Imagine if it was your first time doing Muay Thai, you’d just signed up and walk in to the gym and see this. Then find out that they’re two of the greatest Muay Thai fighters to ever walk the planet.
Just shows the level of mastery, self control & respect. How many times , in other sports, have we seen “sparring” get outta control or go too far. As great as these guys are, there’s still such humility that they aren’t above goofing around. When you’re considered the best, especially at combat sports, ego can get so inflated and your persona becomes your actual personality. This was dope to watch
Even when playing around, their footwork and techniques are near perfection. Just goes to show how hard these two train to be who they are today. Even when playing around and throwing those erratic punches and kicks they're doing it with great timing and landing them on target. That's how you know these two are legends. It's hard to pretend you're not good, when you're so damn good.
@@mztd912 their footwork and technique were nonexistent, they were just fucking around. buakaw was literally throwing windmill punches at one point lol. "tHatS wHat a cAsUal woUld saY" lmfao thats what someone whos closest experience to martial arts training is youtube videos would say.
Plot twist: they both studied each other so much, they both knew the only way to win was to throw some random, off the wall bullshit. This was a serious match, and these were the results of years of preparation
Oh my God I was in tears laughing. This was absolutely hilarious. Watching two legendary warriors goofing off in the ring was so funny and wholesome. I love this 😂🙂
For years I’ve been wondering what a match between Buakaw, the white lotus, the legendary k-1 champion who was responsible for bringing Muay Thai into the mainstream and Saenchai, who many consider to be the greatest Muay Thai fighter of all times, would look like, and THIS… is what I get… I fricking love it lmao.
Watching two legends screw around, slap box, act ridiculous, and joke with each other just to entertain those present is a wonderful and wholesome thing.
I laughed for 5 minutes and 53 seconds straight. These two are just too funny. Ego-less legends having fun and goofing around. I just adore these guys. Best bromance among fighters ever.
@@user-ck6yl6qb2g the shorter guy(saeng chai) is just calling out his moves when he does it as a funny joke and cussing at buakaw, buakaw was focus on idk making fun of him ig
I wouldn't say egoless..all top athletes have egos.thats a big reason why they are on top or become great..they just have good control over their egos..
WTF? lmfao. I almost spat out chayen when Buakaw started using his fists as hammers on Saenchai. lol This is why I love the Thais, man, and I grew up in Inglewood LA. Came here almost 7 years ago to learn Muay Thai and ended up staying and working here. A Thai dude I met in LA changed my life and I'm a better person today because of him, man. Chai, where ever you are, man, I hope life is treating you as kindly as you were to me and my grandma. I hope we meet again, my Thai brother from LA.
@@arthurfleck4595 Maaaaaaate that's not what he meant. Even WHEN he's fighting serious. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to think this is serious. Even with all the special people the internet gives a voice.
Man, this made me laugh so hard. I mean, it's awesome to watch the pure joy and fun they have, while knowing they can pull this off because the amazing knowledge and control they have. Literally how they do every seemingly clumsy move is showing how good they really are. They are seamlessly and effortlessly reacting to every prank-move of each other in milliseconds so this fun-improvisation flows smooth and entertaining. Crazy hilarious! Legends!
The unbelievable precision and power when just fooling around is amazing to me.. Living legends of crazy skill level and experience! Had me smiling almost instantly.. Great content!
I dont think Buakaw has a concept of fear or what it looks like so he just imagines what It might be and it just happens too look like a andrea giant walking around
Probably because you train in a mostly inferior martial art Sensei Seth...and are kinda ‘out the loop’ (😆). ...PS. Just kidding bro.,.you don’t actually train anymore. Do you?!? 🤷♂️🤔😆🙏
They are true legends, icons, epic masters of Thai boxing...having playful fun yet they are so deadly....smiling, laughing...I've heard they are extremely nice & very respectful...wonderful people!!..
Ive never seen Saenchai take more damage than in this video haha. Baukaw is a literal superman. The pinnacle of human fighting spirit, handsome, intelligent, kind, but also incredible ferocious. The way they are "sparring" looks like it hurts.
