[@RexDartEskimoSpy]

Lerdsila got caught and knocked down with a spinning backfist in a kickboxing match against Gabriel Varga a long time ago, but I don't think anyone has been able to catch him with one since then. Even in that fight he was able to immediately get up and convince the ref that it was just a slip, so he's tough in addition to being extremely hard to hit.

[@FightCommentary]

I'll have to check that one out. THanks for letting me know about this!

[@RexDartEskimoSpy]

@@FightCommentary I'm pretty sure Varga has it up on his channel and talks about the fight. I think it's available elsewhere too. It was interesting, because I think at that point Lerdsila had had over 100 fights, but I don't think he was as used to the sorts of things kickboxers might throw at him, or the sorts of things that judges were looking for when it came to scoring. It's been interesting to check back in on his fights and see how he's adjusted.

[@jacobpeters9919]

Being able to convince the official in that way is a skill in its own

Lerdsila is way pass his prime. That’s why he’s no longer fighting against grade A MuayThai fighter in Thailand anymore, since he still can see and read his opponents like a book , but his physique doesn’t allow those precise movements like when he was in his prime.

[@Slaphappy1975]

FYI, that's The Eel (ปลาไหล his Thai nickname) 43-year old Lerdsila, a multiple-time Muay Thai world champion and three-division Rajadamnern Stadium champion. His last professional fight was in 2021 and he ended his career with a 191-33-5 record. As someone else mentioned, this guy won 100 fights in a row. He's a legend.

Karate Combat is pretty much Karate only in name now. It’s pretty much just MMA standup now with a lot of MMA fighters and not just traditional martial arts background guys

[@jamiefield9506]

Mixed martial arts with an emphasis on stand-up pretty much sums up historical Karate.

[@timelesswarriors]

With the new boss, he’s bringing in mma guys and forming it as an MMA league. Before this new change, the requirements to join karate combat was to actually be a karateka and have competed in high level karate tournaments.

[@alexandrehuat773]

Karate competition is a set of rules, you practice the techniques as you like.

[@DanielBenavides-b5l]

Karate Combat should do a tourney style leading up to the main card. Also, even though they don't focus on the " Kata" in fight, it would be cool if they had the kata of the various styles represented in the tournament. The more exposure, the better off is what i think.

[@pichupuche2474]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="144">2:24</a> Even tho MT didn't practice ground game anymore since separate from Muay Boran but Lerdsila is a master of balance.

[@speedrob]

Muay Thai that allows throws, dumps and ground strikes (along with headbutts). Is Muay Boran. There is no need to hybrid Muay Thai with anything, its predecessor is Muay Boran. Muay Thai, originated for competition. Muay Boran was their militaristic style for anceint battlefield, along with Krabi-krabong. Unarmed and armed combat, for when you have no weapon, your body becomes one. E.g the teep, is a spear thrust motion, you bring the knee up verically and you drive your leg and foot like the spear and tip. 🙏 🥊

[@DouglasBuenoGomes]

Empi Waza the popular Elbows are now totally allowed in Karate Combat making the fights even more fun to watch.
