Kaoklai should be a pretty recognizable name for you all. A former K-1 star and winning Rajadamern belts in two weight categories, the big Thai  man has done quite well for himself. Here’s a great little documentary put together by people at Elite Boxing. It really makes you like even more. Starting his own gym, selling chickens, owning a video game store, and selling bricks to order really is the life! Maybe if he started fighting chickens like Pornsaneh he’d do really well!

About mlucas

Born to a working class family in rural New York I grew up working like a dog and drinking Natural light in the woods. After a brief stint attempting to escape the poverty of employment via university I gave up on escaping the grind and moved to sunny California where the burritos are as generous as the weather. I work in the service industry slinging booze and food. I got into Muay Thai as a recreational activity. I saw an interclub fight and decided to try it out, everyone has to test their mettle somehow. A few fights and a year later I was in Thailand training, and fighting. I haven’t quit stepping into the ring since. I currently live in West Oakland and balance my time blocking punches with my head with attempting to prevent brain deterioration through writing, studying Thai; language, culture and history, and going to wild dance parties with my friends.

    It’s no secret I’m not the biggest Kaoklai fan… but I’ve got loads more respect for him as a person. My man is hustling… trying to scratch out a living for his family. No wonder he takes every single fight that comes his way.

    Community leader and entrepreneur. Man seems to be using his success well. Looks like after retirement he will be a happy man. I like these kind of stories…and yes SE a Tekken showdown sounds good too!

    so, from what ive read here, kaoklai doesnt fit the mold of a guy who spends all his winnings on gambling and cigs or was ‘forced’ to become a muay thai fighter. good to know.
