“I can be the hero to my own story.”
Unlike Thai fighters for whom fighting is a way out of poverty, Sean Fagan of Muay Thai Guy didn’t need to fight for a living. He fought because he wanted to confront and overcome his own fears.
After a successful amateur career and building a strong online presence as the Muay Thai Guy, Sean decided to ride on the momentum and turn pro. But his journey as a pro didn’t quite work out the way he had envisioned.
He got knocked down 3 times in the first round in his first pro fight, and lost via TKO. He would lose his next 2 professional fights as well.
Enter self doubt: How can he still call himself the Muay Thai Guy and be 0-3? Should he just quit the fight life completely? Online haters and trollers add salt to the wound.
Listen to Sean’s story about how he dug deep to find the courage to face his doubts and fears. Perhaps it will inspire you to become the hero to your own story too.
Stay tuned for the full documentary.

Thanks so much for the feature man! It was a ton of fun and very emotional going through my career so far. Hopefully people can draw inspiration from my experiences inside and outside the ring!
Sean Fagan great stuff, guys. Really good story to share with everyone. Btw, did you know even Gökhan Saki apparently lost his first couple of fights too!? Perseverance is everything. You’ve come a long way with so much success especially out of the ring. Bravo. You’re an inspiration, mate😎👊🏽💯
The fact that you failed, got back up and continued with everything you had only made you more worthy of the name May Thai Guy. Keep it up man.
he talks about failure in the full doc, in that failure is when you give up and stop. he never did that!
I appreciate the love man!
this man beat the ultimate opponent. himself. Sir you're a warrior.
I like Sean. he's really about the path. he post his wins and his losses, the process, the preparation. I wish him good fortune.
he's authentic!
Sean is legit. Has a really good channel on TH-cam for those not aware
Cheers
I respect you far more Sean Fagan, for losing and yet having the strength to come back each time. It paid off in the end.
This is motivating for me. Thank you.
I've been following Sean for a while and even went on his podcast lol...but didn't know about his rocky start. I love you even more Sean!!!! Thank you for the inspiration. See you back in Thailand brother :)
Been following Sean for a number of years , he's legit and inspirational as they come. Huge fan
he's a great guy
I've followed Sean on you tube for sometime now.he's an inspiration for sure
big inspo
Love this guy's channel very knowledgeable about MT. I saw him fight and despite getting dropped several times he still kept pushing forward and showed a lot of heart. Good fighter
Sean is a cool guy, very real and honest, no bullshit. Been following him a while and he has inspired me to push myself harder in sparring and fighting. It all scared the hell out of me when I started, still does in many ways but having guys like this out there talking openly really helps.
That means a lot to hear, thanks so much for the support!
Much love
Thanks to both of you for the replies and the help, inspiration, and entertainment you provide so many of us!
I knew about him, even I'm following him on Instagram. Now I have way more respect to him. Is inspiring to hear his story, thanks for sharing this 🙏🏼
Dude I fucking love this guy. Hes a great fighter and seems all around humble and down to earth.
These doc series are the best. They just want to make me fight even more!
"What the fuck is that?!" Awh man I'm sure a lot of people in fighting who are in relationships can surely relate to that, true love for each other and for the NAK MUAY way of life. Made me tear up.
You know somehow I wake up in the morning and see that you posted. And I always go there’s no way he’s gonna just blow my mind with an unexpected video again. Then you do! Keep up the awesome videos man.
Hahahah thank u bro got so many coming
Tons of respect to Sean, definitely draw inspiration from him.
This is way better than I expected it to be. Thank you!
Sean is a great role model and I absolutely love his channel. His workouts are excellent!!
Better to face your fears than to fear your face.
hahah what
This is super inspiring! Thank you
Sean is superb! Your docu is the best!