Because if you are best friends, and are fighters, you can crack shots and not worry about a fight breakin out. It all comes from love and a "halfway-leaving-the-conflict" energy.
buakaw is a way bigger guy, than saenchai. hes like 160lbs. almost 25-30lbs on saenchai, he can just walk through his shots. as he gets hit way harder by opponents in his weight division.
This made my day, to see Buakaw who I have watched and followed ever since he came to K-1 and completely dominated his competition being this goofy and funny is absolutely epic, the fun and joy I see these two fighters share is truly inspiring and something the world really need a lot more of. Thanks for sharing this!
Amazing! I am glad I’ve at least met buakaw in his gym in this life time. Hopefully saenchai next. My wife was so star struck to have hugged buakaw haha…. These are legends of legends…
lmao yeah no, most normal people would eat these shots. Thai fighters are known for their playful sparring, u hit with each other with Ko shots and youll have CTE by your 40s
These guys had me dying TWO GIANTS OF THIS AMAZING SPORT and for these two to jump in the ring and show the world how much love is in their culture the two go at it like true brothers having fun with each other and NEVER DISRESPECTFUL TO EACH OTHER this not only almost made me pee my pants laughing but touched my heart deeply These men have so much of my respect 🙏 God bless these men and their wonderful Thailand 🇹🇭 absolutely inspiring., if only the world can find a way to not ever allow corruption to seize Our lives, I'm forever hopeful to that day God help us all

They may be "just" play-fighting, but even then, it takes up much energy.... the mutual respect is deep between them. Can't imagine a full-out fight .... these men are both champions and just without peer. LEGEND.
Back then i think Buakaw would win, he is larger, heavier much stronger but most importantly he know all of saenchai's tricks and isnt exactly a slouch himself.
@@MrKveite1 Apparently they have signed up to fight each other in a bare knuckle Muay Thai fight.Somehow I just can’t see them really trying to hurt each other as they’re good friends.
That's for sure but another more scary thing is that if they go full fight for real it may well be career ending for one of them and buakaw is a lot stronger and larger and he knows all of saenchai's tricks AND he isnt exactly a slacker himself either when it comes to fighting. @@iandixon9675
@@smerk429 thank you. i'm trying my best to stay motivated and not get overpowered by my own emotions. i very much appreciate your comment. it makes a difference.
@@bubsterjohnson7438 you are a very kind person, thanks. some days are good, but it is mostly a struggle everyday. wish more happy days come by soon. much love.
That's was hilarious!! 2 of the best fighters in the world pretending to be kids. Saenchai screaming the whole time 😂. And Buakaw just following him throwing hammer fists 😂.
There are other Muay Thai fighters fsr above these 2 if you bother to look at Muay Thai rankings dude These 2 just have more social media presence than the other monsters who only care about being champions
@@vincentlee7359 Always that one dude, and it's always an unsolicited opinion. They're 40 years old, they don't compete seriously anymore. You forgetting Saenchai won the Lumpinee title in four weight classes? Or that Buakaw was his own Lumpinee title and multiple K-1 titles? That's like saying Anderson Silva isn't one of the MMA greats because there are fighters ranked above him now.
Seanchai is still crazy sharp at reading opppnent and his reflex is still insane. This isn't sparring, they're just joking for fun hahaha. 2 friends joke around making fun of each other 😂
My god, I can't stop laughing, Buakaw is absolutely hilarious, I love watching him fight, and I also love watching him be comical, because he's just a good person, he's humble and he has a good sense of humor. Most people who do come from being poor growing up, then are usually the ones who has a good sense of humor and usually are humble, but there's some people who is the opposite, but not Buakaw or me, because I know how it feels growing up and being piss poor. I'd really like to meet him one day!
I love this. Two kings of combat just having fun. And no matter how serious it LOOKS like they are about to get, u know its only all fun and complete respect. I've seen Both these guys fight and its easy to tell they wasn't even close to even 50% serious. All respect 🙌
This was a friendly spar but they were indeed fighting. Any of those shots would drop an amateur. Especially when they both just start throwing shit like a street fight. Dangerous how accurate their flails are
