    good muay thai skills are going to help in MMA, i can't imagine a pro MMA foghter oing less than 2 hours of Muay thai a week.

    When Gilbert Yvel ko'd Gary Goodridge it said everything about Muay Thai, i would take a fight with Lesner because i could always tap out, the danger of fighting a guy like yvel is the fight could be over in 2 seconds and you could suffer injuries that would end your carrer.

    Muay Thai is already a big part of MMA. But if a fighter went in mma with just muay thai he wouldn't do really good.

    Yeah i know but Corbett or Carnage.

    Has been a a World Karate Champion
    He was a Kickboxing Champion
    He was a Shoot Boxing Champ
    and now a Muay Thai Champ.

    Im sure if he went and did some Jiu JItsu he would be great in UFC.

    A real striker that could KO anyone at anytime.

    His elbows are deadly.

    If you look him up on Wikipedia he has about 15 stoppages by Elbow.

    M16 goes off beebs cheers.

    I have to admit if it wasnt for me following Muay Thai so much before UFC/MMA got big i wouldnt be interested.

    I prefer strikers more in the UFC. Sick of the wrestling a bit.

    @Boppazoo:
    I appreciate the Carnage very much, but i dont think that he could do well in MMA.. Hu first needs to learn groundtechniques otherwise all his opponents will try to floor him...
    BTW: Carnage should fight Tyrone Spong for Cruiserweightunification.. This would be a hell of a fight..
    I would predict a third round ko victory for Spong..

    Carnage should stay in muay Thai, he is so great to watch and mma would take so long to prepare for. I love mma, but the world needs pure muay Thai fighters, pure boxers, pure wreatlers, pure judoka.
