Saenchai is a God amongst men🙏. Thank you for this video Kenshin
@ZU Co for sure
thank you PHATT!
The best striking fighter of the world and one of the best in history for sure! I don't know about GOAT, I consider some Golden Age fighters to have that title, but definitely in the discussion
Pretty much everything, but nothing beats the dance at the end of the vid!
I was lucky enough to meet Saenchai at an airport in Thailand a few years back. I was going through the final security check area, turned around and there he was right behind me, greeting me with a big smile on his face. It took a few moments for it to register in my brain. I'd literally been watching all his fights on UA-cam just months prior, so it was pretty surreal to see the guy right there giving me a friendly smile! I imagine he didn't expect this random Western guy to know who he was, and he seemed pretty happy when I said "Are you Saenchai?!" with all this excitement in my voice. Anyway, I ended up taking a couple of photos with him. He seemed like a down to Earth, friendly person. I remember he was with another fighter who I believe was Singdam. Now that guy looked absolutely exhausted! Turns out they were also on the same flight as me back to Bangkok.
🤣🤣 that’s an awesome story bro
Agreed, awesome experience bro, I'm not sure if I'd have the guts to even go up to him.
But honestly when you met him were you expecting something other than the friendly and down to earth Saenchai who you can't help but admire respect and fear (if opponent)
👊😎
Vdry nice story
Vdry nice story
What a groupie
I would say yes. Technique, power, style, showman and a big heart. All his opponent praised him. Also the man lasted 30 years in what is arguably the hardest of fighting styles.. true legend.
The hardest in a fight, but if you want to be good at it you must train taking a lot of care of you body, means you must do very few hard sparing and just before fights.
Saenchai is a legend. He has a cartel that few fighters could accomplish and over 30 years of professional carrer. Thats already makes history in combat sports, but he made all of that having fun and RESPECT for his oponents. Western fighters a lot to learn from him.
agree with everything you said brother
I'd LOVE to see Saenchai fight Mayweather under MMA, muay thai, shoot boxing or K-1 rules (but ABSOLUTELY *NOT* WESTERN BOXING RULES) but Floyd's people would probably never allow it LOL. Even against Nasukawa it had to be a STRICT boxing match despite Floyd's notable size advantage. He'd have a (somewhat less) size advantage over Saenchai also but I'm sure it still wouldn't be enough to fight outside of *STRICT WESTERN BOXING RULES* for Mayweather lol.
@@AGNOSTIC_incomprehensibleXIV so naive to think tenshin didnt take part, floyd vs tenshin was just a ridiculous plays to show how them both shat into the face of all combat sport fans, so fricking disrespecful.
I agree with you only as far as Muay Thai goes! He certainly is a legend there! However, I don't think he would really stand a chance against a Henry Armstrong, Sugar Ray Leonard, Manny Pacquiao or Roberto Duran.
@@AGNOSTIC_incomprehensibleXIV Nasukawa wanted to box Floyd, to test his boxing skills, why would Floyd do an MMA match when he's almost 50 years old, Floyd beat Canelo easily when he is almost 40 and Canelo hasn't lost since and is the current face of boxing, what win doess Seanchai have like that, there's like ten elite muy thai fighters in the whole sport and the rest are bums
For reference, Saenchai is 5'2" and 132 lbs most of the time. Against significantly larger opponents, his success and dominance are absolutely mind-blowing.
5'2????? He's listed at 5'4 on wikipedia. Still shorter then expected. Just makes him more epic.
I love small fighters they always have the best crowds hands down. I’m subscribed to a guy who’s ring name is Baby Hulk, he’s 5’0” and is so fun to watch.
I first saw Baby Hulk on the UA-cam channel Street Beefs, and while the name implies dirty back alley brawls, it’s not quite that anymore. There’s some structure and rules that are enforced.
People saw Baby Hulk regularly take down dudes who are my height and asked him “if you can defeat a man with nearly a foot on you, why aren’t you going pro?”
Sorry, seenchai may be a Legend And a great kickboxer, but due to Americans Giant aThLeTeS such as Tyson, Ronaldo, even Connor, they keep Totally overcrowded our TV screen throughout years,i had no ideas who Seenchai was,. the world seems to be put it's weight unbalance on the western sport star. Is he as great as Connor or Fame as Bruce Lee,. .. let's see , if he turn his luckiness into being a movie star. Is the size mattress,. ?
