Buakaw in ’08

A real mixed martial arts blog should cover the sports that help make up MMA.  It’s obvious I have a man crush on Buakaw Por Pramuk, but I’ll disguise it by using the aforementioned principle of good MMA blogging as an excuse to post this highlight reel.

Anyway, this reel is excellent.  It shows how punishing Buakaw’s arsenal really is.  And even though he’s fighting in K-1, his style is so clearly Thai boxing.  I love how it shines through the rules and overwhelms his opponents.  I also like how he incorporates less-used techniques, like the push kick.  He’s just such a special talent.  It’s hard to not be amazed.
