapted to become sport.
@@notavail Yea old was called Muay Boran later Muay thai
LOL
Si bien ambos estilos permiten patear, la contundencia la tiene quien mejor conecta con los puños....la maña y el colmillo operan con mucho oficio....en verdad son brutales y aguerridos estos encuentros...
The fun was over after the first round. Then three consecutive rounds that followed were just relentless. Proving once again that the whole body can fall apart not only by targeting the head, but what sustains it.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times."
This video shows why ;).
Yeah, Bruce even said that never try to out-perform a boxer with boxing, use kicks.
changpuek practiced his 100,000 times
Didn't know how to counter but still nothing to fear.
Not a fight expert only been in a fight once just curious. Wouldn't knowing how to do just one kick mean it is easy to make a game plan to counter that one kick?
@@leisureenjoyer1986 all practised on usa doofus, i mean rufus.
Everyone has a plan till they get kicked in the legs. - Changquek
This seems like it was the inspiration for the movie Kickboxer, with JCVD and Dennis Alexio
Hitting others leg with so much power is a very sophisticated way to teach him lesson. Offering pay as you go package to opponent. No serious injuries. Many plus are there.
Legendary fight ! Really shows how good Changpuek was. He won despite the limitations of elbows and knees.
Man it's really heartwarming to see a boxing channel appreciate all aspects of combat. Not acting like the other snobbier people of boxing putting boxing on a pedestal.
The snobbery that I see the most is from BJJ fans.
YES Most boxing fans are so damn snobby snooty salty lil brats.
@@AZK91 MMA works against anyone that's untrained anytime, anywhere 1 on 1 with no weapons but MMA fighters are the nicest, most polite and less snub people I've ever met. You would think it would be the other way around.
@@israelwolstein9351 Practitioners of all martial arts are generally humble and kool people in my experience. But I'm just saying that from what I've seen, BJJ practitioners behave (especially online) like BJJ is the end all and be all of martial arts.
I love boxing but also kickboxing the head kick kos are exhilarating
This fight isn’t a great example, but I train in Muay Thai and in my experience, boxers can be scary up close, but don’t understand how to defend kicks and usually freeze up in a clench. They were getting punished both in close range and long range. Not saying either fighting art is better or worse.
Also any Muay Thai fighter who’s had a training day of taking those low kicks in successions knows just how much pain the kickboxer was in haha
I don't know how many times I watched this fight, and I enjoyed, I was never bored seeing the American fighter destroyed.
Damn, nobody told me about that low kick earlier.
~ Rufus
Rufus brother: low kicks are cowardly
Me: A Thai defeated a representative of the whole kickboxing community with one strike...
Bruce Lee: "I don't fear the man who practices a thousand kicks but I fear the man who practices one kick a thousand times!" Now we know why!
😂
The Thai was already restricted from the usual arsenal - no kneeing, no grappling, and no elbows. If he had those at his disposal, the Thai would have creamed the cocky Rufus in a single round or two.
Yeah, they forgot that the Thai fighter was 80% restricted in using his techniques.
@@msbrownbeast definitely correct 👌
That was a brilliant video. First time seen a Overconfident American getting ass kicked. Keep it simple he didn't had reply for low kicks. Endurance that Thai guy showed was commendable...
They restricted the muay thai fighter's move with kickboxing rule, He restricted the kickboxer's move with destroying his legs. What a legendary flex.
So basically they took away 90% of his techniques. If they would have no chance against you then fight under their rules, he had the balls to fight under your cherry picked rules.
Actualy rules has to be mixed. After all is kickboxing vs M Thai. Kickboxer must stay under kickboxing rules, M Thai Fighter under M Thai rules. Which means kickboxer must use only kickboxing - strikes and kicks only without low kicks,elbows,etc.
M Thai fighter can use all M Thai elbows, knees, throws etc. Still kick boxer have 3 massive advantages but made 3 HUGE mistakes during that match. He could win over the M Thai fighter if was not so stupid. Stupid mistakes.
