What do you think of these 3 epic matches with very different outcomes?
I think 99% of the time, MMA fighters would lose... but we have big lessons here.

Spinning back fist? You can't do that here!
Wrestling beats Muay Thai in a sanctioned bout. No two ways about it. Wrestling wins. Muay Thai beats the above average MMA striker. The above average MMA striker "can" beat a wrestler.
Rock, paper, scissors.
The same can be said about Muay thai fighters in an MMA ring. We already saw how easily DJ blacked out rodtang. There is no comparison here.
It really depends on the rules. MT fighters with little wrestling or grappling dont do well in MMA
WTF LAWRENCE?? You talked about MMA vs Muaythai without mentioning DJ vs Rodtang? Comon this clip is so bias based Bullshit. Me and my team report misleading on your clip. This is number one Bullshit.
Not to mentioned that most of the fight that Muaythai won MMA, the rules are favor Muaythai fighters. 90% of the time, if a real Muaythai fighter face against a real MMA fighter in a full contact fight with full ground game. Muaythai will eventually lose. Simple as that.
Even, we Thai people, know about this point. Stop being bias so much on one thing. In Mauythai fight we will have a Strategy called “Judo”, when u cant beat them on the feet, u just gotta keep clinching them and keep throwing them to the ground and they will eventually lose the stamina. Be Real.
rulesets make the fights. take an mma fighter and stick him in Lumpinee against ranked Lumpinee fighters under traditional Muay Thai rules and he doesn't stand a chance.. take a ranked Lumpinee fighter and stick him in the UFC octagon against ranked mixed-martial artists and he doesn't stand a chance. DJ vs Rodtang for example, that's not even traditional muay thai and Rodtang still had the advantage in the muay thai round but clearly didn't in the mma round, and Rodtang isn't even a particularly "muay thai" nak muay. he's not a clincher and he's not a big kicker, which are two of the most integral aspects of muay thai.
when people say "muay thai vs mma" it's pretty pointless without context, it's just an engagement driver. muay thai fighters are better at muay thai than mma fighters. mma fighters are better at mma. some mma fighters are better at K-1 kickboxing than some muay thai fighters and vice versa, especially the ones with backgrounds in kickboxing sports like Shootboxing (andre dida) and Kickboxing and TKD (korean zombie). I'd like to see an MMA fighter with a wrestling base try to fight Pajonsuk in Glory lol. you can guess how it'd go just like how if Pajonsuk put on a wrestling singlet and did the opposite he'd lose.
none of these fights are "mma fighter vs muay thai fighter" in the sense of two stylists using their arts to their fullest abilities because the rulesets don't allow for it therefore it's not really "muay thai vs mma", it's "some muay thai base fighters vs some mma base fighters in kickboxing". it all depends on rulesets.
thanks for your thoughts!
Same boat. Wasn't sure which rules sets these were picked based on the title of the video. I think it's better if they picked a neutral ground for both fighters or those in similar/adjacent sports. For mma vs muay thai, maybe western boxing as it limited both of them tremendously (unless the muay thai fighter is the puncher style). mma vs combat jiu-jitsu would be a closer one to me as combat jj should be fine with getting a few hits unlike pure jj players. But totally agree rule sets help dicate the match.
less rules = more effective, that's the point of this comparison 🤷
@@bongkem2723 fewer rules? these are sports, there will always be rules no matter what lol
MMA fighters are balanced well-rounded fighters, but they don't do well against specialists in their own fields, like boxing, kickboxers, wrestlers and etc. Obviously, the specialists who've spent years honing their craft would prevail against a jack of all trade.
