MALAIPET RETURNS TO THE CAGE AT SHOXC AGAINST KO ARTIST "TARZAN"
Malaipet "Diamond" Sithprapom is perhaps the most celebrated and accomplished Muay Thai fighter in the sport of MMA. He's a fighter who has achieved numerous titles in his native land’s national sport over his 250+ fight career.
Malaipet made his ShoXC debut nearly one year ago, and with high expectations from fans and fighters alike, demonstrated the powerful precision of Muay Thai in a decision victory over Kaleo Kwan. Things were looking on the up and ups.
Last March, Malaipet made his second appearance at ShoXC when he squared off against the crafty veteran Thomas "Wildman" Denny.
While much of the fight exposed Malaipet's newness to ground fighting, it also displayed his incredible toughness, fighting spirit, and deadly strikes. The end of the fight saw Denny crumpled on the canvas courtesy of vicious elbow strikes that were ultimately deemed illegal-- costing Malaipet a chance at victory.
Now, on September 26th at ShoXC, Malaipet returns to the cage against Cesar Gracie fighter David "Tarzan" Douglas.
Tarzan, the self-proclaimed "King of the Concrete Jungle", is a 27 year old powerhouse who brings intensity, aggression, and heavy hands to the cage. A student of Gracie Jiu Jitsu for 3+ years, he also possesses competency on the ground
In the past four weeks, he has fought twice for ProElite-- notching two TKO victories in a combined time of less than 90 seconds.
Will Tarzan's raw power and aggression prove to be too much for the Muay Thai Legend? Or will Malaipet's precise counter striking and vast experience put him back in the win column and derail Douglas' momentum? All questions will be answered on September 26th.
On paper, this bout stands to be one of the most entertaining of the evening. Don't blink.
