Ole "Iron Fist" Laursen, Vaughn "Blud" Anderson, Nick "Hooligan" Mellor All Win at Martial Combat.

The other day I blogged on the local Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) gym here in Ubon Ratchathani Thailand called Legacy Gym . I had mentioned that there were 4 fighters travelling to Singapore and fighting in the Martial Combat Fighting Championship 7 and 8. There were two fighters fighting on the 18th of August, being Alex Niu, who is a Chinese fighter and trained for about a month at Legacy Gym and Nick “Hooligan” Mellor a Legacy Gym resident.

The other day I went to Legacy Gym, it is owned by Ole “Iron Fist” Laursen and there you can train Muay Thai or Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). I blogged a little on this gym the other day at this link if you want to see pictures of the trainers and some of the session.

Beating Drums and Jet Engines, Isaan Thailand.

At school we are hitting what can only be called the ‘silly season’. We have so many ceremonies and special days ahead and this brings about a lot of mind numbing activities. Our newest building on display, a sports gymnasium.

Muay Thai Fights, Isaan Thailand.

On the 12th of August I ventured to a local Muay Thai fight night taking place about 25 klms from my house. It was due to start at 8pm but I didn’t leave home till around half past eight pm as if you have lived in Thailand long enough, you know things nearly never start on time. I arrived and went to pay my entrance fee, another lady farang friend had arrived at the same time, I was asked for 80 Baht and she was asked for 60 Baht.
