MMA superstar and UFC fight veteran Phil baroni came to Tiger Muay Thai and MMA training camp, Phuket, Thailand to learn Muay Thai like a real Thai. Not only did he learn to “train like a Thai and fight like a Thai” but he also learned something about himself in the process of training and his love of the sport.
“Well you know you get everything right… right then and there. I felt like I didn’t know what to do and wasn’t sure what to do so I took off to Thailand to study Muay Thai at Tiger Muay Thai. I feel that I have always been at a disadvantage in fights where the clinch comes into play, like my last fight with knees, elbows and control and I decided to focus strictly on that because I’ve always been beat in those situations. So I went to Tiger in Thailand and just worked on Muay Thai. I didn’t train Muay Thai like I would train as a mixed martial artist. I trained like an actual Muay Thai fighter,” said Baroni.
