Empty the Bench

And Ramon “The Diamond” Dekkers Is Really, Really Good At It

Muay Thai is the, “Thai name for a form of hard martial art practiced in several Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Cambodia (where it is known as Pradal Serey), Malaysia (where it is known as Tomoi) and as a similar style in Myanmar (called Lethwei) and in Laos (Muay Lao).” I’ve caught a few clips of it before, but I have no idea who this Ramon Dekkers guy is. Apparently he fought them all, in their homeland, under their rules . . . and he beat them.

Just in case you needed some proof, check out the video below. We suggest you keep your finger hovering over the mute button on your computer, the music is a tad obnoxious. My favorite highlights are at 1:08, 2:50, 3:46 and 4:05. I’m pretty sure I could take most of these guys, too. I’d come at them like a tornado of teeth and fingernails and elbows. In any event, it’s fun as hell to watch people beat the living crap out of other people, so without further ado:
