Maybe there's nothing wrong with the training, it's the match-ups? The three Thais fighting were all top level who fight pretty much every month. It's clear there is no one outside of Thailand who can beat Saenchai. The same is arguably true for the other Thais fighting.

Sure there may have been times when ppl have beaten decent Thais in the UK, however I would argue that there is no 59kg or less fighter in the UK, Canada, US or Aust who could beat a ranked Thai in Thailand. Thais fighting overseas often don't train so hard or take the fight as seriously. They are also generally fighting above their normal weight. It's interesting that everybody talks of the importance of 'Thai style' but weights are rarely mentioned.

Maybe UK fighters need to fight lesser opponents and not necessarily Thais? It seems we're being a bit hard on ourselves and putting too much pressure on the fighters.