However, there are some MMA fighters who are elite strikers like Anderson Silva and Israel Adesanya. It would be interesting to see either the two of them up against a Muay Thai champion like Buakaw
Too much weight difference
Yes but win or lose mma guys will at least put up a great fight vs any specialist but no specialist can do much against an mma fighter in their own field
Except Israel Adesanya literally started as a kickboxer and had muay thai bouts before ever starting his MMA career. I don't think that transition would be hard for him. Similar fighters would be Alistair Overeem, Mark Hunt, and Cro Cop.
most elite striker in MMA started out in KB/Muay thai, that's how the growth should be, that's why we have people like Cedric Doumbe, Adesanya, Pereira, even Ciryl Gane who's supposed to be on his way to Glory and fight Rico Verhoeven (Such a shame that matchup didn't happen) chose to move full time to MMA instead
MMA figther give a good figth Even tho they lose against a spesialist , Its still a good figth :) i dont train mma but i train muay thai and i kinda respect them steping on a different ring and give everything they can
Buakaw punished dida with blows below the navel and above the cup. No muscle there. Then had to go a 4th round. Dida did well surviving that fight.
Muay Thai is the best base for stand up (meaning it gives you the most realistic scenarios for stand up combat). I think ,however, it’s important to learn or spar other styles because there are some techniques ie: spin kicks, that you may not encounter as often strictly doing MT.
Yeah all martial arts have their strengths and weaknesses.
This is why each discipline has its own set of rules.
For instance, in mma, the downward elbow is forbidden while it is valid in MT, and in MT ground work is not allowed while it is an essential part of mma.
IMO if you really want a fair match, you should take away what's forbidden in both disciplines practiced by the fighters. It would be a no elbows, no ground wrestle fight, but in this case I think most MMA fighters would feel it is unfair.
How can you say that if some high level Muay Thai fighters often get beat by MMA fighters in their own game?? Not to mention 2 of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of all time having major trouble too, Baukaw nearly got beat by a very low level MMA fighter and Rodtang got whooped by Mighty Mouse.
Muay Thai uses a very specific base and range, it makes them static, they can't move back or laterally very well and can't cut angles well. Other stikers who vary ranges, base and angles more will give the Muay Thai guy lot of trouble.
There's a reason Muay Thai fighters don't make it to the UFC and Boxers/K1/Wrestlers/BJJ specialists consistently make it to the top.
With that said, Muay Thai fighters are very tough mentally, but the style has a lot of limitations.
All fun and games till it's not just standup like irl but big respect to both
@@conor7179Rodtang did NOT get whooped 🤣 He was literally unfazed by Demetrious and the only reason he won is because of the submission
Since they are not using MMA rules, this is more like professional Muay Thai vs amateur Muay Thai. There is nothing MMA going on here. AN actual MMA match between the two types of fighters would be a better showcase of skills, because you can still do Muay Thai in MMA.
do check out all 3 outcomes
Watch rodtang vs mighty mouse
@@LawrenceKenshin you didn't mention the Rodtang vs DJ fight.
@@LawrenceKenshin Why is the title Muay Thai vs MMA when there is no MMA? You showed 3 Muay Thai fights.
Yodkaikaew vs Schild
7 - 3 vs 100 - 0..... thats a beginner vs a vetran...bruh thats no fight
Lawrence, you are killing it with your videos lately. They are always high quality and
you have a style. Nicely done, please don't stop.
Love these breakdowns in particular
Rodtang vs DJ would have been a great one to mention here
Under mma rules these thai fighters wouldnt fare so well
you think so? why?
@@LawrenceKenshin most likely, can they stop a take down?
@@borarem some can, especially with training yes
@@LawrenceKenshin squared Muay Thai stance makes it easier for double legs.
You could say the same about these mma fighters for Muay Thai, all these are k-1 rules
MMA fighters are the best well rounded fighters in the world,and MMA fighters will always evolve and get better,since it isn't that old. Rodtang got destroyed in under 1 round, when the rules were MMA! And rodtang is an awesome stand up fighter,which is obvious,but when you bring grappling, takedowns and ju- jitsu into the fight,it changes drastically.
Yupe. You can destroy the best striker in the world with just some grappling skills.
Bro DJ is the GOAT of mma so that’s not really the best example 🤣. Rod tang would mop the floor with your average mma flyweight with ease tho only the elite in mma beat him.
