Believe it or not, I needed this message. I recently lost a lot of love for muay thai due to having multiple fights getting canceled, and like eddie said, I blended in with civilization.
I’m glad this message reached you when you needed it. It’s tough when fights get canceled-it can feel like all that hard work doesn’t get the payoff it deserves. But remember, the real reward is in the training itself, the process of growth, and the love for the art. Fights are just milestones; they aren’t the whole journey. Keep building yourself, refining your skills, and finding joy in the day-to-day grind. When the next fight comes, you’ll be even stronger and more prepared. And hey, blending into civilization isn’t for everyone-stay “weird” and keep chasing what makes you unique. You’re part of a rare breed that thrives in the struggle. Don’t lose sight of that. 💪
@heatrick Thank you, sir, for your encouraging words. Enjoying training is something I have forgotten to do this year, but it's something I look forward to doing every time I am in the gym. Also, your content has been of massive help to me, and I'm sure many others. Thank you for being a guiding light for martial art practitioners! 🙏

Soo true !!! Eddie is always dropping gold nuggets but this was pure facts of life. I have met guys that were naturals. But they went on to the army, college, lawyers etc. On top of working as utility worker I never quit training. Ten years later, I objectively have better skill, speed and technique than those guys ever had. And had they stayed the course they would have been amazing, but it’s not your fault.somtimes you just have to be the last man standing no matter what 🤷🏼♂️
"Last man standing", love it! Yes, I feel Eddie is all about "growth", Muay Thai is just the most effective vehicle that he finds this growth. And we're all kindred spirits in that respect in the Muay Thai community.
Eddie Abosolo is a monster and a problem. Hes really good. It's actually hard for me to imagine him losing against anyone in One FC. But the Muay Thai roster in there is just so high level that the fights are always nail biters.
Agreed! He's also stepped in with several fighters in a heavier weight class too-respect! He's great to watch, regardless of the final decision-he's never a "loser".
Not everyone has the luxury of being a full time fighter. Even at the highest levels, you have people that NEED to work otherwise they will be broke. Fighting is a sport for poor people that only have this or people that are rich or have full support from family. Phisiotherapy, trainers, equipment, hotels, flights and so on...people seem to forget that everything has a price and it is pretty damn high. If you somehow succeed to make a career out of it, good. But if you don't you'll regret this decision to the very last day of your life. Study, work, improve society and only then you can fight. Most of us are low-middle class citizens, so you know exactly what I mean. BLEND IN, you won't believe the amount of fighters that I've seen in my country that didn't and now go to aid points to get warm food because they're too broke to afford it and I live in a first world country.
You’ve brought up some very real and important points here. The financial reality of fighting is harsh-even at the top level, most fighters don’t make enough to live comfortably, let alone cover all the associated costs like physiotherapy, trainers, and travel. It’s a sport that demands incredible sacrifices, and you’re right-without a solid plan for life outside the ring, it’s all too easy to end up in a tough spot later on. That’s why I stress the importance of balancing your work life and fight life. ruclips.net/video/mWKQtNA8ZKg/видео.html Fighting doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing choice-it can coexist with a career or education. In fact, many of the most successful fighters are also thinking ahead, building skills or careers they can lean on when their fight career winds down. Fighting should enrich your life, not leave you regretting missed opportunities. It’s about making smart decisions, pursuing your passion without neglecting the bigger picture. If you’ve got that balance right, you can achieve success both inside and outside the ring. Keep striving, and don’t let the challenges overshadow the incredible growth and lessons the sport brings. 👊
