doesnt like the same weight!!

[NakMuayThai]

@bbcarallo Nor the same experience level. Fights are made to be competitive by combining weight, experience, age, and height by independent promoters.

[NakMuayThai]

Yes, that set it all up.

[NakMuayThai]

@gottawachit still, muay thai is about fighting and traditionally doesn't know weightclasses (fights are rarely balanced and "fair"...). MMA (esp. vale tudo) also used not to divide into weightclasses, in order to give people the opportunitiy to show skill is a better weapon than mass. I agree with you, that weight is a major advantage, but there are other factors. In Muay Thay i've seen loads of similar fights where bigger guys were without a chance because they were slower and less accurate...

@fatcat3211 It's called a "Mongkon". It's a traditional headpiece, blessed by buddhist monks. It's supposed to bring the fight luck in the fight.

What is that thing on his head?

@xXxEL1TExXx

physique is not a problem in fighting. look at fedor, and roy nelson. even bj penn doesnt look like a ripped unerwear model yet he is a destroyer of men. It really comes down to experience and how well your body is conditioned to fighting. If fighting had anything to do with physique, then kimbo slice would be one of the top heavy weights, but he isnt, he couldnt cut it in the ufc or strike force.

gaaadang i would never start a fight with that dude

[veothrax]

Low kick, faint, sman punch. Nice combo man

[gottawachit]

@NakMuayThai I dont know, experience dont mean much if that person sucked or is weight disadvantaged or is malnourished. For example: Jason Guida, an mma fighter who has a record (experience) of 18 - 26, 44 fights in total, but he still gets his ass kicked by guys with half his experience. Another example would be a 155 pounder vs a 165 pounder, where the 165 pounder has more muscle mass, more power. You can also fatigue faster is not properly nourished as well. But props for the W, a win is W.