Mma fighters are master of nothing, Don't missunderstand me MMA are a incredible way to prove martials artist skills, but I think they should learn a art as a base first and in base of that, star to complete your art with the tools that mma gives you.
@@erma_chete what about Oliveira? He's one of the best bjj practitioner in the world. Same with rda, Gilbert burns, cejudo, khabib, and countless others
@@gettingoverit3080 You just proved his point because none of these people you listed started training with mma.
You should've mentioned Rodtang vs Demetrious Johnson that one was a shocker to watch since everyone thought Rodtang would win. Granted DJ had already been fighting in One Championship for for 4 previous fights and won the Flyweight title, but it was still cool to see.
I knew DJ would win. Rodtang is a pure striker. DJ is a striker and a grappler. Still he still got some shots. If it was a pure grappler vs a MMA, the fight would end in 2 seconds, being that the grappler got KO.
@@iROChakri agreed. if Rodtang had as Good Grappling as DJ he wud have Won but he doesent have Grappling
lol everyone thought DJ would win, not Rodtang, he just had to run around and survive the first round
Must be seeing different comments cause I saw everyone saying DJ would win
what a dumb question. Because of the rules. Overall MMA is objectively superior to standalone Muay Thai.
You don’t know as much as you think you know 🥰
@@LawrenceKenshin
th-cam.com/video/3dG_lg2g-sQ/w-d-xo.html
Mighty Mouse vs Rodtang, Rodtang was put to sleep cope.
Humanity is BUILT to grapple, striking is secondary.
I noticed the mma fighters were willing to kickbox but the Muay Thai champs were NOT willing to wrestle, grapple or submit…
What rule set they were using? Bc I feel like the TKZ match was the best rep of Muy Thai vs MMA bc it showed how creative MMA can be is when it comes to fighting
they were in kickboxing rules. I wouldnt really call it creative mma, his victory came mostly from his opponent vastly underestimating... and him doing something very few ppl would do (throw 2 very sloppy strikes to hope opponent takes bait)
@@LawrenceKenshin I was expecting that you will mention DJ vs Rodtang which would be the best example of Muay Thai vs MMA, but all you showed are fights that favor strikers because of rules.
Muay thai's definitely one of the best combat sports
One of the slickest and evasive fighter in muay thai is Lerdsila Petchyndee academy
umm what about rodtang vs Demetrius Johnson?
Fun fight !
A couple of months ago we had Rodtang vs Mighty Mouse, can't believe You haven't covered that.
would you like me to cover it?
@@LawrenceKenshin would love that!!!
@@LawrenceKenshin yes
@@LawrenceKenshin we would love that
Yes please!
Nice video thx :)
Nothing more to say about the first two fight but the last is different.
Since the move was not allowed i believe we should consider that he didn't defend it because he knew such attack was forbidden.
As a fan of MMA I think Muay Thay is very deadly
I am just now finding out Lerdsila fought at Foxwoods, 20 minutes from my house. Absolutely gutted.
It's never a question of the superior style. It's always a question of the individual with greater skill.
Thank you for the great video Mr. Kenshin, have you ever considered doing a video on leth wei?
Yes would feature it somewhat soon! What do you like about leth wei?
@@LawrenceKenshin Lethwei is essentially bare knuckle muay thai with head butts. I do believe that head butts add another layer of depth to both striking and clinching. I'm not aware of even MMA organizations allowing head butting.
I like how traditionally in Burma one could only win a fight through a K.O., or if the opponent surrendered, otherwise the fight would be ruled a no contest. But it seems like this aspect has been 'modernized'.
@@LawrenceKenshin FWIW I would be interested to see how headbutts change the clinching offense and defense.
You often like to do profiles of famous fighters. How do you feel about David Leduc?
Because it's the only style (that I know of) that allows headbutts in competition, they must have developed some techniques and strategies exclusive to headbutting and lethwei. I'd love to see those identified and expounded upon, as you do.
Also, on a semi-related tangent, since they are gaining some popularity in MMA... maybe cover shoulder strikes as well! I remember Randy Couture using them back in the day, but it definitely gained way more notoriety when Conor did it to Cowboy (no pun intended.) The utility of such strikes seems to be questioned by many, but I feel like they can be legit techniques if practiced properly and employed in the right contexts.
