oliver olsen or is that to recent

[vance jones]

oliver was good. there was lots of great fighters in early days. phil conway was another geat fighter as well. damien "swinger" meyer vs robbie moore was the first muay thai fight in australia many years ago at beconnsfield hotel in fremantle. some may debate that.

[promoboss]

habby heske would have been great to see him keep going

There are no Victims in Life only people who make Choices.

habbe now runs his own gym and would have to be w.a. best mma trainer

[Glass Jaw]

Vance himself was a machine.....modest obviously.

Sanapar Noi, Luke Conche, Luke Kempton....


Vance are you still training? If so, where abouts and do you train MMA now? From memory your school used to do some shoot wrestling?

[Crazee Bitch]

blair smith and dom devanna... brett dalton

even though they are getting on in the years they would probably give alot of the young up and comers a hiding

and peta dvine was an awesome chick fighter back in the day.. that bird could smash

[LXXIX]

yes brett can stil fight he aint as fit but he can still back you into a corner and unleash that famous overhand right of his

[DUMP]

Blair Smith & Darren Curovic,the only two Aussies that have defeated world champ Ekkelboom. Darren Reece,the first fighter to highlight the big difference between Bjc "muay thai" & Thailand muay thai.

[ChuckLiddell]

Blair Smith for sure

[Seth_2]

Blair smith is a farking tank! every time i see him he's bigger and bigger! his shoulders are like 10feet wide and all muscle! haha man wouldnt want to get in his bad books aye!

DUMP, i think you mean the only two west aussies? Elson beat Eugene once..

[Voice]

sounds like you L'il Seth...packing the inches and kgs on year by year!!!

[samurai]

Oliver Olsen is still teaching and training at the West Australian Thai Boxing centre. This guy is the sparring champ, at 34 yrs of age still ripped as and still sparring everyday with anyone who walks into the gym. It just makes me sick ha ha

[samurai]

Oh!! How could we forget the man who taught me everything I know and bought us true Muay Thai, Mr Muay Thai himself Phon Martdee still going strong with his gym and promoting shows.

[ChuckLiddell]

Hahaha yeah Blair has packed on a good 20-30kg since hanging up the gloves thats for sure.

[zoesinead]

any1 remember 80s 90s fighter dominic delnghy,he was an above the waist fighter but his arse went when low kicks came in (in them days they used to say low kicks sort the men from the boys)anyway 2 year ago he came out the closet,hes gay,would that make him the 1st gay champion.
