I am trying to make up for the absence of the last 10 episodes of the show. I know this blog went defunct at the most exciting parts and I'm really sorry. I have got all the episodes in my computer and I'll probably try to string them into a single file and upload it, when I have the time. I am going to make it up by posting the rematches here and also the final match between Yod and JWP. I

I have decided not to comment on the show because it wasn't as good as I expected it should be. The results were pretty predictable:Naruepol vs Soren - Nareupol won by points Zig Zach vs Takeshi - DrawYodsaenklai vs Madsua - Yod by KOI heard Madsua was a trainer at C.A. Really?

I know I've been gone for awhile. Never got to finish this blog. I apologise for the sudden disappearance.17th September 2008 - The Return of the Contenders!The most anticipated match, for most, of the Contender Asia was that of Yodsaenklai and JWP. Those of us who were at the Indoor Stadium Singapore will remember the the intense fight, a whole of five rounds with Yod taking victory. Remember

It is famously known as Brazilian kicks but Muay Thai gyms teach it too. I suppose it is a different variation of Muay Thai Roundhouse kicks. K-1 commentators generally regard this as a "Brazilian Kick". Glaube Feitosa is pretty famous for knock-outs with this technique.Here's a good tutorial on it:The difference between the "Brazilian Kick" and the typical Muay Thai roundhouse is that the

The Tiger Kings are on a lucky streak and emerged victorious once again. This time, both teams had to pull a truck at both ends and whichever team crosses his finishing line first, wins the challenge. The Tiger Kings were rewarded to a $500 shopping spree on eBay for their victory.Zidov was pretty pissed off at the reward. He remarked that in his country, if you get rewarded $500 for pulling a

Many thanks to lazy_m for uploading the FULL version of episode 3. The only version that has been going around on the net so far has been the pre-released version, with one missing scene. I am so thankful for this upload because I missed this episode. I was so fed up with the pre-released one. I'll return the favor soon! To the rest of us, enjoy! :)

Rafik's cockiness after their double victory lost him respect from the Tiger Kings, his team mates and even Stephan Fox. The Tiger Kings were so pissed off they swore to win their next challenge and, their ultimate goal for their first victory was to send Rafik home.I will not attempt to talk more about the challenge. I thought it was a good challenge because it emphasized a lot on fighting

Rumors has it that filming for Season 2 begins in October 2008. Honestly, I wasn't even expecting a Season 2 but now that word has gotten out, fans should have more to look forward to. I'm hoping that they'll be filming in Singapore again but I do think that they should venture into Thailand. After all, it's pretty absurd to do such an important show out of its home.Anyway, the official website

Disagreements are already beginning to surface. Not something we're not expecting - a house of 16 Muay Thai fighters who will in the end fight each other. The main target for disagreement is the Wild Boar's leader, Rafik, and apparently was a consensus between both groups."Hey Frenchie, You, Big Mouth, Small Heart" - This was a comment made by Yodsaenklai to Rafik, just before the choosing of

The Contender Asia finally premiered yesterday and like all Muay Thai fans, I was part of the overplayed hype and glued myself to AXN even before 9pm. The premiere, however, wasn't quite the 10/10 I was expecting (and I guess this is partly because I went to see some of the live matches).Personally, the disappointment came from two main areas. One was the editing of the fight. Muay Thai fans love
