Lamai Muaythai Camp Thailands fighter Mardsua ‘Tum” and sponsored fighters Jason Woodham and Mostafa Abdollahi prove to be a big hit in Malaysia for the conclusion of the first Muay Thai’s Challenger Series. Supporting the blue corner fighters Lamai Muay Thai Camps P’Nong & Billy helping towards the success of the night.

Produced by the Imagine Group and The Group Entertainment, under sanctioning of the World Muaythai Council (WMC), the world’s governing body for the sport of muaythai, the reality competition series that was set and shot in Malaysia came to a climactic conclusion last night with the 2-hour finale fight night on AXN.

The final episode was filled with spectacular fights and an electrifying atmosphere from the Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur.

First super fight of the evening was between Marco ‘The Sniper’ Pique and Mostafa ‘Persian Mos’ Abdollahi. This fight had the crowd going mental as both fighters gave it their all to the bitter end. After 5 rounds of gruelling strikes and counter strikes, the judges scored the bout giving Persian Mos the win. A great performance by both fighters who most unquestionably gave viewers one of the most entertaining fights of the evening!!

Next up was a fight that brought the volume of the spectators in the stadium to an all-time maximum decibel level, as it was the fight to feature Malaysia’s own Faisal ‘Golden Elbow’ Ramli against England’s Jason ‘the handsome hero’ Woodham. It was clear from the get go that Jason was not only fighting Faisal but the entire stadium which undoubtedly were behind the home boy in full force. Bouncing off the crowd’s energy, Faial attacked the legs of the handsome hero with a barrage of devastatingly loud and vicious leg kicks that finally brought his opponent down in the 4th round, unable to get up. The win went to Faisal by TKO to the thunderous cheers of the home crowd.

Next up was the fight to end the 16 week journey of the final 2 Challengers, Jordan Watson from UK versus Madsua from the motherland of the sport, Thailand.

Each fighter took his time, cautiously calculating their next move, careful not to make a mistake. Needless to say it was clear that the stakes were especially high with 100,000 USD riding on whose hand would be raised by WMC referee Elias Dolapstis in the end.

Jordan showed just why they call him the British Bull dog with his fierce and solid attacks, landing many take downs on his opponent in the first few rounds. Madsua gave it back taking the bull dog into the clinch whenever he could in the final rounds, throwing him to the mat. By round 4 a vicious elbow from Madsua sliced the forehead of Jordan Watson wide open with a cut (Jordan later joked that he looked like Harry Potter after the fights!!). The final round was action packed and went to the judges’ score cards with all 3 judges scoring in favour of Thailand’s Madsua.

Madsua, following in the footsteps of his fellow Thai brethren Yodsaenklai who took the Contender Asia championship, proudly wore the coveted Challenger Muaythai Belt and was presented the cash check for a whopping $100,000 USD!!! WMC Vice President Stephan Fox also presented him with a WMC Championship Belt.

Another great promotion for muaythai!!

Mostafa Abdollahi “Persian Mos” talks about his training experiences at Lamai Fitness & Lamai Muaythai Camp!

I first trained at Lamai Muay Thai Camp and Lamai Fitness in Koh Samui in 2010 and I travel there to prepare for most of my big fights. I spent 2 months solid training there in the run-up to the Sport Accord Combat Games 2010 in Beijing. Recently I trained there in preparation for my superfight in the Challenger Muaythai finale.

During the filming of the Challenger Muaythai show, I was very happy to have the Lamai crew there as trainers and support in my corner, and to be part of the blue team with Ajarn Nong and Billy Orr, as I know them and am comfortable with them and their style of training. I believe that one of the reasons I did so well in the competition was because I had their support.

Before the Challenger finale fight, I was training for almost 1 month at Lamai Camp, every day twice a day, with muaythai padwork, sparring & clinching, and a fitness & conditioning program designed by Billy Orr at Lamai Fitness. I used the FightLife and Bionutrics supplements which are awesome.

I love training at Lamai Camp because the trainers are very experienced, but also more importantly they are 1 team with the fighters, it’s like a family and they care about each fighter’s performance and tailor the training to suit. The expert trainers in each field all communicate well with each other so you feel as a fighter that every area of your fitness, strength and technique is getting attention and improvement.

I’ve trained at many gyms in Thailand and some of them are just about padwork & how many times you hit the pads, to get you tired. Lamai Fitness & Camp has a complete approach which prepares you both physically and mentally, and with expert knowledge about fitness & nutrition & how to structure your diet so that you can drop weight but still have enough energy to train hard. Not only that, but there’s plenty of fresh air and an amazing beach just a few minutes walk from the camp so it doesnt really get any better than this!

It looks like I will have a busy fight schedule for 2012 so I will continue to train hard with the Lamai Fitness crew and hopefully get great results!
