Martial Arts Odyssey: Thirteen Coins (Part 1)

Antonio Graceffo travels to 13 Coins Resort, on the outskirts of Bangkok to meet two of Thailands most legendary fighters: Orono, a former champion whose speed and style are reminiscent of his hero Muhammad Ali, and Saenchai a current phenomenon who uses Pele style bicycle kicks and flips to knock out his opponents. Because odds makers cant get anyone to bet against Saenchai promoters have had to come up with all sorts of gimmicks just to get him fights, such as fighting larger opponents or fighting two opponents in the same night.
