Farid Villaume vs. Yodsanklai Fairtex II (Pt.1)

[aronvdberg]

i would love to see yod vs petrosyan

[armjamal]

no elbow? and yet u called it MT...hahahahha! coward one!!

[CockyR4]

Fairtex, he has the last name of my gloves brand.

Oh wait.

[colourblind3213]

Yodsaenklai, should be nick named, Mr Tree Trunk Legs.

[dirtbagwhitetrash]

What is up with Yod's build most Thai fighters from Thailand are really lanky but Yod moves up to 76kg (167.2 lbs) to fight at 5'7" (167.5cm) the man is built like a tank. With legs that big no wonder is round kicks are devastating. He can probably squat 600lbs (273kg).

[danipe]

fight starts at 2:32

[BadMonkeyFightShop]

uhhhhhh and why are elbows not allowed in this fight? You fight Yodsanklai to prove you are the best by beating the best. Why use the once-in-a-lifetime chance to fight the best Muay Thai fighter with kickboxing rules?

[dumda55]

[voodoo9606]

[Bibilezoive]

No Elbow.... wtf

[doctorsizzle]

contrary to many american's ignorance and prejudice of france...they've got a vibrant fighting culture. savate, boxing, muythai...you name it they're doing it.

your common crazy whiteboy fighter will get his ass deleted by a damned 'frenchie'.

[mmask8r]

k first of all its every european that talks down about americans, so get ur facts straight, n to be honest i play with french people online on RFOM, and im awhite muay thai fighter and i dnt run in at all, im like chuck liddell i counter, so just please think befor u talk about whites.

[doctorsizzle]

thanks for the reply...

every european huh...wonder why they have a horrible POV about americans...since we're so well informed, classy, and polite. since we travel the world and respect other countries' rules and culture. since we ALWAYS do this...yes, i could understand that there is clearly NO REASON for others to be critical about AMERICANS. ... yet we have every reason to criticize others?

which chuck? the one at pride? or the one after rashad?

i don't talk b4 giving it thought.

[Yesorknow]

French people are white......

[davidebro]

@Yesorknow you're right!!

[Yesorknow]

Do france even have a martial art of there own??

[doctorsizzle]

[apisitzero]

laa la la la laah

[TheMrKlaratu]

lol

[MIGHTYmiracleworker]

saenchai, anuwak and yodsaenklai are the best muay thai fighters in the world.

[Eshton1992]

You forgot Buakaw man (:

[Eshton1992]

And Ramon Dekkers.

[BoyeeMike]

@MIGHTYmiracleworker Anuwak isn't very a top muay in my opinion. He's good though, just not one of the best.

[SensiRiddler]

@BoyeeMike a couple of years ago anuwat was unrivaled in thailand so eventually he became sloppy... He still is the hardest puncher in thailand...

[yedkheykh]

@MIGHTYmiracleworker wait where is Buakaw and attachai

[snappadandappa]

@MIGHTYmiracleworker buakaw

[BF703]

[BF703]

@snappadandappa what the fuck are you talking about?? im american stupid! please get a life.

[MuayThaiViking]

@MIGHTYmiracleworker anuwat?? no.. he is really not that technical compared to other thais. sayiok is the current 70kg lumpini champion, its safe to say he is one of the absolute best

[nekftw]

yodsaenklais feet are 2x as thick....these legs are tree trunks ...very scary..

i want to see more heavyweight thais fighting...its a shame there is not much of a scene for it in thailand because people tend to be light.

[PizzaIP]

the frenchie is weak

[mmask8r]

no ur weak for talking down on another country, u give americans a bad name asshole

[SithiLookThai]

France are good at fighting at full muay thai system , you dont't believe me ??

try to fight them there are good fighters

[HenryHoover81]

Isn't that Rafik from The Contender Asia? - in Yodsanklai's corner

[bo0mk1d]

holy sh*t good spot mate!! haha

[statuebr0]

the french are shit at muay thai

[manggon88]

that french guy look goofy lol but hell probably knock me out if i said it to him lol

[ONEnONLYBRiAN]

not only won contender.. lumpinee champx2 or 3?

wbc world champion.

one of the best pound for pound fighters ever

[Moderm101]

isnt he the guy who wont contender asia?