The kickboxing specialist won at his specialization?! Amazing, we need a breakdown to figure out why someone who only does 1 thing is good at that one thing. I can't fathom why.
Lerdzilla very evasive to beat him, Buakaw very hard and technical to beat him and well Pat I think he was confident, I think he should have cut distance and used those sweeps, although the Thai do not usually see the spinning fist and I think it should be included in his arsenal.
There's this guy that has a video on TH-cam on how he analysed Lerdsila's style and then went on to beat him in a match (by points).
Gabriel Varga
@@thejoojoo9999 nice, thanks.
yes the legendary champ Gabriel Varga
He just not won by point he hit lerdsila with spinning attack ang knock him down for a moment.
Great video, could you please make a breakdown of Dominick Cruz's unique style and footwork?
thanks! I wish i could use UFC footage tho, any other recommendations?
@@LawrenceKenshin Maybe stamp fairtex, she's dominated muay Thai and kickboxing on ONE championship and she might become a 3 sport champion. And probably saenchai, I don't think you've made any videos about him yet (:
Do Eduard Folayang! His Sanda style is legit and he has a wicked side kick and back kick to go with his throws.
@@markmessi9020 Dominic Cruz's footwork can best be described thusly - shake and be baked. He looked good I initially, and his fighting IQ is galaxy level but he isn't a stand up fighter despite what he was showing. BJJ is his true game and BJJ isn't as effective as it once was. To be able to transfer power into punches takes either years of training, inherent skill, and/or luck via positioning and momentum.
So what we had here was a BJJ savant attempting throw against a better puncher. Dominic's stance was essentially squared up giving him no chance to laterally evade or reposition. He was head hunting vs a head hunter.
And then Dominic ducks right to gain space, low and behold, there was a Chito-lay left leg kick to his face. Look at Dominic's left hand and arm....down by his waist. He was playing a game he isn't familiar with.
Edit - Dominic's stance was essentially the March stance which Vitor Belfort used initially in his career. Blitz the center line and keep moving forward...only Vitor was on roids and Dominic isn't as quick nor powerful.
@@heyokah No one was talking about the Chito fight, and there's no argument that Dom is a better fighter, he's just old and his chin expired. Chito caught him after being dominated the entire fight
Can you make a video on that one fight where Kevin Ross fought that one Judoka?
Can do!
@@LawrenceKenshin Hell yeah! 🥊
so spinning backfist no but elbow yes? Lawrence please confirm.
I think MMA is like a global citizen, it has no country or cultural heritage and therefore it is free from all or it is something like a pro professional practice, focused mainly only on attacking and defeating the other one in whatever way possible. That's why you can even bring it on the streets and use.
So spinning moves are disallowed in kickboxing?
We need a prediction video. Adesanya Pereira 🔥🔥🔥 let's gooooo
wai who won muay thai or mma fighter ?
MMA is useless once you fall on the ground IRL you are finshed but in MMA kicking someone whose on ground is banned
The f you on about it’s clearly not useless and who says there gonna grab someone they could be a specialist in boxing or Muay Thai etc get your facts right mate
Like other people in the comments have said, this feels less like Muay Thai vs MMA, as the type of rules that being used don’t allow things in MMA, like grappling which I saw none of in these fights though I’m assuming it wasn’t allowed otherwise they would’ve used it. If it was under MMA rules it would be closer to MMA vs Muay Thai because as there doesn’t seem to be anything in Muay Thai wouldn’t be allowed in MMA rules.
I personally think it would’ve been interesting to see how Muay Thai fighters would be able to handle grappling, and if they adapted and would then keep distance between the MMA fighter to prevent grappling.
No spinning back fist? I guess it was a spesific rule in that tournament, rather than a general muay thai rule?
Specific.
Yeah spinning backfists are taught in Thai aswell as allowed under Thai rules.
