I am Brazilian. Ramon Dekker was the only man who made me cry after Ayrton Senna's death, the humility of these athletes is superior, the world needs more sportsmen like that.
Probably one of the best Muay Thai fighters that ever lived..Appreciate him more now that he is gone..What a savage in the ring..I went on a 2 hr Ramon video spree last night..R.I.P.
MrChrisgabber What a sniper bro! Monster chin too.Man gone way to soon.Every Martial Artist should watch video of Ramon..The man was perfection at his art,The beautiful Muay Thai of Ramon Dekkers..
I think most people just don't realize how exceptional Ramon really is. When he was fighting in Thailand, the country was not exactly welcoming to foreign fighters. In his early fights, he had to face obviously partial judges, crowd mocking, etc. There are even reports that in a couple of early fights he wasn't even given a private room to change clothes. Now think for a minute what that does to your head and that you have to overcome it and beat the hell of the guy in front of you. Legend.
Amazing Human Being. Great, humble, grounded man. One of my Heroes in Martial Arts. Ramon is without a doubt arguably the greatest of all time. His accomplishments are amazing and people need to remember that Ramon is the man who paved the way for today's fighters. R.I.P 1969-2013. Gone but never forgotten, your fighter spirit lives on my friend.
only a legend can die like him. his life was short but very intense and reach of significant. A special life for a special person R.I.P. Diamond you re unforgettable
I have the honor to see him life "Ramon Dekker" …in Duisburg Germany 1990 … in this Gala Holland vs Thailand I see Life the Thai fighter like... Koban, Kontoranii and Master Yodthong… Now to know that Ramon Dekker is a Legend is a big honor for me ...I can say... I see him Life Fighting 1990 … Ramon Dekker you are a "REAL" Legend ...
Descansa en paz, Ramon Dekkers; gracias a tí me has inspirado mucho en mis entrenamientos a lo largo de mi vida. Gracias. Me hubiese encantado haber podido tener la oportunidad de entrenar contigo.
ramon dekkers you have my utmost respect. ive seen most of you're fights on youtube i can honestly say you are the best there is. my son who is 11 years does muay thai and taekwond, he loves you're videos. if only we lived local to you!!! peace from east London.
Its always like this, a legend has passed away.....And now that he is gone, we will respect him even more! My heart goes out to his family and friends. Ramon ''Diamond'' Dekkers R.I.P Rust in vrede, Kerel!
I have followed and loved martial arts my whole life, how did I miss such a legend? ...it's sad I have to posthumously experience such a phenom. R.I.P.
As a Dutchman I can't let this slip. Breda is not a "small rural community south of Amsterdam", it's a city with 300,000 people on the other side of the country. I fucking hate how everything about the Netherlands except Amsterdam is always oversimplified in international media.
THE MUAY THAI KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING, The greatess fighter i ever see.I think god was dutch look at Dekkers fighting, A LEGEND IN IS OWN TIME from England R.I.P.
Ramon got me to switch disciplines around 12 or 13 years old. From karate and boxing into muay thai.. in early 90s before mma was a trendy thing. 99% of people have never heard of him, but he was my favorite fighter, and I tried to mimic his style from head to toe. RIP RAMON🙏
Ramon Dekkers por siempre, una leyenda viva, una gran gran inspiración para los que entrenamos muay thai o incluso cualquier forma de arte marcial, un sueño el poderlo conocer algun dia. Gracias por todo Maestro
Left and right to to the head, left body shot followed by a right low kick with great speed, precision and power. Typical early signs of the Dutch school, aggresive and calculated. Most people overlook the serious conditioning from early age on, one thing they took from Thai training. Good defense, and at the same time willing and able to take hits in order to counter. Ramon Dekkers, Bas Rutten, Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, Nieky Holtzken. They all had the same drive and heart, for me the greatest examples of the Dutch school.
OMFG !!!! Hes a LEYEND ... Sorry for my bad English I speak spanish. Ramon is my idol it's very bad for me that him live in Holand but doesnt matter EL DIAMANTE !!! GRANDE ENTRE LOS MÁS GRANDES :') King of Kings
Maybe the most vicious fighter that ever lived. Name anyone who was tougher or fought with such a violent, brutal, powerful yet tactical style? Amazing human being. Legend in Thailand yet mostly unknown to the western casual fight fans.
R.I.P. Ramon, you're one of the reasons i started with kickboxing! now well over ten years later, at a very young age to die, you had to leave this world. Always in my heart!
i wish this was longer and more thorough ...that man was a monster.its a damn shame more people dont know about him..hes a jordan,gretsky,tyson ali of character that guys life was like a action movie...r.i.p. probably somewhere in valhalla
Bas Rutten , Ramon Dekkers...you are lucky in Holland you had 2 so big fighters! Here in Italy we had Rocky Marciano (both his parents were Italians), Primo Carnera, Nino Benvenuti and so on....Just boxers!
Thanks for uploading awesome footage of Ramon Dekkers! I did not know that he runs his own gym since I thought he only worked as a trainer for Golden Glory.
R.I.P Ramon,sad news to get that, its took me by when i heard that u gonne forever but u will live with all muay thai n mma fighters forever too.i miss u my brother!!!dee from derby england..
Still shocked! he is the the best there ever will be. Every fight I have had I would watch him everyday every clip before. And of the day of my fight I would watch clips for hoursto get me focused. Will be missed by so many but never forgotten. the only fighter I wanted to really meet of all R.I.P :'(
101% pure FACT = this Guy is 1of THE best of THE best Fighters of ALL Time..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! remind HE was 8x World-Champion MUAY THAi as a European not a Thai..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whenever I see Ramon Dekkers fight, I get shivers down my spine. Just like when I watch fightscenes of Bruce Lee. The same power, speed, accuracy and energy. One of the greatest Dutch fighters. By the way, Rob Kaman also fought in Thailand, even earlier than Ramon Dekkers did. Another great Dutch fighter. Fact: Bruce Lee was part Dutch by the way.
It's my dream to fly down there and train with Ramon and his team for a month or two....Ramon, if you see this, you are my biggest inspiration for Muay Thai :) - Emin
~SAD, And Still: JUST SO UN-BELIEVABLE - That RAMON "DIAMOND" DEKKERS, Is No - Longer With Us, GOD BLESS HIM, & PROTECT - His Spirit, ALWAYS. . RIP/Remembered Always!
Respect from Thailand.. you will still in Thais people heart all the time
RIP , your are legend!!
indeed my friend... but remember that he was still beat well by many thai fighters.
@@mmareviewer.2372 i mean meh, he did but many decisions that were pretty clear his were given to Thais over bias.
@@mmareviewer.2372 Lol.. It's like you're insulting a Thai boxer. do you hate muay thai?, Have a Thai boxer beat your favorite boxer? XD
@@LuCa8_ that is true but also you should see some of the legit defeats that were very decisive.
@@tarzanstyleth9058 I do Muay Thai. If you read the comment you see that it favours Thai fighter. Cheers.

