He is the unbeatable legend. No fat, no muscle, pure hard bone with big lung, stone chin. His stamina is like hell. He will kick kick kick, moving forward grasp the neck and knee all 5 rounds, non stop. At 1.88 m. tall with only 57-60 kg, he is indeed the killing skeleton. Below 70 Kg, no one can beat him. Actually, he has a great defense technique by using front kick, muay Thai kick and knee in combination; When stay outside, his long leg will stop his opponent to get in. This make punch become ineffective. When coming inside, he will grasp the neck at his reach and harshly pull to make them lost balance and also protect from elbow and short punch. He is the fighting robot, the real unbeatable fighter.

Anyone who beats Samart deserves respect....but with those Knees, Deiselnoi deserved pure fear. It's no surprise nobody wanted to fight him. Definitely the best fighter of the 70's.

Absolute Beast, "Sky Piercing Knee." now that's a Brutally poetic name!

Two facts for the day: Fact 1. The Sun is very, very hot. Fact 2. I would never fight Dieselnoi

I have to come back and watch this every once in a while to remind myself how great this guy was and how great this technique is, and how well worth training.

Thank you for these Highlights! As part Laotian I have family members and family friends into fighting or who fought for a while to.make money. I have always romantacized about fighting Muay Thai and aspired to be like Diesel Noi and Samart. However, when I tried to research them was the time of Kazaa, Limewire and such, and videos of fights nearly impossible to find. This is the first time I have seen him in action. I never knew he was so aggressive! I knew he ridiculously tall, but was aware how adept he was at utilizing his height and reach advantage. His arms are so long that he is able to close his elbows and lock them in his notorious clinch. The clinch's weakness is the uppercut, but with his elbows locked in front and pointed downwards, it is nearly impossible to get an uppercut on him. Of course, a locked clinch would leave the body open to blows, which I am sure he accounts for. But I think he is willing to take a hit or two set up to drive his knees into his opponent knowing that will stop when his knees land. His opponents hit, but that vicious knee makes them become defensive. They try to push block his knees away or curl up. Terrible idea when the knees are literally hitting you with the force of a wrecking ball. To that effect, it just leaves the opponent open to his barrage of knees that would jostle every bone in your body. Well, if you cannot block, a sweep can end a clench... However, I notice that in the clinch, he leans forward and keeps his support leg far back, just outside the range of smaller people's legs. You could try body blows, but trading punch for knee not a great idea. A nasty combination to devastating effect. Straight art blocking would just be plowed through, and you risk breaking your arms. I don't see a lot of fighters do this, but a well timed, downward point of the elbow into the middle of the quads as they try to knee will stop those knees quick. However, Diesel's closed elbows make it nearly impossible for the opponet see the attack to block. Amazing fighter.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone else generating that much power with knees before. Its partly due to his physiology (long limbs) and partly due to superior technique, both in his delivery (actual strike) and his set-up (clinch work). But the combination of both is absolutely devastating. I don't need a meter to know the amount of force he is generating is off the charts. If you took a clean shot from one of his knees to the solar plexus, it could easily stop your heart.

He is like that video game character that has the overpowered technique and wont he spamming it.

There is one person daring to fight with him and defeated him twice, his name is Wicharnnoi porntawee who is 163 cm but used his tactics with leg kicks and uppercut as well as hold Dieselnoi at his waist til Dieselnoi cannot knee him.

Dieselnoi: So who wants to spar? Everyone: *silence* Dieselnoi: OK, who wants to hold pads for me then? Everyone: *more silence*

just me who is impressed of the power in his teeps ?

Dieselnoi...surgically using killer knees to re-arrange the opponent's internal organs (and turning those organs into mush). Amazing stuff this.

Wow, You'd think a fighter of his height would stay out of range, with long lanky arms & legs and just "stick n move" . But Dieselnoi is a fighter that wants to get so close on you, to basically smother your ability to strike and just force feed you those knees until you melt onto the floor.

Dieselnoi has another nickname, "The Telegraph pole Knee Warrior".

hey I just want to say thank you for putting all these tributes of these multi legend I've been always wanting to know more about these legends as a thank you very much you are helping me with my quest to knowing these legends of fighting thank you very much

hey bro you wanna hold pads for me? ...no.....noo.nooooooo. bye

He is a really tall dude for a Thai fighter especially for that generation. The Thai fighters now day are getting bigger, taller, stronger and their boxing games is getting better as well : ) Thank you for sharing this video.

Big respect from Holland !!!

Lethal knees! Just came upon this historic muay thai fighter. Awesome!

His switching is amazing !! The speed he is able to do it . Guy is on fire !!!!

awsome footage man

Fabulous ! He is the greatest Muay Thai boxer who used the most powerful knees ever..

So much Diesel

Yay another video.

I wonder how long it would be before you could breathe without pain after fighting this guys. I'm guessing at least a week or two.

And another one of my Favorites.... Psychic

Quello che mi piace tantissimo di questo magnifico combattente...è (oltre alle ginocchiate).. anche la sua guardia....diciamo che se ancora non lo hai riconosciuto...ancora prima di capire che è lui dalle ginocchiate, lo capisci dal modo di stare in guardia...fantastico!

His knees are so scary! Especially with such explosive yet very long legs! I think he can match the range of some fighters' punches with his knees.