Can u make video about Oley Kiatoneway? He's such an underrated Trickster of Muay Thai fighter
Buakaw fought in Shootboxing against a mma guy I think really interesting to see him in that competition
Damn that technic of Wilson was sick. Three hard leg kicks and then that "sideways axe kick" (or whatever that was) that flattened the guy! That was insane..I've never seen that kick before. Does anyone know what that kick is called?
I shall deem it the crossover question mark. So shall it be named.
@@heyokah 😂 right on. I concur and will stand witness that you came up with the, what's from now on, the official name. 😂💯
@@kuwaitisnotadeployment1373 thank you kind sir. Let us petition Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier so that they do not call such a beautiful display "Oooohhhhh!"
@@heyokah 😂 that actually really made me laugh out loud ✌🏻
@@heyokah I subbed to your channel so we can keep track 😆
Not Muay Thai proper, but on the western kickboxing side of things I always come back with a smile to Khalil knocking out Gohan. That dude came into MMA with all the hype and arrogance in the world and got his lights put out in seconds by a reality show competitor! As a martial arts fan it was glorious to see
Is there a link to the fight ?
Lerdsila has KO'd a lot of people with that lead leg teep feint to high kick
Buakaw Banchamek is such a treat to watch. Definitely my favorite Muay Thai fighter
Are there any rules in MMA, that one cannot kick or knee their opponent, if or when their opponent is attempting to jump in for a take down?
Mma fighters losing in muay thai is like thai fighters losing in taekwondo
did you watch the whole vid mate
@@LawrenceKenshin yes, the whole video was summarized in the whole first minute though. It doesn't mean much for mma fighters to lose under a limited ruleset, its the same thing as muay thai fighters competing in k1, karate combat, taekwondo etc
@@mpforeverunlimited and it doesn't mean much for muay thai fighters to lose under k1 rules either lol. this vid isn't muay thai it's kickboxing featuring thais and mma fighters. they're different sports. your comparison is bogus though. there are plenty of MMA fighters who are dogshite at grappling and rely on rudimentary TDD and favorable matchups to keep the fights standing. lots of MMA fighters come from kickboxing, just because they practiced takedown defence for a year or two doesn't automatically make them better fighters than any given nak muay. talking about FoR dA sTrEeTz is pointless too because if you shoot a double leg on me i'll just shoot you for real lol. mma isn't the end all be all, it's a sport like muay thai and has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the rules just like muay thai.
@@Lerdzila never said it's the be all end all, just that the result is expected once someone with a wide skillset takes on a specialist in his specialty
Great video could you please do a breakdown of Ben Askren's unique footwork when he fought Jake Paul?
I watched Gracie 6:24 6:24 whip a champion mt fighter once in a private match .
The mt fighter was good but no match for Gracie who made him tap out.
Bro different form of martial arts have different rules so it is not to others form of martial arts.
In mma rules are different in mauy thai rules are different.
It depends on performer how to perform his form of martial arts in that situation.
Bro uptoad a video on which martial arts is effective in real life in street fight and in group fight.
According to him larkin MMA suck in real life in multiple opponent as well in weapon.
Spinning strikes are not allowed in Muay Thai?
0:50 yea till he fought Gabriel Varga
Any plan to do a kun khmer/pradal serey video? Cambodia needs some love too!
my favorite channel
Buakaw the best Muay Thai fighter in the world hands down
Wasn't Andre dida the guy who attacked chael sonnen from behind in TUF Brazil?
