It's great to see in a straight Muay Thai match, but it's It's actually a little sad to watch under Glory rules. They get hit with so many combos and still want to play the Muay Thai "I'm not hurt" move , wait and pot shot game. You see them hitting pads at the same slow pace with low volume power shots like they would fight in a Muay Thai match.
Examples:
Pinto Bros
Sitmonchai
Various lower tier guys who are MT stylists (can't remember off the top of my head)
The European fighters eat them up with combos and aggression.
I think the only successful ones have been the higher level Thais with lots of fight experience/IQ (Sitthichai, Keaw, Petpanomrung -sort of-) Simon Marcus and Sanny Dahlbeck. But these guys obviously contemplated the type of fighting they were engaging in and adjusted.
