How to overcome your fears in the ring? Muay Thai legend Sagat Petchyindee recounts his fight against another giant of the sport Dieselnoi, and shares his amusing strategy. 62 year-old Sagat is the real life inspiration of the Street Fighter character. He holds 11 title belts in Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Boxing, and has knocked out his opponents in 151 out of 317 fights. Flashback to 51 years ago, 11-year-old Sagat fought in his first Muay Thai fight. A sign of the legendary badass that he would grow up to be, he fought not just once, but for 3 nights in a row. The rule of the fight is that you have to knock out your opponent to win. Young Sagat won 2 out of his first 3 fights. His fight purse in those days? 10 Baht (about USD 30 cents today). 1 Baht back then gets you 2 bowls of noodles.
True..they are martial arts goat...but sadly, people recognize more of moviestar bruce lee, jet li, tony jaa etc..then a true master of martial art like dieselnoi, sagat, samart..
@@icedmocha6670 bruce lee was not just a movie actor he was trained in several arts unlike these muay thai fighters that train muay thai their whole lives and never discover other arts so they are limites. Bruce lee would kill these thai fighters in a street fight. Martial arts are for killing on the battlefield.
@@12shah74 do u know that muay thai came from muay boran?An ancient thai martial arts used in battlefield to kill people....this art is exist way long before the jeet kune do or probably even wing chun itself...muay thai is a combat sport version of it..just like sanda to kung fu..
Damn, watching this makes me smile so much, he seems so happy and cool, he's just like a kid, its just insane to think he was a monster back in the days.
Sagat has a backstory in that when he was a young and upcoming fighter he challenged the current Muay Thai Emperor at that time, and after a brutal fight Sagat won.That fight in his backstory between the real Sagat and Dieselnoi was loosely based on this.
I punch , he knee , I punch , he knee , such perfect said . In my opinion , Dieselnoi fought harder fight against Sagat more than Samart . I think Dieselnoi very happy finally someone can 'Hurt" him very good.
Dieselnoi was pretty scary tho,Sagat must have been starving to stand toe to toe with an abnormaly tall dude who's obssessed with kneeing people in the face,he wanted those noodles bad
Thank you for this. If only we could all experience the same joy from even the most mundane of accomplishments... edit - OUR own everyday mundane accomplishments...not his exceedingly exceptional ones. Just wanted to make that clear.
Fun fact: FATAL FURY & KOF character Joe Higashi is loosely based on the two other Muay Thai legends- Saenchai & Baukaw Fatal Fury Incarnation os based on Saenchai While KOF incarnation being based on Baukaw according to an interview with on of the series creators
lawrence! have you heard about don wilson? he was an oldschool fullcontact fighter that got titles in many different kickboxing organisations, even fought against thai fighter and won! You could do a video about him. Nice video by the way, i cant even imagine how it fells to fight at 11 years old.
then and now thai baht are very different my bro. 10 baht that time like 200 - 300 baht for today 1 baht=25 satang My grand told me she buy 1 cup of noodle for around 25 satang - 50 satang in her childhood 80 years ago and now she 84 years old
Fear does not benefit you it can’t make you perform well it can’t make you rich it can’t make you love fear is a miscommunication between the mind and body what you can do with fear is use it as a tool to help you move forward and keep moving forward by facing fear 🙏
Ouch. So, 10 Boht is only about .33¢ .33¢ for a full contact bout is damned sparce! I don't think they get paid any better today either! Poor kids! But you got to love their heart & fighting spirit! 👍😎

Hi, I'm a big fan of your work! So when is the book coming out? Will it be out this year at least?
@@tenkencephas4016 What book? Is it about Sagat? I wanna read too:)
Trump scares you sissy

It pains me that titans of martial arts like Sagat, Dieselnoi, Samart etc are not well recognized outside the scene. These guys are legends.

