Sayanlek won last month over Denmechai Tedsababaansong at Rajadamnern Stadium and is pretty active in the Thai stadiums. Thairath TV is on channel 32 if you wish to view in Thailand.

Their shows have both Muay Thai and MMA fights, so action is plenty for all those that come to watch. Their Phoenix 2 show that’s taking place this Saturday on April 29 in Lebanon has even more names to please Muay Thai fans, including what many call the best P4P fighter Saenchai. No introduction for Saenchai is needed as he is one of the greatest technical masters of the sport. He will be facing Aziz Hlali from France.

The show features one female bout between Antonina Shevchenko and Isa Keskikangas for a WMC Title and Phoenix Title. Shevchenko is the sister of Valentina Shevchenko, rising UFC star.

WHAT IS MUAY THAI?

มวยไทย
Thai boxing
The art of eight limbs

No matter what you call it, this sport has changed lives.

Driven by economical means in Thailand, children from poorer regions of the country start training and fighting to help support their families.

This sport with humble beginnings has grown exponentially all over the world. Although most non-Thais do not fight as an economical means, their passion for the sport has helped pave the way for Muay Thai to become profitable on the international scene.
