Thank you to all the monks and helpers who worked behind the scenes quietly and proudly.

Finally, I want to thank all the gyms who gave me your fighters names and wanted to be on our show, unfortunately we were not able to match everyone.

We had 2 demo bouts and 5 great C Class fights. Everyone entered into the true Thai spirit and supported all the fighters. Then when all was finished and everyone had packed up and left the heavens opened with a good old Bank Holiday Monday downpour. My prayers were answered that everything went well, with no set-backs.

Picture above shows some of the fighters on the show with 2 of the monks from the Wat Mahathat Temple, Kings Bromley.
