In over three decades and through three hundred battles in the ring, Buakaw Banchamek asserted himself as of one of the greatest strikers in martial arts history. Formerly known as Por Pramuk, he forced K-1 to ban prolonged clinching with his dominant infighting, became the organization’s first two-time middleweight king and then peaced out to conquer the world stage. Today, we'll recount the legendary journey of the 'White Lotus'.

@@snaffu1 It’s more so an innate bias towards their own fighters from the judges, which is present in all Asian countries, and to some extent also in the west (although it’s gotten better over here). If you fight in Japan, Korea, China, or Thailand, against a respective fighter from said country, you either need to knock them out to win, or produce an *OVERWHELMINGLY* dominant victory. Otherwise you’re just gonna get robbed. In the west it’s predominantly prevalent in boxing. Fighting a Mexican fighter in Mexico? Have fun getting robbed if you don’t knock them out.

At that time, Japan was in a period of transition where real mixed martial arts fighting was very exciting and explosively popular, but then it turned into a very disappointing form of entertainment. Even in that, he really shined. Every decent Japanese person who knew him at that time knows this, and there is no room for doubting his strength, talent, hard work, and gentlemanliness. It's unfortunate that his most important time was caught up in such a time, and I'm sorry. Made with love from Japan

Nobody remembers anymore, but I was there live when Buakaw fought Masato. It was the most controversial fight in K1 history. The ref retired after that fight because he let Masato take a beating so bad that Masato had to go to the hospital for kidney damage and he was pissing blood afterwards. Masato was so damaged from that fight that he was out of training for months. Judges were also bias and rigged the fight in favor of Masato. K1 was notorious for bias with their Japanese fighters and for their hatred of Buakaw. The Japanese have traditionally held a long standing racism for Thais. Note: Buakaws fight with Masato this time 29:00 was so brutal and damaging that Masato lost the tournament because of the damage he took from Buakaw.

It's only been a couple of years since I started to watch some Muay Thai and Kickboxing, thanks to One Championship. But shortly after being exposed to the sport I discovered Buakaw and I was immediately captivated by his seemingly effortless ability to dispose of world class level fighters! First I watched a every career highlights video I could find on him, and then all the full fights available on YT and mini documentaries. It's just incredible to me to see him do what he does in a sport that has been around for so long and has so many dangerous fighters that compete so often from such a young age!

30:45 "The opponent asked for more and Buakaw began to question the guy's sanity." LOL! That confused and frustrated look on Buakaw's face, followed by a perplexed shake of his head just makes this comment, already immersed in a sea of golden commentary, even more precious!!

Boxing has seen a lot of rule changes too. A lot of things inconceivable by today's standards have been allowed there had it been 150 years ago. changes kept coming up even after Queensberry rules. Judo had rule changes. The early UFC had almost no rules, and that got changed. Most rule changes exist to propel the sport forward, not to take it backward. In the case of K1 clinch rules, as much as ego-stroking as some of us would like to have it - but no, those changes were made out of simple calculation. To take the sport FORWARD, not backward. If the clinch rules remained free, then most of K1 fighters would immediately be at a disadvantage and would have to learn the new skills - just like MMA fighters had to learn grappling, courtesy of the Gracies. It so happens that the dominant form of ground game in the modern MMA - is BJJ. So, same would have to happen with kickboxing, eventually blurring the lines between it and muai thai. Not only the required time for athletes to reorganize and perform at the required level would be detrimental to the promotion itself, but also it would relegate the discipline itself to being a subdivision of a martial art that is far less marketable on its own (due to multiple reasons). Thus, a middle ground was found, where the rearrangement of the sport was minimal and at the same time shared enough common denominator with neighboring disciplines, allowing athletes to be competent enough at both. Such as Buakaw, John Wayne Parr, Rob Kaman.

Buakaw - the inspiration for many young men to start training muay thai:) Im from Slovakia and I remember the boom around him when he came on the scene. I remember. Me and my friends were watching K1 finals. He was against Andy Souwer amd the fight was amazing. I dont know how Andy still stood on his legs after the deadly kicks from Buakaw. He still is a Legend here, still an inspiration for many fighters. I remember first thinking he is the actor who played OngBak. Buakaws style was totally different than any other. Strong kicks, good defense and the sheere power of his punches that started from his back (you could see his back muscels in every punch). Aaaa beautiful times:)

Native Thai fighters are fearless, and the most terrifying reality of these guys is they are so comfortable in combat that they literally hold back until you give them something worthy of respect and they showboat the entire time. Seeing Buakaw throw a high level competitor to the ground with ease and not even try to stop himself from falling.. just leans on the ropes and smiles.. think about that shit. His hard work and struggle have paid off immensely.
