too much strength training is detrimental in thai, of course you want to be strong but thai boxers also need to be lean and its a very fine balance.
they need to do some of course but power and strength are different things, thai boxers need power in their shots and kicks and they need intrinsic strength in the clinch, which really comes from lots and lots of clinching, but of course there are other exercises that can increase this.
mma guys can afford to be a bit bulkier in the upper body and will probably incorperate more specific strength training than than thai boxers.
again of course, it depends on the person. someone who walks around at 3kg above their fight weight can probably do a lot more strength training than someone who has a lot of weight to go before fight weight. its a balancing act when it comes to strength training, it does increase muscle mass which weighs more. the weight brackets in mma are totally different with wide margins, thai boxers are matched at a specific weight.
having said that, some strength training is a must, but it is something that has to be monitered closely.