So 3 massive advantages
+ Longer hands. That is advantage that is massive. He can smash the skull of the oponent. Yet oponent cant reach him.
+ Wearing pants is advantage which greatly reduces damage of low kicks and make shock absorbtion. Especially if are thick and have padding under. Oponennt doesnt have.
+ Having shoes which you can kick with. Oponent is barefoot.
Those 3 massive advantages make every serious boxer/kickboxer to shred to pieces M Thai or any kind of nude barefoot fighter. Regardless of how will act the oponent fighter.
But Rick made 3 Huge mistakes which cost him the fight. Mistakes which no serious fighter will not make in his position.
Why didn't the Thai fighter throw a kick to the head or was it against the rules?
@@vangcruz4442 They tend to stay low with the kicks. It's more energy efficient and you're not as exposed to counter punches and kicks.
@@stefanpersson6475 I taught that after 20 low kicks, the thai fighter would fake a low kick and go high for the skull. Unless it was part of the special rule he have to fight under or just wanted to tenderize the legs for breaking his jaw.
Agree!!
I remember watching this fight, it was in Vegas, I was like 13, and trained Muay Thai ever since, fought at Lumpini and Rajadamnern
YOU ARE SO COOL. RESPECT FROM BANGKOK.
Wow.hahaha

When did you fight at lumpini and rajadamnern? Only ranked fighters in Thailand are invited to fight there...Whats your name or fight name? Kuz Lumpini and Rajadamnern website list ALL fighters past and present and if you really fought we should be able to look your name up.....
Kyokushin low kick is so popular that's why Changpuek used Kyokushin low kick in this fight which happened in the 80's 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
The brother still didn't admit that the Thai techniques was skillful even after seeing his brother take a vicious beating. Maybe the brother should have challenged the Thai fighter right after so they can have matching cast on their legs. Haha.
I’ve watched this fight for years and it still amazes me Chang survived a broken jaw and two knockdowns in the first, comes back with the win by destroying Rick with leg kicks despite having much of his arsenal banned in this bout.
Yeah, super tough mentally to keep fighting with a busted jaw. Going by the pool of blood he spat out, it was properly broken as well.
Exactly! Same here, seen this fight for years. Astonishing as you said. CHANG continued with a broken jaw to win the fight! I want none of this fighter. F-king unbelievable.
This is when they started saying things like “He kicked the shit out of him.”
Ahahahahahaha!!
Lololololol
Lolz
@@jamescarden8693 k
Oh shit. U got it haha
This video is history, should be remade in HD
so spamming 1 single move the entire fight works in real life too ?
damn
This happens when you meet a real fearless FIGHTER.
@3:47, Rick try to sneak in a cheap shot with a kick, while the Thai fighter was on his way down. Maybe that was why the Thai fighter gave him a stomp when rick was down @6:30.
And before any of that the Thai fighter Kneed Rick in the face as his was sitting. So what's your point? Also you can kick WHILE they are falling. It's not against the rules.
@@alondor8157 yea, so the thai stomping on him was fine as well. You fight until the ref intervenes, if anyone's to blame, it's the slow ref
Alondor and before that, they had the whole set in Ricks favor and he still took the beating.
what year?
Were they of the same weight?
This was Rick Roufous’ first real fight. I guarantee you he hasn’t forgotten that day yet.
This fight will hunt him forever
Dont see any Muay Thai in UFC, wonder why
@@o_Juffo_o Everybody in mixed martial arts trains Muay Thai as well. I don't know what you're talking about.
@@timsummers870 Strictly Muay Thai obviously. Someone like Baukaw crossing over. I know peeps train in all aspects 😆, it's different now.
@@o_Juffo_o i dont think there are tons of strict martial artist in UFC, always a little mix of other
Like going to war, but telling your enemy they're only allowed allowed to use one weapon, and then you still get your ass kicked.
Right ? 😂😂😂555555

It's a sport you fuckwit. Sports have rules. Deal with it 😎