A bit short, should have done 3 individual episodes breaking down the rounds and movements in greater depth (edit) i learn best from in depth breakdowns slowmos and correctly executed language to master the shapes and motions of every attack, eg. I was bullied at school so I watched a load of slowmos of veitnamese fighters (I've forgotten their martial arts name) but the breakdown of their strikes in slow motion led to me shattering the jaw of said bully in 8 places with 3 strikes and earned myself 2 weeks isolation.. the wonderful bliss of not being harassed by my year group afterwards on threats of further brutality added with my death metal obsession made people think I was possessed by demons and lethal. also having a hard chin also helps after taking two haymakers from someone who thought they were hard to then deliver one elbow that shattered his mandible and then move into groundwork to finish them off, no regret, no sympathy. These guys made my life hell for abot a decade and I ruined them in 60 seconds and got left the fuck alone, moral of the story, stamp on bullies and eradicate their ability to eat and breathe properly and you can live a normal life the shame is there wasn't enough of this in early youtube so I happened upon it by chance now if you wanna learn from the best you just gotta watch k1 fighters in half speed to see all the decisions they make throughout the fight
Surprised you didn't include Rodtang Vs DJ
O.k. listen. You are forgetting one mayor fact. MMA fighters are MMA fighters. Of course they loose with kickboxing/muah thai rules. Now let them fight under MMA rules. It's the same as Usain bolt go for a swimming match against michael Phelps.
You cannot say thia is what happens when a MMA fighter fight a muah thai. Depends on the rules/sport
did you watch the vid
@@LawrenceKenshin I watch the video but your video title is misleading Muay Thai vs Mma it's should be MMA fighter fights in Muay Thai rules All of this covered fights is that MMA fighter take out their half their arsenal (the grappling) to fight against a fighter who master of this rules. You should look rodtang vs dj is the best example of Muay Thai vs Mma.
The whole point of MMA is standup combined with Grappling, hows it fair to tell them they can't use one of their biggest deciders, we cant dictate this unless we use back in the day MMA rules with one unending round and virtually no rules
Thai MT pros have way many hours of sparring than most fighters.
Yes..it's an excellent stand up game.. they dont spare on ground.
Hey, can someone share the name of the dude that fought the Korean zombie, he looks like an interesting fighter but I don't know how to write his name
Another reason to love Korean Zombie. Had that guy thinking "Kick" the whole way.
Any fighter who can adapt to new rules and hang in there is incredible. I can’t imagine being punched by a pro and still play by new rules.
That is not mma fight that stand fight so muay thai fighter has advantage overthere... fight real mma fight see if the muay thai fighter can handle takedown...
Your breakdowns, astute input, and style of explanation are always exemplary. Btw, I knew about you before Rogan mentioned you. You remind us why Muay Thai deserves more respect.
Edit - per MMA vs Muay Thai I trust in the old saying that styles makes fights. A conventional stand-up MMA fighter will have issues vs a constant leg kick used as a jab. Also, if a clinch is initiated then the barrage of knees and elbows will neutralize the overhands that MMA fighter rely upon (far too much in my opinion).
Having said that, a pure wrestler would eventually get the take down and smother a Muay Thai fighter. Styles make and ultimately decide fights.
thanks so much for being here for so long!!
@@LawrenceKenshin I remember when you hadn't started using voice overs. Love the channel
@@phliuy same here, totally didn't expect his accent and total grasp of proper English. Then again I am an American...what do I know about proper English?
Epic video 👍👍
Nak muay win in their rule!
MMA fighters win in their rule!
nothing against Muay Thai but fighters from both background earn their credit and heart! If you want to know MMA vs Muay Thai, I would watch rodtang vs Dj
5:40 is just epic beyond comprehension
Muay Thai figthers don't know ground. But if they do ground some years, they can fight MMA very well. Look at Yodkaikaew, or Dejdamrong, for example
please video on rodtang vs dj fight, how mma can dominate on any style of fighting if take downs are allowed. make sanda vs muay thai fights video in which take down were allowed. in this video these were more kickboxing matches rather than mma fights
MMA has both striking and submission. Ofc it will beat Muay thai as mucu as it beats Wrestling and BJJ and so on. However a pure striker has a higher chance to beat MMA more thab a pure grappler does.
"MMA fighters in Muay Thai" would be a fairer title
Buakaw is the greatest
Let's be honest Muay Thai fighter will absolutely annihilate MMA fighters
They are different, we shouldn’t compare these sports
Mma fights usually end up on the ground. I love muay Tai but if the fight was allowed to go tho the ground most if them don't have an answer. Not all but most.
