Fight 174 – Sylvie Petchrungruang vs Nong Mat Huasarayiam

February 10, 2017 – Pak Thong Chai  full fight video here with commentary Nong Mat was not the opponent I was expecting when I arrived at the temple in Pak Thong Chai. I’d been told by the promoter that it was a rematch against an opponent I’d defeated a few months back, on his card also, and that there was a side bet. But when I got there the name on the card was different, which is usually – usually – indicative of there having been a switch. When I located the promoter and asked him he laughed and said the other

One Hundred and Twenty-First Fight – Jomkwan Sit Tongsak

August 5, 2015 – Suranaree Stadium in Khorat – full fight video above I’d been offered this fight by the guy Pi Nu calls “Small Man.” His name is Piak and he’s the father of the only other female champion out of Petchrungruang, Phetnamning – she no longer fights. I like him a lot and I’ve gone with him to fights in this area of Thailand before, but he’s a bit tricky to work with because he won’t do my pre-fight massage. This is simply him being polite because I’m a woman and he’s a man, so he’ll get his

One Hundred and Ninth Fight – Lookget Payalampong

(above) parts 1 and 2, full video March 8, 2015 – Khorat, Thailand This fight is dedicated to the Golden Horse Monastery, to all the people who have supported me in all different ways, and especially to Master K – who gave me my Muay Thai heart. Kevin, Robyn, Jai Dee and I get out of the car and start walking toward the entrance to the temple festival.  The bright neon rods of light cast a cold light over the walkway and indicate the path forward.  “Be prepared to be the only non-Thais here,” I say to Robyn and she

Eighty-Fifth Fight – Phetseengern Gor. Adtison

Suranaree Stadium, Korat – Sept. 15th, 2014 (46 kg) – full fight video above This fight was sponsored by Wing Wong – thank you! Khorat This was my first time in Korat.  I think we drove through it on our way to Buriram last month, but actually staying in the capital city of Nakhon Ratchasima allowed us to actually experience the area.  I love Korat.  We stayed just outside the city in a small resort that was along the main highway but basically surrounded by fields.  It was hard finding a place that would permit a dog to stay on

Thirty-Eighth Fight – Nong Ying Phettonphung

Finding the Fight I arrived at training on Monday morning after my last fight and noticed my name on the fighters’ schedule already had a new date next to it: 3/8/2013.  That would be exactly one week since my last fight and I hadn’t even bothered Den about it, which made me really happy because it demonstrates his recognition of my wanting to (and being able to) fight frequently.  I was pretty stoked. That afternoon the promoter showed up and took photos of a German guy who was slated to fight, Aryeh from China and JR – who were both
