Muay Thai Guy Podcast – Episode 97 Chris Bradford performing the ceremonial Wai Kru. Photo by W.L. Photography Chris Bradford is a Muay Thai veteran who has been in the ring dozens of times against tough, game opponents. But he says that strapping on 4oz MMA gloves and stepping into a steel cage is quite a different feeling than fighting with the traditional 8oz boxing gloves in a ring... and I tend to believe him. In this episode of the Muay Thai Guy podcast, Chris and I discuss his career, his retirement and what his goals are now that he's decided to step into the ring. We cover a wide variety of topics including: How he got his start in martial arts in Kyokushin Karate and then eventually graduated to Muay Thai. What is was like stepping into the cage for the first time with MMA gloves and how the feeling differs from a regular fight. How he changed his game plan to fit the Caged Muay Thai style and why that was important to his success. The feeling of losing a world title fight and how he was able to overcome the defeat. His biggest triumph over a tough Thai fighter, Waytharan Sitsongpeenong that no one thought he could beat. What it's like training fighters and training himself at the same time, and how it eventually lead to his retirement. Why and how he decided to start the Prestige Fight Series promotion. How he's able to balance all these different areas of his life. And much, MUCH more.