Thanks for the story it really touched me thank you
Great interview
Inspiring
Thank you very much
Cheers
Great mini doco...thanks and kudos to the muay thai guy.
cheers stay tuned for the full vid
I really want to do muay thai but I'm 18 and just got a job and focusing on my courses happening soon, theres so much going on. Theres something about muay thai, whenever I watch combat sports nothing makes me feel the way muay thai makes me feel, I love ufc and boxing but I'd choose muay thai over that anyday. I swear my ancestors are thai 😂😂 cause damn the way it makes me feel when I watch muay thai, i dont know what it is, the clinching, knees, elbows, kicks, they make me face look like this-😍. I will start muay thai soon, soon I'll get my shit straight and balance my time
GREAT! message, Thank You. Many embedded messages.
U r the boss .. hats off man !
Great video, Lawrence. Sean Fagan puts out some of the best Muay Thai instructional videos on TH-cam and I'm a longtime subscriber of his. It's great to hear his story and this combined with your previous video of Ajarn Gae truly showcases the never say die mentality of Muay Thai fighters. Great job, again. #muaythai #4LIFE
cheers bro, thanks for the supporting!
thank you
Love it dude
Inspirational
Great video my brother 👊
I watch this guys channel, Lawremce covering him is really nice. You got a big heart Lawrence.
He's a great guy
Very nice well in man
Hits the heart....... Respect........
I never made it pro as a kickboxer, i still carry that disappointment In myself but, now my son is training & almost like a second chance. The best part about it is he wants to be a kickboxer at a young age. Thank you for striving and all that you do!!!!
One of the best parts of fatherhood isn't it
@@LawrenceKenshin It is brotha!!!!
@@rob915lujan2 cheers
Awesome
Lawrence what is the beautiful music at the end of your vids called? I find it really soothing and would love to get a longer version of it!
I just pre-ordered your book!
Plesde do more Inspiring storys! I really love seeing it, can you do it with Buakaw?? I just wanted to know, how hard does he have to get to be the K-1 Monster
Because I love martial arts
Thankyou
Cheers
This year I will probably have my first fight. To know that losing first fight isn't end of the world is good.
You should check out Mohsen Mohammad Seifi he’s an incredibly talented Sanda fighter with great striking and grappling... if he chose to I think he’d do very well in MMA or even kickboxing
Tevin Farmer "Never Too Late", once was 7 - 4 - 1 and became former IBF Super Featherweight World Champion with 4 successful title defenses while also being shot and robbed in 2017.
Sean is great! I use his heavy bag work outs all the time. But why does he say 'Like' so much?
My first kickboxing fight is about to take place in my home town, wish me luck!
Wow, superficially, I percieved him as fearless and dominating every fight. Now I see what a true hero he is by admitting that he is afraid and admitting his own vulnerabilities. Just like Georges St Pierre, these guys admit being afraid yet they face it; win or lose.
I have my 2nd MMA fight in two days. I needed this video. Thank you . Ooss.
Even Mike Tyson was terrified before he got in the ring, to the point that he would be throwing up and trying to make up excuses not to fight. Finding that out blew my mind but helped me feel less out of place with my own fear. Good luck with your fight, own that fear and turn it into good energy!
Good luck brother. I’d recommend watching cus damato - fear video. He talks about how fear can help you
how do I overcome fear, next week I fight muay thai for the first time, I can't sleep thinking about it
I can’t take a punch and am afraid to fight but I still want to fight in the ring one day
Oos! 🤘😇🙏
Oss
My boxing coach lost his first 13 fights as an amateur then won 10 fight before turning pro
Post and forget.... do not dwell in the comment section of social media
Don’t do it for the sake of it, it’s a second nature or nothing @ all 🤙🏾
🤔
??
👍👍👍🇩🇪
🙏
What happened to Sean? Hasn't uploaded in a min
busy training and doing business
@@LawrenceKenshin ah that's cool 🤙
Cheers
Lawrence Kenshin that’s really good to hear. I was concerned he had a bad injury.
@@commonsense5401 Nope just been super busy with a number other things. I'll be back at it eventually
I am already my own hero
great
moi même you’re now also mine
How the fuck can you be teaching people shit with a record of 0 and 3? It's an embarrassment that social media marketing is taking the place of actual skill and experience.
Hahahaha
??
Lawrence Kenshin You should do a doc on Craig, he’s a beast of a fighter , tough and technical.
