Xyon Quinn: How WWE saved former NRL player Daniel Vidot
Ex-NRL flyer Daniel Vidot was living what many would consider a dream, yet drowning his sorrows and wearing a mask. Now, as a WWE entertainer, he’s finally comfortable in his own skin. Former NRL star Daniel Vidot has vivid memories of the first time he ever hit a WWE wrestling mat. It wasn’t pretty. He’d been battered and bruised plenty of times over his 114 NRL game career, but nothing could quite prepare him for that first fall onto the canvas.
Liam Harrison: Finding Low Kicks
Few countries can claim to be truly ‘great’ at Muay Thai. France historically has been the best country outside of Thailand when it comes to Muay Thai – but this is probably due to fighters like Rafi Bohic who live and train on a camp in Thailand – the same way that boxers from Thailand do, as opposed to an inherently superior training system. The UK has overall been a perfectly respectable place for Thai Boxing. No country is close to Thailand, but Britain has been modestly successful.
Open Weight Contests | What Really is Pound for Pound?
Pound for pound. It’s a term that is thrown out in combat sports. Conventional wisdom was that the heavyweight championship in boxing was the highest prize in all of the sport. A notion that is now, antiquated and kind of silly, as the heavyweight divisions of boxing, kickboxing and MMA are easily the weakest divisions in terms of competition and skill.
Toshio Fujiwara & The Invention of Kickboxing
Toshio Fujiwara. A name a lot of fight fans aren’t going to know. After all being a Japanese Champion in a niche sport from 50 years ago isn’t exactly priming you for fame. Fujiwara however is an important figure in a formative time in combat sports. Toshio Fujiwara was not only the first foreigner to win the Rajadamnern Championship in Muay Thai, but he was present for the very creation of kickboxing as a sport itself.
Giorgio Petrosyan: Being Untouchable
The greatest kickboxer who ever lived, goes by the moniker ‘The Doctor’. Perhaps it’s because of his surgical precision, alternatively it might be because Giorgio Petrosyan is the only kickboxer I can think of, who fights as though he has a PHD in the subject. Giorgio Petrosyan has achieved something unprecedented in combat sports. At the time of writing Giorgio boasts 111 career fights, 104 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws and 2 no contests.
Matt Brown | The Best Muay Thai in MMA
Matt Brown is something of an unsung hero in MMA. The Immortal One has his fans, but history will likely remember him as a fight-fans-fighter. There probably won’t be movies and books made about him, but Grandad’s will be pulling out footage of him to show the next generation of fighters. The early career of Brown can best be described as, awkward. He was rarely in a dull fight, but his fights were ugly.
Alex Pereira | Adjusting Kickboxing for MMA
UFC 268 saw the debut of kickboxing star Alex Pereira. My first exposure to Pereira was his losing effort in Last Man Standing, an eight-man tournament held by Glory in 2014. Glory was fresh and new, and the tournament proved to be one of the organizations crowning achievements. Alex Pereira was a young upstart from Brazil, which was then, and still is, slightly unusual in kickboxing.
