TMT Alumni Yasubey Enomoto shocks the Japanese MMA scene as he beats former ADCC Champion Sanae Kikuta in Tokyo Japan.

Tiger Muay Thai and MMA Phuket Alumni Yasubey Enomoto shocked the Japanese MMA world when he beat former ADCC Champion Sanae Kikuta this weekend in Tokyo Japan.  Fighting for the number one organization in Japan Sengoku, Yasubey, relatively new in his career was brought in as a heavy underdog against the Japanese fighter.

Kikuta has notable wins against Elvis Sinosic, Egan Inoue, Masanori Suda, and Eugene Jackson.
With other Notable fights against Renzo Gracie, Yuki Kondo, and Murilo Bustamante, to say Yasubey had the cards stacked against him would be an understatement.  Showing the fearless heart of a warrior, Yasubey took the center of the ring dropping Kikuta with a perfectly timed punch before finishing him on the ground.

Yasubey along with his brother Felipe run the Enomoto Dojo in Switzerland and have been multiple time guest at Tiger Muay Thai.

Wanting to train at TMT for this fight, Yasubey ran into visa issues while waiting on paper work from Sengoku that made it impossible for him to fit in the travel during his training camp.  Look for Yasubey and Felipe to be back at TMT shortly for another training trip.

Yasubey and his brother Philip have trained at TMT several time and the last time Yasubey gave fee MMA seminar to Tiger uay Thai and MMA guests. Here is a video of Yasubey training Muay Thai with Advanced Muay Thai Instructor Kru Ritt.

Muhsin Corbbrey (Tiger Muay Thai and MMA, Thailand) Gets Back to Winning Ways at Martial Combat 4 on ESPN

Martial Combat 4 provided another fantastic night of action at Resorts World Sentosa. Highly-rated Filipino fighter Eduard Folayang and world renowned American Muhsin Corbbrey both came away with wins, but it was a Singapore-based fighter who stole the show.

Muhsin Corbbrey is a world renowned MMA fighter who has featured on some of the biggest promotions in the world. He was looking to put in an eye-catching performance against the unbeaten Wu Cheng Jie. Corbbrey, fighting for Tiger Muay thai and MMA Training camp, Phuket, Thailand had clearly cut a lot of weight and looked considerably larger and as the fight began Cheng Jie was understandably reluctant to engage.

The Chinese fighter circled away from Corbbrey who became frustrated and began to gesticulate towards his opponent, urging him to come forward. Sensibly Cheng Jie resisted the temptation to exchange strikes with the professional boxer and was able to land a few counters of his own. Corbrey was scoring with some heavy leg kicks, but Cheng Jie was able to catch one and send Corbbrey to the canvass. It proved to be a fatal error as the American is deadly on his back.

Corbbrey first attempted an armbar and from there transitioned into the mount. Once he had secured a dominant position there was simply nowhere for Cheng Jie to run and he was on the receiving end of some vicious elbows which left the referee little option but to step in and stop the fight.

The Evolve MMA team had a disappointing night last night as their fighter Zorobabel Moreira was on the wrong end of a vicious early knockout. Brazilian Arthur Cesar was able to make it two wins out of two tonight with a submission win over South Korean stand up specialist Yun Seob Kwak.

The fans in attendance all went home happy and will be looking forward to next month’s excitinginstallment of the Martial Combat series.

Tiger Muay Thai and MMA scores “KO of the Night” and goes 2-2 in Martial Combat, Singapore June 16-17, 2010

Tiger Muay Thai and MMA training camp, Phuket, Thailand took the show on the road again for an International Fight Card held at Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore.  Working as Color Commentator for the ESPN broadcast, which will be shown in 24 different countries to a broadcast of over 310 million homes MMA head instructor Ray Elbe called the action while assistant Instructor Andreas Hesselback worked as head cornerman for the event. The Martial Combat event was held over two days with four TMT fighters being represented.

In the “Knockout of the Night,” Tiger Muay Thai fighter Joe Ray of the Freestyle Fighting Academy in Miami Florida faced an accomplished World Champion Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt named Zoro Moreria of the Evolve gym.  Zoro, one of the head MMA and Grappling instructors at the multimillion dollar Evolve Martial Arts training facility was a perfect 3-0 heading into the bout and was expected to showcase his grappling in a matchup against TMT’s striking specialist.
Joe Ray taking the center of the cage landed a perfect left hook-straight right combination against Zoro, who has been cross training in Muay Thai under Chatri Sityodtong for the last 6 months, crumbling him to the mat just 14 seconds after the bout began, it was all over with Joe Ray improving his MMA record to 3-0 with a devastating KO victory.

In the other matchup of the night, Ian Bone of Australia saw his professional MMA record fall to 9-4 when he lost to American Matt Delanoit via RNC.  Ian suffering from a bad case of “Pink Eye” was unable to train at full steam leading up to the bout, and it showed during the bout.  Getting takendown off the fence Ian attempted several triangle attempts before having his back taken and being forced to submit.

Day 2 of the Martial Combat event featured TMT Alumni Muhsin Corbbrey against a Chinese World Sanda Champion named Wu Cheng Jie.  Corbbrey a WEC and Elite XC veteran dominated the fight from start to finish, showboating in the ring as he chased down the running fighter from one section of the cage to the next.  After having a kick caught Corbbrey was tripped to the mat where he quickly transitioned to an armbar before giving up the submission for position.  Taking mount Corbbrey finished the bout via TKO with a series of brutal elbows from on top.

Falling to 0-3 in professional MMA, Cyrus Washington had a tough matchup when he faced Legacy Gym’s head grappling instructor Malik Malawai.  Cyrus a veteran of over 50+ Muay Thai fights has had limited success in MMA, but has decided that if he is going to continue fighting in “Mixed Martial Arts” he will continue to cross train in the MMA program.  Next up for Cyrus is a Muay Thai bout at Lumpinee Stadium.
