Khalil Going Full Thai at Ceremonial Weigh-In

[Leonard Haid]

1. The Wai (ไหว้), the ubiquitous Thai gesture, the heart and soul gesture of Thai culture.
2. A Phra Khun Phaen (พระขุนแผน), or Buddha-image amulet, often worn as a necklace.
3. The Mongkol (มงคล)
4. The Pha Khao Ma (ผ้าขาวม้า) , one of the most traditional Thai cloths, worn all over Thailand.

Khalil looks dialed in.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Ready for a stand up war. Good to see.

No Pra Jiad tho? So not full Thai?
Edit:

Also…

Would laugh so much if he comes in throws zero strikes and just spams take downs.

Khaliladamedov.

That's cultural appropriation!

I noticed that too. Good observation. Maybe because it's something you only wear in the ring? Or maybe it just didn't occur to him. Let's see if he wears one tonight. And let's see if his walkout music is Muay Thai music.

 

[Final Say]

Bangkok ready.

Only if the people from that culture would be affronted. I assure you though, Thais would be VERY pleased to see Khalil doing this. It's flattering to them. It's not just a costume to him; he's a legit Muay Thai slash MMA warrior, trained in Thailand.

Good for Rountree. I hope he makes it a fight. Hopefully the fight is good enough one way or another that it warrants a rematch. Leaving that Russian goon with a HORRIBLE fight IQ, who can't fight in the US and tries to get everyone to fight him in the Middle East even further out in to the future for a title shot.

Imagine that happens and Pereira instantly times him with a knee.

 

[Trupsi]

Ready to see him doing the Wai Kru in the octogon.

"Oh no you di-int!!"

 

[Poirierfan]

It's appropriate for Halloween I suppose.

 

[Snake989]

Hopefully he be working on checking leg kicks

Sometimes I dress up as Bruce Buffer.

Not at halloween or anything.

Just when I want to spice things up in the bedroom.

Wouldn't mind seeing Khalil in One Championship Muay Thai after Alex KOs him

He's fast and explosive, Khalil could probably do damage. Are there even many Muay Thai guys his size though?

 

[NoSmilez]

I will die laughing if he has people carrying the picture of the king when he does his walkout.
