FIGHT BREAKDOWN: Brutal left kick plus left elbow KO

By EVOLVE MMA - July 5, 2017

Every fight starts out on the feet. It doesn’t matter how good a fighter’s ground game is. Whenever that bell rings and the referee tells the fighters to touch gloves, they come out swinging. It’s the natural progression of things in a fight. Which makes Muay Thai so extremely important.

With a complete set of Muay Thai skills, anything is possible, ground game or not. And as the two guys in this video have proven, Muay Thai can be an absolute killer.

On December 9th, 2016 at Thailand’s famous Lumpinee Stadium, two guys with long names went to battle. It was Petdam Petchyindeeacademy (that’s not a typo) against Sing Paranchai.