A good technic doesn't have to be beautiful.. it has to be efficient, a good balance between energy consumption and energy delivered… it doesn't have to be beautiful, but somehow it has to be brutal.

Imagine getting one of those to the Balls. Great video do

Amazing video again, Lawrence. Any chance you can make the watermark in the upper right corner just a little smaller?

In my opinion, Muay Thai is mastered when user owns either knees or elbows strikes like this. This means he got a soul for war - originally beast's soul, trained, brutal and rage, fighting to kill, not to win. So, when you meet an extremely aggressive Muay guy who loves knee or elbow strike more than anything else, you yield. Old-school fighters are all too dangerous...

Love the videos bruh

i have never trained professionally but i hit the heavy bag of my father from time to time and my favorite exercise was knee strikes. Don't know why but they felt natural to do because it's easy, fast, strong and you don't see it coming but when I watch UFC matches nobody utilized it often so I thought it's ineffective. I mean you can hit the body, the head and even the opponents leg during a upper body clich, also you can consecutively hit multiple times in a very short time. It also seems difficult to block a knee attack.

Muay Thai legend

Dude, hes amazing !!!

I was wondering about opposite stances via long guard. Is it better to use long guard at an angle in that scenario or just double stiff arm the long guard or just do it regularly. We're confused at the gym about this because we're worried about the stereotypical counters for opposite stance opponents.

Great breakdown as always. Someone knows the name of the ending theme? Starting 5:40

Makes me want to train right now.

i've been looking into the way he throws knees lately, and watching this, i noticed in these fights i noticed Alistair Overeems knees look very similar, a guy who is also well known for murderous knees, so definitely something to that style of knee

3:47 Did this absolute madman deflect a spinning back kick with a fucking teep? Absolute legend

5:14 is my favorite

Congrats brother

The knee that pierced the sky !!

Anyone know where I can get the music from 5:42?

Man, you realize quickly why no one wanted to fight him and he was forced to retire. You don’t want to stay at a distance because he naturally has the range advantage by far but if you get close he clinches you and makes you eat knees. Imo a kicker like samkor would have the best chance of taking him down.

his cardio is amazing.

And that still people are all about Bruce Lee "The" fighting legend when numbers of true fighters are all over the history of fighting sports, make me reconsider what people are after when it comes to legends in general..

Thanx you

Respect from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Is blasting your elbow into muay khao tight in a clinch is effective?

Great job.

That was fucking awesome.

Wow that guy is awesome

una furia omicida.. LEGEND..!!!

Is he the one who discovered deisel? Deiselnoi?

Jesus, those knee strikes look violent.

I came watching buakaw. Knowing his the greatest then someone comment samart the I watch what the hell. Samart is a god. Then someone comment samart lose 2 times to dieselnoi. Wtf ?! God is defeated 2 times. And this is the real deal. Dieselnoi is undefeated. Forced to retire. Because no one want to fight him So what can we call dieselnoi ? Zenoi ? Or the super saiyan god that even a god of destruction is afraid of fighting him. What the heck

how tall is he?

"Look out for his knees!" said everyone.

GOAT

Never...ever...He is the greatest!

He retired because there's no competition.....wow!

heads, shoulders, KNEES!!!

Tall fighters should take notes like yoshiro sato etc. Dieselnoi throws knees like kicks, the reach seemed that long

Damn!

His grandfather was called Thomasnoi

Does anyone know his fight record, how many straight wins was it; or even if there was a lost before he became champ?

The poor kickboxers jajajaja what a surprise they would get fighting this guy....

Real life dark souls 3 boss, that dancer of the boreal valley boss.

LOL all the homies at 1:04 watching...thinking..." fuck I don't want to spar with this guy today " If your short your doomed! run!

This video makes me want to do clinch work so bad.

The knee strike can be a powerful weapon!

0:31 what in the world

Good foghter, better man

Dieselnoi had the bees knees

he's the real mantis king

Lawrence kenshin how is this defendable? Defeatable? He is so much longer and stronger. Something around upercuts?

He retire because there was noone else in his division , wow incredible ! , but couldn't he go up on weight to fight in other divisions?

Man dee khap!

How would diesels do against a strong ufc grappler? Sorry for my ignorance knowledge.

Diamont knee 😎😎😎😎💥💥💥💎💎💎

I love your videos. I used to do shitty pointfighting but after realising it was restricting me I changed to K-1

Jesus his knee strikes against the belly bag sounds like a whip

How tall is the guy?

I have conversation with muay thai fighter.. he said rule will ask u to wear a glove.. but rule dont ask we wear a glove at knee and albow hahahaha LOL

I heard the old man said he is also good at using money, he use it all after the fight lol

Did he ever fight anyone he's own height?

You pretty much have to specialize in leg strikes when they are 90% of your standing height

He beat FUCKING SAMART!!?? What a scary monster. I wonder who beat HIM in his prime.

Did he ever throw a punch in his fighting career??

In ancient time Muay Thai is fighting art of soilder Siam Kingdom (Thailand)

Man Dee.Thai tong bpen Thai, Thai tong bpen Thai!

he was fucking tall

Meanwhile people in ufc 4: stop spamming knee

He looks terrifying

ขุนเข่าเสาโทรเลข

Great knees, can't deny, but honestly he looked like a fighting skeleton

What if Jon Jones could learn to approximate these techniques?

Stunning knees..this is why tall people should let their knees go.
