Fighter Profile: Yoddecha Sityodtong



I don't have too much info on Yoddecha, although he was definitely one of the greatest fighters of his time. According to evolve-mma.com (where he currently teaches in Singapore), he has a fight record of 145-37. I think he fought around 145-155lbs

Unless he's made a comeback, I believe he's retired.

He was known for his aggressive style of fighting, with a lot of high kicks involved.

It's also notable that he trains out of Sityodtong Gym under Kru Yodtong Senanan, probably the most renowned Muay Thai trainer in Thailand and around the world.

He was featured in the History Channel series "Human Weapon"
