Telling guys the reality of fighting in Thailand

This post was originally published on this site.

I feel like almost all foreigner fights in Thailand (not the legit ones who get a tiger Muay Thai scholarship or something like that) but the one where the dude just records his journey to one fight are all bogus. I plan on training their to get my Muay Thai up, (I’m a pro fighter so they might take me more seriously) but I don’t feel like actually fighting there and hella people are saying I should. Either they pair me with a dude who is literally paid to take a dive, or some hardened killer who has been doing this since age 7 and he literally got a brick for Christmas as his only present when he was a kid since I don’t have formal Muay Thai specific experience. And to make matters worse, random goobers who go to the gym I train at for a trial class are literally just saying that they would wanna fight pro in Muay Thai in Thailand. I just wanna give all these wanna be Muay Thai influencers who think it’s paradise a reality check.

If you are planning on getting ur first pro fight and first ever Muay Thai fight in Thailand, just don’t. Train there, fight ammys in ur home country and then fight pros in ur home country. Unless you’re a seasoned fighter, it’s just not a good idea. There’s a whole mini industry catered to this thing where the foreigner pretty much always wins since the taxi driver takes a dive. Or they get seriously hurt or even killed. Fighting is no joke. Rants over but for anybody on this sub who wants to start from scratch and go pro in Thailand in a short time, it’s all a scam don’t do it.