The way to go no mercy.👌🏼
I hate these type of videos. It favors the martial arts rather than the fight IQ of the fighter. Lerdsila has hundreds of Muay Thai fights. His experience and fight IQ is years ahead of the MMA fighter. The wins that MMA fighters accrue doesn’t translate to be an elite striker because those wins can come from submission. If prime Conor McGregor did a Muay Thai, that would be interesting fight to watch because most of his MMA wins came from striking.
This is just Muay Thai fighter vs MMA Fighter in Muay Thai Ruleset. The MMA fighter got so much restriction. You put the Muay Thai fighter in a MMA match he will get submitted by MMA fighter with Black Belt in BJJ.
Wait... spinning punch not allowed in muay tai... what ?
We're is the breakdown showing the muay Thai guys fighting in mma .
I don't understand why the spinning backfist was not allowed, as spinning elbows are a staple in Muay Thai. He just got too cocky and was hit because he had no guard up, something he would not normally do.
as simple as this, put them to fight with mma rules and mma guys will win, put them to fight with muay thai rules and muai thay guys will win, its like that.
If you truly wanna see MMA VS Muay Thai then check out Rodtang vs DJ (Second Round Fight).
Vamos! 🤜🤛
which style would be best for defending yourself against someone like bill cosby or harvy weinstein
The art of being an adult grown male
lol
Lawyer - uptsu is the penultimate martial art.
NOT drunken boxing
Slow jogging
Ok now let muay thai fighters fight Mma guys in cages with MMA rules.
สาเหตุที่มวยไทยไม่อยากชก mma เพราะว่ามวยไทยไม่ใช่มวยนอนสู้ มวยไทยจะละอายใจถ้าหากคุณไม่หยุดสู้เมื่อคู่ต่อสู้ล้มลง คนไทยสอนกันว่าคนล้มห้ามซ้ำ มันผิดเจตนารมณ์ของบรรพบุรุษ แต่ถ้าพวกคุณต้องการเราจะพยายามเรียนรู้การนอนสู้ให้มากกว่านี้
We have traditional muay thai style.pls make some open rules tournament.
I was hoping you'd mention Rodtang vs DJ
Buakaw the best Thai fighter in the world! For me he is GOAT!
MMA vs Muay Thai? Nah. No contest. There's a reason why nearly every MMA fighter at least dabbles in Muay Thai. Excluding individual fighters, Muay is absolutely lethal at its intended applications. Unless you're skilled enough to get a takedown immediately, it's just a matter of time before you're picked apart.
As always though, these fights aren't an accurate representation of the efficacy of one vs another. As the last fight showed, when there's rules involved, it'll hinder one or the other somehow, sooner or later. The same way I'd prefer a soldier over a sports fighter if killing is on the table, is the same way of pick a fighting style- based on the arena its being used in. I'm not going to necessarily pick a soldier in a prize fight, because rules will prevent a soldier from maximum efficacy.
If we only had a legit Mortal Kombat tournament. Then we'd see who is really the best.
Bro i don't see a point them fighting a muay thai rules and rings.its advantage for thai fighters.mix some rules in-between mma and muay thai and then we can talk who and witch is better...until then I don't see a point for mma fighters doing that to themselves exept a very big check
You cant compare if the rules are good for one of styles,to compare them needs no rules or Mma rules at least
If it is mma striking vs muay thai or kickboxing then I'm going with the muay thai fighter or the kickboxer. MMA striking has a long way to go
try those matches under mma rules...
It’s like a shark vs eagle thing. Each one is dangerous in their element but food out of it.
DAMN Wilson's "crossover question mark kick" was the best one I've ever seen! 🦵
100:0 Thai champion against 7:3 MMA in a Thai match ? lol wtf !
i know haha
@@LawrenceKenshin Great edits btw, you should be top notch journalist with 7 figure salary
Rodtang vs DJ could have been on this list aswell
How bout just fight in a ring.. No rules..mma vs muay Thai vs kickboxing, who would win...
In most of the clips where the MMA guy catches Muay Thai guy, the MT guy was being cocky.
