Tiger Muay Thai’s Cyrus Washington wins “bare knuckle” fight in Myanmar then gives back belt!

After knocking out his opponent in the 2nd round with a vicious elbow because he had already broken his hand, Tiger Muay Thai and MMA training camp, Phuket, Thailand fighter, Cyrus Washington, found out the fight was just beginning.

Washington had accepted the invitation to fight Myanmar (Burmese) superstar Saw Nga and was watching his opponent being counted out, but the referee didn’t stop at 10 and kept counting giving the hometown hero Nga a chance to recover as they called a 2-minute break.

“He got up walked around with the referee giving him the “Lewhay” 20 count. His corner decided to call a again “Lewhay” 2 minute rest/timeout-crazy,” said Washington.

Nga spent the rest of the fight running from Washington and going to the mat at every engagement of the clinch trying to protect his badly swollen eye from any further damage from Washington’s kicks and clinch.

Washington was awarded the championship belt after the fight despite the hometown judges awarding a draw.

“I cut off the ring or get him in the corner he falls all to aviod getting hit in the eye,normally the referee stops a fight when a fighter avoids engaging out of fear! So at the end they offically declared it a draw but because of him breaking the rules, whatever they were because they kept changing them ,and me beating his ass,they offered me the belt anyway, I refused,” said Washington.

Tiger Muay Thai fighter Cyrus Washington “Goes Bare” in Burma

Tiger Muay Thai and MMA training camp, Phuket, Thailand fighter, Cyrus Washington is set to compete in a “Bare Knuckles” style Vale Tudo fight across the border in the military ruled junta country of Burma on September 26, 2010.
These type of fights are outlawed in Thailand but draw large crowds and gambling atmosphere show in the hit hollywood movie Kickboxer starring Jean Claude Van Dam.
Washington will need to be looking his best and bring his Black belt skills in Tai Kwon Do and Jeet Koon Do along with his skills in Muay Tha to compete in the brutal style of Burmese bare knuckle fighting which has few if any rules.
Head butts and other illegal in Muay Thai strikes are legal in these non-sanctioned fights where guests come merely to see blood and the fierce skills of the men fighting. Washington, never one to back down from an opponent and who gives himself completely over to fight sports is looking at this as a long awaited experience to fight in an event offered in few places in the world legally.
