I am not a muay thai stylist but it doesn't take a genius to see his footwork and movement has NOTHING to do with Muay Thai. In fact it's the total opposite of MT. He just picked that as his sport for full contact stand-up.

Based on your guys experience and observations, what is Ganes actual style? (besides Snake Fist) Is it Savate?

No bruh you're wrong , you are a genius, one of the cleverest sherdogers, fo sho.
I trained muay thai 10 years and also compete in it ( amateur) , and to tell you , we all fight the same, from asia to eu to usa , all muay thai is the same, all muay thai fighters are the same.
There never was a fighter who came with his own style in his fighting style.

Obviously people make their own adjustments but theres nothing left of MT in his style, he's freestyling or something. Never even seen a thai clinch from him.

His snake fist is very good but we all know his mastery of that.
 
Can we get an intermission from @Intermission
And your Gane/Tom threads?

Tom is the blind lineal retired undisputed champion and Gane is practically using Krav Maga and calling it Muay Thai.

Your boy got to keep his belt, you can enjoy this space/time and take the weekend off.

Make some 8 sec. kick tutorials
 
MT is all about blocking which results in the attacker getting hurt and hitting back, this is pretty much the base they teach in all MT schools.

Then people obviously use their own style, Gane to be fair looks nothing like a MT fighter. More like savate/kick boxing fusion of some sort, he also has quite a sideways stance which is not very MT at all

Imo only thais use "struckly muay thai" and even among top tais, you have ones who use footwork, boxing, crazy tae kwon do like kicks...
Eu muay thai was always more like loe kick + boxing.
In the end you use what works for u. My buddy is 12 cm bigger than me, we both train muay thai, we fight completely diffrent. I tend to box way more, and move in and out, while he is more tradition muay thai, waiting with teeps , knees and clinch game.
I dont know much about Gane before ufc, but its possible to compete in muay thai, without even training it. And ofcourse he is not competing in muay thai for what 5-7 years now? Ofcourse you envolve your style, with Gane probably not wonna go into clinch- takedown situation.
 
He adapted his stance and his style to MMA.

I live in Thailand and been doing this forever. There is no 1 Muay Thai fighter that can survive in an octogon with a traditional Muay Thai stance.

They gonna get taken down at ease. They legit gonna get beat up. It's too easy to shoot a double or even a single on a guy with traditional Muay Thai stance.

Cyril just adapted his style for MMA. Cyril is actually well-known in the south of Thailand and has friends out here that are actual Muay Thai champs. I hate the way people talk about Cyril as if he was nothing... he really is something out here. And dude is probably the nicest person you will ever see in your life.

Do you remember Matt Mitrione? Go look Matt Mitrione vs Derrick Lewis for example. Look the way he move... he remind me of Cyril ALOT.

Problem for Tom and hopefully he don't make the same mistake is he thought he would be able to strike with Cyril. Not a good idea mate.

Yeah I know they incorporate boxing and TKD these days but to my eyes he doesn't use anything from Muay thai aside from experience. I don't view him as a hybrid.


Even if somebidy throws spin kicks in a thai fight I would still easily see their Muay thai somewhere.

He's not wrong though, that sideways on hands down style is not really Muay Thai (based on the older martial art Muay Boran) even if you can use it in Muay Thai (the ruleset and popular sport from Thailand). The stance of Muay Thai is pretty distinctive and does not look anything like Gane's stance.

It is more savate/kickboxing, indeed.
 
Muay Thai style means you fight and competed in a ruleset of 5 rounds punches kicks knees elbows and full clinch. Weather you have fast footwork or you are boxing dominant or whatever.

Perhaps you hoped his style is Dragon Claw Frost Fire 🐲❄️🥋
