Ramon Dekkers tribute: a true legend of Muay Thai and pioneer for farang fighting in Thailand.

Get a taxi in Bangkok and try to talk Muay Thai - if you say you're from Europe, chances are they'll mention Ramon Dekkers. Him, Rob Kaman, and to a lesser extent Liam Harrison and Damien Alamos are the farang they'll know.

But Dekkers was head and shoulders above with regards to coming over here and absolutely smashing some of the top Thais around.

Dekkers is one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up gloves

RIP to a true legend of Muay Thai.


thanks mate. Spread the word, help the Samurai Life baby grow.



As for Dekkers, man there's no one in MMA history quite like him. Fedor / Anderson level-talent, but went through such a tougher schedule with so, so many more wars. Fought injured so many times. Fought with such tenacity. Christ, he was special, everyone in MT is gutted about his death



He's like Wanderlei Silva but with Fedor/Anderson talent and more fights. Absolute savage.
