Highlights are a fun way to get into watching a sport. If you don't know what a highlight is, it's basically a mash up of the "greatest hits" of a fighter, or a sport. It's all the best "wow that was awesome" moments put together.
I think with Muay Thai in particular, it is a great tool for showing off the highest levels of the sport. Everybody knows what striking in MMA looks like, but a Muay Thai highlight of a top ranked MT fighter gives a really great glimpse of the best that the 8 weapons have to offer. If you don't watch a lot of Muay Thai, this is one way to get started.
Sometimes highlights can be great for providing motivation too.
Here are some really well put together highlight reels of top Thai talent. I'll bet that many of you have probably never heard of any of these guys. Now you have.