I need to spin the Globe, and i did it through you tube, until i found Seenchai. What a great man, 150-1 and 70 win In a row
“he has 1 loss unlike me the greatest fighter of all time.”, Mayweather
@@DxModel219 Mayweather has no claim to greatest fighter ever. Boxer maybe, but even that's up for debate
I had no idea there was “controversy” behind the quality of who Saenchai has fought. From my perspective, who HASN’t Saenchai fought?
Lordzilla
Yessss
Conor
m.ua-cam.com/video/V4tHRoL7oVQ/v-deo.html yes please
me..... jkjkjk
one of most amazing thing is of all his losses he was just one time lost KO and that was in 1996. almost 25 year no one KOed Saenchai
300 fights later no ko lol
@@LawrenceKenshin it would be really interesting to breakdown what happened in his head when he was last KO'ed. like, what tilted in his mind so bad...that even a knock down was nearly impossible.. his mindset must be really like a flowing river..
@@FC-yg4wi u know when u get KOd its not about mindset anymore at all lol (at getting up again, yes, but not in that sudden moment after impact when u go down like a wet bag)
@@alpha-cf2oi you didnt get what i meant, but it doesnt matter.
His feet and then, equilibrium and moving speed are amazing. Also his myofascial tensioning is top level. So it’s difficult to’ disequilibrate or hurt him, to put him down
I had the extreme pleasure of working with saenchai in a master class. Such a great teacher, and above that a great person. Respectful, kind, and funny. There was a party after and we shared drinks and songs. Definitely a day i will never forget, and i will always be thankful for the rare opportunity of spending time with a living legend. I wish i could like this video more than once. 👍👍👍
His personality while in the ring is simply golden. Hides his anger when riled, and let's his confidence leak through smiles and kisses. Pure entertainment in both talent and showmanship.
I just love the way he conducts himself in the ring, the way he fights and his antics. He is The Best of the bests.
agreed amazing
La crème de la crème
oh yah? u like kissing on dudes in the middle of clench? u stroke the balls too when u get on the ground?
Often times he plays the Jester in the ring cause he’s just so good , but yes-King of Kings-Saenchai!
Absolutely agree!!
I had trained alongside Saenchai at 13 Coins. Having seen the things he can do first hand, I can confidently say he is the most talented Nak Muay alive.
🔥
Lol clown farang detected
And you are...?
So glad Im able to witness this legend. Inspired me to start learning striking martial arts.
He’s such an inspiration brother !
Thanks to your channel I've been a Saenchai fan for a while now. Also like you said, I believe he's fighting internationally so he can spread Muay Thai to wider audiences and shine a spotlight on Thai fighters. Great video as always.
Thanks so much for supporting rave ! Hope it got you to appreciate the art and athlete more 🙏🙏
He’s my favorite fighter. I have fun watching he ‘play’ with his opponent. The elbow moves that changes to a kiss !
thank you for making another great video.i have learned more about the art of 8 limbs from your videos than from any other source,and for that i thank you from the bottom of my heart.keep up the good work,best comabt chanel on yt
❤️❤️
May his legend never die 🙏
Hell ya saenchai been favorite fighter for a long time! He so good it's unreal
unreal indeed!
I agree 100%, his professional work is one foot outside of a friendly spar, and he always let's his opponents decide the level of intensity, a genius of discipline.
I love Saenchai... He's most definitely one of the greatest fighters of all recorded history. To witness him fight is like watching an artist painting a masterpiece every time. He seems to brilliantly and genuinely express his spirit with every movement and action. It's truly a sight to behold.
Truly
id say the bob ross of combat sports, but then theres anderson silva.. honestly these two fighting would be a thing of legend
you can see he is having fun each fight, smurfing on opponents like he is playing with students at his gym... thats another lvl, true legend
Everytime I watch saenchai I am in awe of him, what a legend 🙌. Quality video again lawrence thank you 🙏
am in awe too brother, thanks so much for watching!
Yeah videos, especially break downs, of Saenchai are one of the few I go back to again and again and always come away mind blown.
He's magic to watch,,, knows what's coming, before the opponent does,,, UNREAL..
Saenchai is a beast.. arguably the Muay Thai GOAT. He's such a devastating striker for such a little guy. Mad props to him. I absolutely love his sweeps and dumps... they're legendary.
what did Bruce Lee say,,,I don't hit,,,"it hits",, this is Saenchai,,he doesn't hit.. it hits,,he knows every opponents move , before they do...he's a marvel to watch...it's like magic.
