Muay Thai vs. Kickboxing: The Clash That Shook MMA

[@mv8137]

Loved this fight so much. No disrespect to Rick, but he underestimated one of his opponent's most deadly techniques. Also, those commentators had no idea what this man was going through. Leg kicks can end fights & careers

[@jskyg68]

So can head and body kicks🙂 Bas Rutten comes to mind.

[@maineysarttolife2864]

Dirty stomp they mentioned but when Rick tried kick him in head whilst a few inched from the floor it was fine....

[@MaroonedInDub]

Yes I saw it.

[@lucadelpinto3524]

Just with low kick... Now imagine if the bout was really going to be Muay Thai vs Kickboxing.

So the Thai boxer won having rules, not allowing him to use all of his arson. I know this is an old video and we've all learned that leg kicks are lethal. So much the American kickboxer has had a change of heart about leg kicks. From results of first-hand experience. This having been a handicap match in favor of the American kickboxer. I would say that if they were allowed to fight with zero restrictions. The Thai Boxer may have won in the first round. American kickboxer, punches and kicks. 2 weapons. Thai Boxer, punches, kicks, knees, elbows. 10 weapons. Yeah, this was so not fare for the Thai boxer. American - yeah, come fight me. I'll kick your ass Thai boxer. But you can only bring 2 weapons to our fight.😅🤣😂 It should have been agreed upon. That after this fight, win or lose. Another fight were the Thai boxer could fight with all Thai boxing rules / weapons.

Japanese kickboxers and Dutch kickboxers are knocking out Thai men since the 60's by Face Punching and using Kyokushin low kick 😝😍😝😝😝😝😝😝😜😜😜🤪🤪🤪🤪😝😝😝😝😝😝😝🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@Gok-Han1983]

And so the movie Kickboxer was made

[@MaroonedInDub]

Two different sports. Like soccer and rugby. This fight and it's recordings have done a great deal for recognitition of Muay Thai. Many successful MMA fighters are skilled in Muay Thai. Rick Rufus is a hero for helping this.

Rick then became a great leg kicker in his own right. Him and his brother producing/produced a lot of good students

[@mountainadventures7346]
