@@JeffSainlarVisuals BOTH! I feel the UFC meta has shifted, toward more cerebral fighting. (CKB's influence lol) Holloway from Volk 1, Volk 2, and Kattar are different better versions. Ortegas game evolved similarly, and others. It's an awesome Era seeing these guys pushed to their best versions. 👏. Volkanovski has a task ahead of him this year with Ortega then Holloway 3. He got a legacy waiting on the other side tho if he conquers them! 💪🏾💪🏾 2021 is a year to behold in mma.

Do u workout everyday yo be a fighter and study techniques in every fighting style to be a true mixed martial artist and enjoy feeling pain? If not then u could also say ur a casual, but we're all the same, some know more but if that guys watched all the shit u did he would know what u know about fighting, fighting is easy to learn if it's in ur blood and of not then just hard work.

This is exactly why Max Holloway has drastically improved and even became a better fighter than he already is.

I believe this is what more MMA fighters need with fundamental striking. The Thai's got it all figured out, and it is called the "Art of 8 Limbs" for a REASON.

@H.E. Pennypacker Sure, they train it....but it's not authentic. Get it? When doing MMA, you have to diverse yourself to other forms of combat. You can't stick to one specific category. If you put on a full muay thai training circuit for a MMA fighter, I can guarantee you will see the difference in how a MMA fighter strike, compared to a legitimate full time Muay Thai striker. Fundamentals is key, just like all forms whether its BJJ, wrestling, etc.

TBH Samart's style helps with every MMA fighter since he emphasizes clean basics and efficiency. He teaches you to use less muscle to get your power to the opponent via solid balance

The best is blessed

Samart also has a KZread channel if anyone is interested, really incredible stuff from an all time Legend of the sport

This is real stuff of Muay Thai Box Training....not only Max is amazed!

Greatest Fighting Legend of all Time💯💯👊👊... say no more🙏

Many people seems to forget the fact than more relaxed you are the more strong you hit so. 1 be relaxed to absorb the technique 2 because you execute the technique correctly you can achieve power

That explains everything. Keep up the good work !

Can see Max was really starting to turn the hip on the last few kicks in the clip. 👌🏽🙏🏽

Now I see why he was in so good shape this last fight

Samart is a real legend 💯, shame Max didn't pop in when I was training there last year would of been awesome! 🙏 Not being a hater as I'm a fan of Max and I know his background isn't Muay Thai, but he's got LEVELS to achieve yet judging by this footage. However, that means even more room for growth and even more of a scary Max to come 💪 stay blessed people ✌️🤙

What Max did against Kater was outstanding. One of the best MMA performances I’ve seen. Let’s not forget that he is still only 29! The Volkanovski 3rd match must happen 🥊🥊🥊

No wonder Max had alot of head movements. Tricks from the legend!

I really dig the training footage. A lot of training footage tends to be guys wacking away at the pads as fast as they can go to look cool for the camera. This looks deliberate and focused.

The nicest thing i saw today 🙏🏼😍

I just love everything about him

Max, it pays off congrats

"Wow Max I love bro welcome to Thailand. Love Muay Tai

He must have made them proud with that last fight, epic

This shows the level Max is on. He proves you can never stop learning. He let go and let his "guard" down to let this world in his career

Max’s body kicking is on point here 👌

these must be proud af to see those elbows from max. awesome to see.

max went back to basics

Muy Thai is so amazing!!!

One of the amazing things about training in Thailand with these legends is that they train everyone basically the same. The fine-tune the basics. I trained with Samart and it was almost identical to this session.

Samart was a good boxer too. Max's body frame is great for muay thai.

Samart... Yes he is arguably the greatest, fantastic hands he was also a boxing World champion, very slick with his defence, would constantly sliip and move, check him out on Lawrence kenshins channel or muay Thai scholars. Plus loads others well worth watching, osu 🙏

Finally!! Fighters training with real Gs in thailand.

he is good, a great fighter

Learning the Muay Thai art at least got him away from exposing the front leg which a standard boxing stance is susceptible to leg kicks. Good thing nobody exposed that part of his usual stance before learning in Thailand.

I met Samart years ago at a restaurant in Wichita ks. I was trying to explain to my friends that it was like seeing micheal Jordan just chillin