Proof that he is legend : my two years old daughter is already capable to say his name!
When I train myself she says his name all the time.
No kidding! :D
That's a great story. Keep at it and hello from Chiang Mai Thailand
Haha that’s incredible
Saenchai drops skilled, conditioned opponents with basic moves. It takes a knowledgeable critic to point out that he's not beating bums for show, he really is that good.
-
Once I saw this great clip of a TKD guy who travelled around the middle east wiping people out. With a kickin' bassline track playing the whole clip was spinning kicks, knockouts, knockdowns, aerial stuff. Then I noticed that the short cuts were just the finishing moves, the opponents didn't seem to be either well-known or in elite shape and the subject of the clip never seemed to be in terrible danger. That's how I knew I was watching a vanity reel by a rich boy who'd gone around slapping local tough guys in a sort of clown act spectacle.
-
When you watch Saenchai, he's clearly up against some quality and in as much danger as anybody can be. He makes it look easy by being that much better in every attribute than his opponents, not because they're middle-grade, but because in some ways he transcends the field. That's one definition of genius. He wasn't invincible and that just makes it more convincing.
I will never tire of you uploading Saenchai videos. Moaaaaaar pls.
🤣🤣🙏🙏🥰
I always hope One Championship signs Saenchai before he retires. Because to see him capture their Muay Thai Belt, Kickboxing Belt, and then make a run towards their MMA belt would be a perfect end to his legendary career.
the dude is 5'4 ,and in his 40's too late
Way to late to transition to mma.
@@AfroGaz71 one championship isn’t just mma. They have kickboxing, muy thai and grappling matches. Not just mma
Hall of fame 💯🥊
Saenchai understands his opponents, his surroundings, reacts accordingly and makes desicisions in a split second. Everybody can get fit and good skills if train hard but not everybody can have composure, quick thinking, sneaky and smart like Saenchai.
Nah, he just kicks the tree harder and more good. He lets the coconuts fall on abdomen. He condition shins
@@donsimons9810 so according to your logic, someone who have better condition and strong kick alone can win a combat sport? In that case nobody need experience and coach then. Pfft 🥴😵💫
@@BlackScale86 yes, thats all one need. Who work hardest win. Strong bone WIN
@@donsimons9810 A girl understands more about fighting than you do. Lol
@@Just-inquisitor you no understand like girl. bone strong by kick tree. Kick kick so tree fall down. Then win anyone with
Respect from Dagestan
Man I love this guy.. Old school flashy, entertaining..his timing and evasiveness is unmatched by any fighter in any mma / Muay Thai past or present..
I dare to suggest Lordshila. Though Senchai is the best of the best.
Maybe his retirement from Thai stadiums has more to do with how often you have to fight there?
Dude's in his 40s, recovery takes longer the older you get, he's probably just looking into not burn out to soon, and I applaud that: the longer we can see him fighting, the best
he could fight at lesser frequency if he wanted
He is 150-1 vs. foreign opponents but he has lost a total of 44 times according to wiki.
Yes.. to Thai opponents.
He fought the elite of the elite since 15.
Thongchai is the guy who KO’d him, was 24 at the time and already a legend known for heavy fists.
From his championship win at Lumpini at 17 he literally had to fight the best of the best (he was at the pinnacle).
So losing is natural when you fight at his weight in muay thai.
Besides this, he took many challenges such as giving up weight to THAI’S.
He was so good he had to give up weight to the elite of the elite. Lol.
His losses came from mostly bigger opponents.
@@Animefightforum I don't understand why he didn't have fights with Lerd, Buakaw, Tang etc
People just idiots who says he didn't fight great fighters. He fought whoever comes in front of him. He is an excellent fighter no words just respect my brother. Love from an INDIAN fighter - AZAD SINGH
He’s the greatest in my book.
one of them for sure
he's also trained a lot of superb fighters
One of the greatest ! Top 3 for sure...
Thankyou for the video I’ve been wanting to see something like this for like a week or so 😁
🙏🙏
One of the GOATS.. how much does his 60-0 run have to do with it though? Greats are judged on the greats that they beat. Saenchai had a GOAT caliber career before he stopped fighting Thai champions. This final stretch is the cherry on top.
The GOAT hands down. Done more for Muay Thai than anyone. Always smiling and always humble he is the perfect ambassador for the sport. 🔥🔥
With deepest respects to his opponents, Saenchai makes high-tier fighters look like beginners.
