Three of the best Muay Thai fighters of the era have started cross dressing. We aren’t sure why but Tawanchai PKSaenchaigym, Saenchai PKSaenchaigym and Rodtang Jitmuangnon all posed wearing women’s clothing yesterday.
Out of the three Rodtang definitely looked the most comfortable and he was also the only one to share the photo on Instagram with a caption, that might have come courtesy if Google Translate, which stated,
This is another form of me.

Hardest men
Neither Tawanchai nor Saenchai have shared the photo. But Liam Harrison has and there have been nearly 3,000 comments and counting with the Englishman writing that,
If someone told you these three are quite possibly the three hardest men on planet earth and three of the greatest fighters in any sports from the last 30 years what would you say?
Tawanchai left a comment, telling the Englishman that ‘I was forced’. With 1.1 million followers on Instagram the most famous of the three is clearly Saenchai.
Many regard him as being the best Muay Thai fighter of the century. But he was also one of the first fighters to understand the importance of social media and frequently posts videos of himself puling pranks, as well as footage from his 300+ fights.

Two opponents
Tawanchai is the reigning ONE Championship featherweight Muay Thai king. Rodtang holds the promotion’s flyweight Muay Thai title while Saenchai is coming towards the end of his career.
During his peak Saenchai was so dominant in the Bangkok stadiums that he was once asked to fight two opponents during the course of a single fight, and he still won.
Saenchai and Rodtang both have a reputation for being jokers. But Tawanchai comes across as a little more serious which might explain his reluctance to pose in the photo.
Tawanchai and Saenchai are both fighting out of the PKSaenchai Gym in Bangkok. Rodtang represents the Jitmuangnon Gym in Nonthaburi but seems to train at a few different camps.
Rodtang is expected to face Takeru next in what would clearly be the biggest match of the Thai fighter’s career. They are three of the best fighters of the era but they don’t seem to mind having a bit of fun together!