@@icedmocha6670 yes i do know that but these thai fighters you named are not trained in muay boran they are trained in muay thai.
@@12shah74 how do u know bruce lee would kill this thai fighters ? Any prove of record that bruce fought agains muay thai champion in his time ?
I love how he smiles like he remembers the fight like it was yesterday
All Muay Thai fights should be valued in bowls of noodles
LoL! I wonder how this would affect "locker room bonuses"
I love how friendly his smile is; isn't it funny how the truly humble are the most terrifying 🤔🤔🤔
Yeah, he would have to be fearless to fight Dieselnoi, that guy is scary.
Damn, watching this makes me smile so much, he seems so happy and cool, he's just like a kid, its just insane to think he was a monster back in the days.
Anybody who could beat a prime dieselnoi is an absolute savage of the highest degree.
Dieselnoi was a monster.
Love the man. I'm glad he's still around
sagat seems like really humble guy love how he thinks to make himself not scared on the ring Haha
Great Wisdom from a Great Man
Thank you for providing this interview. A true warrior.

Legendary Sagat! God Bless you!
legend
Couldn’t stop smiling watching this legend
2 words. Simply beautiful!

Fatal Fury Incarnation os based on Saenchai

He seems to be very innocent as a person😊 the charm on his face is real❤
He has the best stories.
Awesome man
IMO, placing tree leaves and plant leaves on the ring floor is great idea.
So he deal with his fear by telling himself " Sagat! No fear" . i see i see. ok. i see. .
Great story 🥊
Whats the First Song playing
What a legend
It's so true
Nice~👏👍
Yeah but did he ever overcome the trauma of Ryu ripping his chest in half? 🥋🥊
Is sagat still training people?
If so where in Thailand???
You should make video of deiselnoi
I see footage of him at 13 coins but also at other gyms, where would one go to train with and meet this legend?
He is still teaching private in 13-coin gym. You can train with him.
@@dragb6281 awesome thanks
was his first fight leithwei or something?
lawrence! have you heard about don wilson? he was an oldschool fullcontact fighter that got titles in many different kickboxing organisations, even fought against thai fighter and won! You could do a video about him.
Nice video by the way, i cant even imagine how it fells to fight at 11 years old.
Damn, what kind of parents did he have?! 😂🤣😂
😂 thaï parents u guess
asian parents 🤣
For comparison to Australians, 10 baht = 50 cents (australian cents)
2 bowl noodle at that time is 1bath
1 bowl noodle at 2020 is 40 bath
It mean 10 bath at that times is like 800 bath nowadays
Did Dieselnoi ever actually face fighters his size (in height)? 🤔
Rare for asians to get that tall tbh
Wow just Wow
"you know the tall one?" LOL.
then and now thai baht are very different my bro. 10 baht that time like 200 - 300 baht for today 1 baht=25 satang
My grand told me she buy 1 cup of noodle for around 25 satang - 50 satang in her childhood 80 years ago and now she 84 years old
So they based sagat from street fighter on this guy im assuming
Yes, Sagat, Samart Payakaroon, and Diesonol
His body is fit
Fear does not benefit you it can’t make you perform well it can’t make you rich it can’t make you love fear is a miscommunication between the mind and body what you can do with fear is use it as a tool to help you move forward and keep moving forward by facing fear 🙏
My mum is not as scary as him, unless she has a slipper in hand.
Adorable
my mans fought Fahkumram
Tiger Uppercut !!!!!
How many Boht equal a dollar?
Ouch.
So, 10 Boht is only about .33¢
.33¢ for a full contact bout is damned sparce! I don't think they get paid any better today either!
Poor kids!
But you got to love their heart & fighting spirit!
👍😎
@@dannyarnold4201 then and now thai baht are very different my bro. 10 baht that time like 200 - 300 baht for today 1 baht=25 satang
My grand told me she buy 1 cup of noodle for around 25 satang - 50 satang
fight me!
Just one tiger uppercut ko🤣
10 baht for his first fight? What is that, like 10 cents?
25 now. Back then, probably a few euro's/dollars. Converted to thai standards, it's 10-15 bucks at the most.
@@TheMylittletony i dont know man. He said like 3 soups. Now a soup is like 20 baht? In The country side probobly alot less.
Anyways. Wow
I wonder if the sagat character idea came from this fight? 🤔 tall fighter vs actual sagat= SF Sagat 😂
Lookswise, and backstory and techniques wise- Sagat
Personality and height- Dieselnoi and Samart Payakaroon
Great respect to him. Tiger uppercaaaaat!