Absolutely true and it’s not disrespectful!
Never even heard of this guy but he’s freaking amazing. Thanks lot for sharing this video and introducing me to something new!
There'll be many legendary fighters, but there won't be another Saenchai. The man exists on an another level. 🙏
Next level for sure
7:21 guys, can any other fighter can stop an in motion elbow strike and smile as if he is an actor being called "cut", i just love the man !!!!
I was so happy to see Zhang Weili training with him. It was awesome seeing her utilize thai style leg kick defense in her fight with Joanna. Sadly she has now switched over to Cejudo's camp permanently but she seems to have found a new fight family there so I can't complain.
It worked wonders for her against Joanna, but it backfired when Namajunas faked her out and kicked her in the head in the first fight. Still, never hurts to learn some moves from Saenchai
rose learned how to kick wei li in the head with saenchai's sparring video :)
@@LawrenceKenshin rose and rose?
@@LawrenceKenshin sancheai was catching weili with the same head kick in their sparring, that's where wittman created the master plan
@@ravinandank7809 yes caught my typo lol
Two things...one ,Pipa,Lerdsila and Saenchai are the most amazing humble and incredible human beings you wouldnt know they were elite athletes and sportsmen and I am blessed to call the first 2 my friends and all 3 coaches ..( im the same age as Pipa) and secondly ..no such thing as an easy fight...I was at Yokkao when Saenchai had just had an "easy" fight and he did win at a canter but he was still nursing a busted up hand and limping.although he was still doing privates ...ok it was 8000 but my mate had travelled from Aus to have that hour with the genius and he didnt want to let him down ...love those guys
As a Thai, this is my conclusion
Best Agility/instinct = Lerdsila
Best Strength = Buakaw
Best Staminq/Endurance = Rodtang
Best Intelligent with Max critical atk status = Saenchai (from my observation, it looks like every atks from him is all critical)
Best defenc = really have no idea......
What about samart payakaroon
@@qasimalam2574 may be the most genius as Buakaw reacted
ua-cam.com/video/fV8xVhy3TiI/v-deo.html
Buakaw endurance was also best kind .. buakaw records were corrupted by k1 judges .. or else buakaw would have 4 or 5 titles
Best of dodging : Samart Phayakarun
Thailand is a beautiful country with amazing people. Much love and respect to them.
I have never heard of him in the past 10 years since there are so many best Muay Thai fighters. But I did watch and met Baukaw in Thailand, 2010. Compared to Buakaw style Saenchai's is advanterous and dynamic, perhaps this resukted from his observations of other aports as well. Buakaw was excellent but in term of style and entertainment, Saenchai another level. I admire Buakaw until today although I regret for not having watched Saenchai in his prime. To me, both Buakaw and Saenchai are legendary and will be missed by many Muay Thai fans all over the world for many years to come.
Seriously anyone who says Saenchai fought only low tier fighters is either brain damaged or got only half of a brain.
Dude is a legend, he defeated everybody. He left no o e behind, he literally destroyed and dominated every fighter.
This guy is the reason we invented firearms..
A True LEGEND !!!! You know you will be ENTERTAINED ..When you watch him fight.
My friend, all your videos are gold. Always very exciting when you upload a video 🔥🔥
Glad you like them brother!
@@LawrenceKenshin they really are! Often they make me emotional 🙏🏼
What an entertaining beast. The kind of man that show ease yet works over time behind the scenes. This is art in its purest form
I know it'll never happen, but I wish a guy like this would come to the UFC or Bellator. It would just be hilarious to see someone who they have no idea about just destroy their whole division for whatever weight class he is 😅
Have there been a lot of fighters who were primarily Muay Thai fighters (as opposed to MMA guys who incorporated Muay Thai into their training) who went on to great success in MMA? There may have been a couple, but I can't think of any.
If he has no ground game, he would not destroy anything ;-)
I’ve loved Samart Payakaroon for like at least the last 10 years. Anyone know who Samart is?
Could he have beaten Ramon Dekkers?
I love Saenchai and Buakhaw , but Ramon was something else.
These Thai legends are fucking insane. 60 fight win streak at 41 years old. Muay Thai needs so much more recognition that it has, I don’t know why it isn’t as popular as boxing or MMA
Saenchai has been to two seminars at my gym and my coach is going to have him back within the year. I will be paying any amount they ask for to train with this legend.
