I'm somewhat conflicted as to whether this should be on the main forum. This story is related to Muay Thai as it is the Thai Government trying to protect Muay Thai from a competing sport in MMA.

I've always said that MMA pushes Muay Thai/Kickboxing forward whether those in the MT/KB community want to acknowledge it or not. It is because of MMA that the average fight fan now knows how devastating elbows/knees/leg kicks are. Unfortunately, it brings this exposure through a different sport under different rules.

Look at the best MMA fighters today. Most MMA champions are using Muay Thai techniques. The UFC now has lower weight classes. Thailand has a great opportunity to develop a generation of MMA fighters that represent Thailand and demonstrate great Muay Thai technique. A smart promoter would be able to catapult Muay Thai events using MMA as a spring board. There is sure to be a large percentage of the MMA audience that prefers stand-up battles.

Imagine a UFC event in Thailand. Imagine Thai MMA fighters becoming millionaires through MMA. Imagine all of the money that MMA could bring to Thailand. Imagine how much exposure Muay Thai would receive through all of that.
