This is just a short post to direct your attention to a great article that includes a great little interview with Sakmongkol, and an even better highlighting of his wonderful career. I really look forward to spending a year learning under him. He already expanded my fight and training awareness a great deal in two months. There isn’t a lot written about his career on the Internet, so definitely check this out.
Read the Siamfightmag.com article here. There are tons of photos from his storied past against both Thai greats and farang top names. Some of the interesting ones include (do click over to see the rest):

Here are all the video and blog posts from my first two months of training with him in Pattaya this year, where I’ll be headed for hopefully a full year in just a few weeks.
