Great interview with Orono there.

"MMA is a different game and it requires a different technical IQ to succeed" - real honesty there, especially seems as it's coming from a strictly muay thai fighter.


It'd be a great thing for the mma world to see if there were to be a steady stream of mma competent fighters coming from thailand, where they already have that world class striking base.

We've already seen how successful dutch kickboxers were in mma, even with relatively shallow quantity of ground skills, because of their advantage in the striking field over their opponents.

Perhaps when one or two thai based fighters really begin to make a name for themselves in the mma world, a greater quantity of thai's transitioning to mma would be basically inevitable.
