Our team traveled down to Illinois for another excellent Maximus event on September 12th!

Eliot Woods beat a tough opponent with solid ring control, devastating clinch knees, and a knockdown in Round 1 AND 2. Both knockdowns were caused by sharp, damaging jabs from Eliot — amazing work!

Liam Whitney fought an elusive opponent who navigated the ring well and applied pressure at the right times. It was an extremely technical matchup and only Liam’s 3rd fight (on short notice too). We know what to work on and we’re proud of him!

Ben had a solid first round getting his rhythm + landing solid right hands and low kick counters. He got hit with a damaging toe kick, and although Ben made the count of 10, the ref waved it off. On 6 days notice and fighting for the first time in 5 years we are honored to watch our Coach perform. We’ll never make excuses as fighters. We know the risk and the challenges that might present themselves. Ben took this fight with almost zero striking training in the last few months. We know what would happen with a full camp 💯

Congrats to all of our athletes who showed up, made weight, and displayed their skills inside the cage. Thank you to Maximus and Rich Abraham for allowing Muay Thai + K1 to grow in the USA and giving these athletes a platform to perform. And a special thanks to Coaches Grady Pesch, C.J. Hays, and Sam Bailey for making the drive and cornering our fighters!
