It's ironic that the WMC has become another mickey mouse organization, as it was originally set up to establish a credible body for Muay Thai. These days we have trainers from the (so called, but not really) WMC camp fighting for world titles.

Liam may have been given the excuse that non-Thais aren't wanted for lower weight titles, but I think there's more to it. If this was the case, how did he end up with a belt and certificate? The organization has non-Thais running the show and making decisions.

It would be good to hear from them, they started the thread but are staying away. This is why I'm not a fan of the Contender. Sure it's great exposure, however I think WMC officials have serious financial interests in it, so we can be sure this is the direction the organization will take.

We need to be careful how much support we give to this reality TV program, because it excludes most good fighters. We don't want to encourage a repeat of what's happened to Stephen, Liam and others.
