If you don't know anything about Muay Thai, this guy is just...god. Like you know how in kung fu movies there's a tiny master who beats up western guys like 3x his size and does it without trying, but you know that's just movie shit? Saenchai really is that guy and he's been doing it on a professional stage for like 25 years.

From wiki:

Saenchai won the Lumpinee Stadium title, which is widely considered the most prestigious title in Muay Thai, in four different weight divisions, while mostly fighting larger opponents. He is considered by many to be the best pound for pound Muay Thai fighter, and is regarded as one of the best fighters of all time.[3][4][5] Saenchai would often give up weight to find worthy opponents in Thailand, and from 2003-2014 only lost two times in Thailand when the weights were equal,[6][7] with all other losses happening when he was forced to have a weight disadvantage to make the fights more evenly matched. Against foreigners the gap in skill is so great he will go up over 20 pounds above his optimal weight class.

The other part that everyone loves about him is that he's really fucking funny. Like he's laughing through every fight and teasing his opponent, but it never seems mean-spirited or disrespectful. It's just like a 4 year old playing pillow fights or something, except brutal.
