But Muay Thai DIDN'T do much better than TMA's.
and in those, there were like two thai boxers. there were more tma guys. So, overall, who was the biggest loser? Then mo showed the effectiveness of thai leg kicks and everyone flocked to it. Once again, overall, who is the biggest loser?
I'm not a TMA hater either - I started in TMA. but in this venue, muay thai and grappling are the dominant combination for a reason, obviously.