[nornox]

the french guy is really skinny man

[Joepeterson2]

I bet yod can't even feel that guy kick him, his legs are super strong. yod is one bad ass dude

[torresjr]

labrat 55 doesnt know how to move his elbows that's way he feels fear about muay thai

[55labrat]

To think Muay Thai uses only eight limbs is coorect. But using elbow in competition only causes cut to oppenent and ended the fight too early. A fight without elbows are more enjoyable to watch then a Thai fighter going for a cut on oppenent head trying to win from it.

[jeff4704]

Say what you will, its not Muay Thai without elbows, otherwise its just kickboxing. No elbows, No Muay Thai

[MasterPreng]

kick boxing.. there's no low kick. Peace.

[jeff4704]

Its not Muay Thai without elbows. Muay Thai is use of fists, knees, elbows, and kicks. It is kickboxing without elbows. No one can claim to be a MT fighter if they are fighting without elbows.

[karabouzouklis]

i tottaly agree with you.

[malone204]

what a load of shit

[malone204]

@jeff4704 what a load of shit

[lorrenzopicozzi]

@jeff4704 ok I agree. But how to explain it to you...In europe we dont have that many good fighters..we try to keep them active. And also we agreed that elbow strikes are too dangerous and too lethal to be accepted in the sport. but Sometimes they do it also in europe. Any way if you are fighting a thai guy on home ground and you can make the rules. Maybe its a good idea to prohibit elbows, because if not...your fighter may get KOed really bad. Hometown makes the rules.

[lsiwankiw]

@jeff4704 nothing like kickboxing at all, even without elbows

[jagga857]

For being french I can tell you that on the professional level, elbows as allowed when both parties agree to it, obviously I see no reason why Wod would not have agreed to elbows, so i'm assuming that Farid is the one who refused to use the elbows...Oh well the result is the same, he got knocked out and Yod is the better fighter so...And by the way, no Muay Thai without elbows, otherwise call it Kick Boxing or whatever you want but certainly not Muay Thai. Personally, Farid fought poorly here.

[nekftw]

its not a matter of fear, in some countries ellbows are not allowed, its as simple as that

[klemwaddle]

same thing for 7 years  old kid who fight in thailand ,in europe kids can't fight with out protection .

in thailand it's normal ,because it's a way of life .

[goodnarit]

It is not allowed because of fear that it can hurt ... that is the thing, isn't it?

[stew86G]

I don't understand why they would arrange the fight with no elbows. I'm assuming Farid's camp called that, why call yourself a Muay Thai fighter if you're too afraid to fight with elbows? Nothing wrong with that just don't say you fight MT if you don't.

[TsunamiBomb]

Actually most Muay Thai rules matches are fought without elbows these days, outside of Thailand. There are a ton of MT techniques that are banned in the ring and always have been, not using elbows doesn't mean you're not a muay thai fighter.

[karabouzouklis]

there is not muay thai without elbows my friend.

[TsunamiBomb]

Yes there is, same way that Kyokushin is a style of karate but doesn't utilize any number of traditional fists to the head. I agree that if you strip away too many techniques it waters a style down, but just taking away elbows doesn't make it not a Muay Thai fight, or a Muay Thai fighters.

[karabouzouklis]

well the thais do not accept muay thai without elbows.if you take one thing then its something else.its as simple as that.i fought some years before a guy the rules was without elbows for me that wasnt a muay thai fight.if they are so afraid of elbows let them use the elbow protectors.

[TsunamiBomb]

Well I'm not the kind of person that thinks everything the Thais do is the right way to do things. Do you realize how many throws and holds are banned from judo competitions? Or Silat fights? I get real tired of hearing Thai sympathizers complain that the Thai fighter got "robbed" because they're too stubborn or shortsighted to adjust to different rules. Buakaw is a prime example. He started losing because people figured out his style and how to counter it, not because of some big conspiracy.

[karabouzouklis]

maybe he is loosing because he is not as thirsy for victory as he was in the past.dont forget that buakaw is a great fighter but in thailand he wasnt the BEST he is not a legend like samart sakmongol dieselnoi krongsak samkor etc.you cannot ban elbows in a muay thai fight because muay thai without elbows is not muay thai is something else...

[TsunamiBomb]

That's just not true at all. There's so much more to Muay Thai than included use of elbows. Yes, that is an essential part of the art, but banning them for safety's sake in a fight doesn't mean that it's not a Muay Thai fight, because the rules are still so different from standard kickboxing. You're thinking too much in black and white terms.

[karabouzouklis]

Muay Thai is referred to as "The Art of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A practitioner of Muay Thai ("nak muay") thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight "points of contact," as opposed to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.

