100 Muay Thai, boxing, and kickboxing fights. Six times world Muay Thai champion, five times European Muay Thai champion, very dominant UFC champion for three years. I know my legacy. They can say whatever they want to, but I'm huge.
Who inside MMA that's a champion goes to fight Muay Thai? Nobody. But I love competing.
I love every type of martial arts, but with Muay Thai in general, I want to see it being brought to the public more. There is no movie that has Muay Thai incorporated into it, so I want to bring that to the public.
My happiness is being able to present my talents for people to see, and I feel like I'm an ambassador of Thai history and Thai culture on film so that people can see Muay Thai.
We already have our history with Joanna in Muay Thai and we can start our history in MMA.
I've always had an interest in Muay Thai fighting. I love the discipline and toughness of it, so I traveled to Thailand to study ways to incorporate it into my style.
I do MMA so I will train for whatever it is. Recently I did jujitsu and strength training, but other days I will do kickboxing, muay thai. It's just a matter of what I have on the schedule. Some days I just do cardio for an hour. I am not a yoga person. Whatever I do, it has to be extreme. I like higher-intensity workouts.
I trained in kick-boxing and Muay Thai.
I like to train in my Muay Thai gym that I co-own.
Holly Holm was a boxer for a long time, and Leslie Smith comes from muay thai. It's different. Holly is more defensive, while Leslie comes forward.
I've done some Muay Thai training just for fun.
When I was competing in Muay Thai I used to fight every month.
I practiced everything, from my BJJ to wrestling, judo and Muay Thai.
I love the idea of going to work and having to fight and learn a new skill set, whether it's muay Thai or Kali or Filipino stick fighting. To me, it's like college for life.
I've really taken a lot of time to work on my Karate, worked on my kickboxing, and Muay Thai.
I got into Taekwondo when I was nine, and I started training Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu later in life.
