Its all about the discussion On Lion Fight 23 Muay Thai
Join Bloody Elbow for a stacked night of Muay Thai action, as Lion Fight returns with Lion Fight 23 – July 31 at 10:00 p.m. ET live on AXS TV.
With Legacy Kickboxing this past weekend and Glory coming up in August, we are in the midst of three straight weeks of kickboxing/Muay Thai on TV -which should make any fan of the stand-up arts happy. Of those three cards, this one is arguably the best, with some really superb Muay Thai fights. As a reminder for those tuning in, this is traditional Muay Thai rules, meaning 5 round fights instead of 3, plus a wider range of allowed techniques including elbows, knees from the clinch, and throws.
In the main event at Lion Fight 23, two of the sport’s most dynamic fighters square off as Thailand’s Malaipet takes on Liam Harrison. Malaipet Sasiprapa is a decorated veteran who has fought all over the world and been a fixture of Lion Fight since the company’s inception. He’s 7-2 in the organization, and is the kind of fighter who can always be counted on for a fun fight. Harrison is one of the UK’s best fighters. He’s taken on a who’s who of international Muay Thai elite fighters, and comes in here off a loss to the excellent Pakorn in March. Hard to envision any way this is not a great fight.

Muay Thai
Muay Thai is a combat sport of Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This physical and mental discipline which includes combat on shins is known as "the art of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins, being associated with a good physical preparation that makes a full-contact fighter very efficient. Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the twentieth century, when practitioners defeated notable practitioners of other martial arts.