I love sencai. he's the lomachenko of muaythai. he's fighting style is unpredictable n so perfect. the timing, distance control, speed n explosive power are so effective n dangerous. I can learn n understand bwakaw, rodtang techniques. but seancai I can't it's super fast n very unpredictable. definitely the king of muaythai
the greatest crowd pleasing fighter for sure, a saenchai fight is a SHOW like no other
Great video👍🏾 Thanks I learnt something valuable
Love your vids. Saenchai will always be the greatest fighter in my life time.
Same for me
Saenchai is the GOAT. He overcome shorter range and stature weight difference against many physical disadvantage. and DOMINATE them all
Could you analyze karate and taekwondo fighters in mma? like Lyoto Machida and Thanh le
yes absolutely!
he literally has more wins than street champ Charlie Zelenoff !!!!
Had the privilege to watch him fight in Koh Samui and meet him personally, he was very humble person
Great vid. Thank you
thanks so much for watching
He still carries that same smile.
Fight hard and smile big. Cry when it’s over, fight again the next day 🔥
Thank you for the content 🙏✨❤️
3:25 Holy shit!! a nasty counter artist!!!! So deadly and he's done it multiple times!
I love your content. Like done and waiting for the master class again larger people. Regards.
thank you brother, it's coming very soon!!
Many people are saying he wouldn’t last boxing and mma I can say same for those fighters in Muay Thai so stop this nonsense comparison, Connor challenged Maywheather in boxing while he is a world class MMA fighter did he last in boxing ring? No right in same way every fighting discipline has their own champions don’t mix and match them just enjoy and respect the true fighters, People could say anything about Senchai but just the fact he defeats the opponent double in both height and weight of his is already too impressive and he do it in style and he never was knocked out after that lumpinee match, try taking those punches and elbows in face you will see the pain of it. People undermine such legends because they personally never tried it but those who actually tried Muay Thai knows it well
Well put and said 🙏
He's literally a real life Muay Thai God
Literally for sure
Somrak his teacher is the greatest Muay Thai fighter of alltime 23 yrs with pension bacause nobody of that prime famous fighters from that Lumpinee stadium dare to fight against Somrak. Samart is another name who is better, but Saenchai belongs for sure in the top 20 all time
If people can't see his greatness wow especially when it's so obvious 🙄 legend indeed
Sometimes they can’t :(
Excellent and thank you.
Saenchai is the GOAT. He fights international fighters because of greater publicity and pay. I wish he'd fight in the U.S. and show these folks the power of muay thai.
Too bad US doesn’t have elite competition much in striking 👍🏻
I’m not sure if it is more a poetry in motion, or a ballet? 🤔🙏
LK the saenchai of striking breakdowns
hahahahaha
Great Video, Subscribed
You've taught me so much about Saenchai, but I'm always open for more about him.
thank you for always supporting
0:22 I don't even understand how he swept him like that. Holy...
ur vids are fantastic man..cheers!
Much love !
Saenchai VS Buakaw, this should be the most epic fight of all times... 2 legends
He is an expert in how to take an opponent apart with just basic techniques, that's what I enjoy about watching him fight. Id love to see him in lethwei match. That would be a challenge for him as its the total opposite of muay Thai
His jumping kicks and jumping feints are legendary.
Thank you Saenchai, full respect to you my friend. You are the greatest muay thai fighter for me. God bless you always.
deceptively good, it's hard to see why he is so good but then his opponents just keep falling down like skittles.
Saenchai animal spirit is the HONEY BADGER cuz the honey badger doesn't give a shit
Boxing should be fun watching,that man makes it happen
We often feel bitter about the things we're going to miss in the next few generations but saenchai is something from our era people in the future will wish they were around for.
not only did Saenchai beat A-list fighters, most of them were obviously physically bigger than him too
How about Muhammud Chaiyamart ?
A best ever only loose 15 fights out of 280
Saenchai and Lerdsilla style was like real life kungfu movies
So, Saenchai is the G.R.O.O.T (Greatest of our time)?
Truly, the GOAT. He has the best awareness in the business, such quick thinking it seems like he reads his opponents' minds. Goddamn what a beast.
High Grade Fight Inteligence , just perfect idea and perfect timing
Just proves size doesn't matter, it's the size of your heart and tenacity, GOAT.
As Thai, we’re proud of him. And great video by the way. Keep up🤛🤜👍
Saenchai gonna be that old guy that every Martial Arts movies wants us to believe gained more strength and skill with age and kicks major ass, but can actually kick ass.
hahaha yes