Yeah he got way not that respect he deserves!Always there to fight,no bitching.
I did to? Haha
Seriously dude ? No he wasn’t the greatest Muay Thai fighter that ever lived were do you get these ideas ?

R.I.P. The Diamond Dekkers
I have read a nice comment: " It seems GOD wants to learn some muay thai"
R.I.P. Ramon
What Ramone had, cannot be taught. Guy had a warrior's fire in his heart.
I have the honor to see him life "Ramon Dekker" …in Duisburg Germany 1990 … in this Gala Holland vs Thailand I see Life the Thai fighter like...

He was not only a turbine, he was also a very intelligent and versatile fighter. That's why he was so dangerous.
Descansa en paz, Ramon Dekkers; gracias a tí me has inspirado mucho en mis entrenamientos a lo largo de mi vida. Gracias. Me hubiese encantado haber podido tener la oportunidad de entrenar contigo.
RIP Ramon. Never will be another like you. A pioneer in the ring and a true sportsman outside of it. A huge loss to the sports world.

R.I.P Ramon,
As a Dutchman I can't let this slip. Breda is not a "small rural community south of Amsterdam", it's a city with 300,000 people on the other side of the country. I fucking hate how everything about the Netherlands except Amsterdam is always oversimplified in international media.

คนไทยคนหนึ่งที่ชื่นชมคุณ รามอน เด็กเกอร์ ฉายา ไอ้กังหันลมนรก
This man is literally my Fight Hero.
4:45 look at the bones in the back of his hand.
His right ankle was his Achilles heel and forced him to retire....
Wow that definitely don't look normal. Just got to wonder how much injury he accumulated over the years.
Shocker when he passed ....God Bless x
Simply Legend nothing more to say.
It is great to train with a legend.
a legend....gone to soon... R.I.P
He was one of the ultimate fighter . R.I.P ..
I will forever love at that KO at 2:40. He spinned around like they do in cartoon movies.
Not so much a living legend anymore but a legend none the less. RIP Diamond Dekkers.
