Weili Zhang sparring the GOAT

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

Who is that guy and what business does he have training with Saenchai? How much did he pay to do this?

He owns Muay Thai Guy and is a prominent advocate for the sport on Youtube. A journeyman with about 2 dozen pro fights, but he's one of the more popular western MT channels based in Thailand. People like him and Sylvie von Douglas were pioneers at accessing the MT legends of yesteryear for modern American audiences.

Nowadays the bigger Thai gyms have Western employees to facilitate communication through the language barrier, but there was a time when it was difficult to access.

This dude is on a 53 fight winning streak in Muy Thai

He has only been stopped once in 345 fights, 24 years ago

He's too inactive for sherdog to become fans.

It's all fun & games until he runs into The Emperor
Namsaknoi isn't nearly as well known but he's one of the best technicians of the modern age.

2 of the best although Namsaknoi definitely had a size and reach advantage over Seanchai.

Thanks. Makes sense. Is there a market these days for westerners to get "pro fights" in Thailand?

ha, there's an entire meme about "tuk tuk drivers" that get paid to lose against Westerners living out their muay thai fantasies in Thailand.

I suspected as much. It's been more than 10 years since I was active in MT.

To get to watch Saenchai work is an honour for me. He is an actual living legend. A true master.