[TsunamiBomb]

Look, everyone's real impressed with your ability to snatch information from Wiki, but you're doing Muay Thai an injustice if you think that taking away one set of strikes is enough to transform it into another type of fighting altogether. Muay Thai is more than just eight different striking agents; it's a way of training, a way of strategizing, little nuances that make it different. You could be right though, it is pretty one-dimensional, so maybe the lack of elbows does make it something else.

[karabouzouklis]

ok i assumed from what you said that your knowledge is a little limited so i refered to the most popular source.now if you go to my teachers grand master yodthong and grand master woody and you tell them about muay thai without elbows

[karabouzouklis]

they will tink''these farrangs are stupid''for last time you cannot ban elbows from a muay thai fight.even if you ban wai kru its not a muay thai fight.go to thailand and train there with the thais and then you will change your mind immetiadely.sawasdeekhap

[karabouzouklis]

i forgot the most important thing muay thai is a way of life respect is the most important thing.thats why wai kru is very important in a muay thai fight.sagat petchyindee used to wai kru for 30 minutes and once an opponent from his great wai kru feared to fight him.

[karabouzouklis]

i see that you are from the states master toddy is a great teacher i think his camp is in las vegas you can train there and ask him a few things.

[fikirankita]

I wish that yodsanklai can fight with buakaw...

[BiReal]

I remember i saw an interview with yodsanklai saying that he wish to fight and beat the superstar buakaw, i believe that would be a fantastic fight.. yod and saenchai is my favourits south paw 4 life;;P.

[JacksonB125]

yodsanklai is immense tbh like! Class fighter

[sinx10]

WTF?? 77 000 KG??

[tedwl]

[ZeLoneFang]

[sizzla123]

lol, a french ref, yod has no clue what hes mumbling at the start, neither do i.

ud think theyd get a translater in for yod.

[muaythai4ko]

he or other fighters get use to hearing it... doesn't matter where, it always gonna be "no elbow, no hit below belt... listen to me at all times, touch gloves.."

[sizzla123]

very true

[bonex24]

banned elbow! wtF@#$!

[similingun]

Hey look 1:18 to 1:20, is that the frenchie with big mouth and small heart?

[Nisp]

Lol... good eye. Yep thats Rafik for sure.

[wingangel78]

What's your problem with the french? look first at your monkey's face./

[similingun]

dude,i don have any problem wif e french. i love french toasts =D The "big mouth small heart" comment was actually made by Yodsanklai himself,not me.if ya dont believe,go watch Contender Asia dude n u will know why Yodsanklai said that xD

[MuayThaiViking]

haha i loved when yodsanklai said that. it was like the only thing he ever said in that program =D

and of course the french guy didnt have the balls to talk back. he knew how yodsanklai was in the ring

[efi65]

The cornere man?

[McrDrummmer]

French prick

[benzy199]

yodsanklais short are unreal...

[ardz07]

farid looks like sagat!

[TsLOw]

he looks khmer...by any chance, is he khmer surin?

[samranjing]

No mate!!! He is real Thai!!

You must be khmer?

[EurodanceStrong]

He's from northern Thailand so your're not even close lol

[TsLOw]

oh...wtf...someone gave me a negative...its just a question...lol

[pavlovedog]

Hmmm if Farid fought like that against Buakaw, whom he was scheduled to fight, he wouldn't have survived the first round... He needs to train back like he did in Thailand, he's kinda getting soft...

[Scottnguyen88]

If Yodsanklai fought like this against Raffik something like a year ago...it would have ended much quicker. Took plenty of hits to the face but wow his kicks were at the top of his game...

[Nsufera]

Wait...is that Rafik in Yod's corner? lol

[TooSpunky]

Yes, you're right.

[mjc369]

they should have put farrid in contender asia, not raffik the shit stirrer. would make for more interesting fights i think.

[Cairhien]

They asked Farid first. But he refused. So they took Rafik.

[mjc369]

ok cool, to be honest i cant see why any fighter wouldnt want to take part in this. surely it would get you so much mainstream publicity and give you an opportunity to fight some of the best in the world. if your a career fighter whats to loose?

[ardz07]

because hes not a fighter

[wijse]

hehe no elbows..

[FansOfK1]

Lovely, enjoying every second. Thanks once again TooSpunky!

[KhanomRay]

Wiffle ball bat (Farid) vs. Louisville Slugger (Yod)
