Dead Broke in Thailand: My Muay Thai Survival Story

🎯 What does it really take to become an elite Muay Thai fighter in Thailand as a foreigner?

🇨🇾 Savvas Michael takes us on a powerful journey from his childhood in Cyprus to fighting under the lights of Thailand’s most prestigious Muay Thai stadiums.

💰 At just 16 years old, Savvas arrived in Thailand with only €200 in his pocket and a dream. His raw story—living inside a Bangkok gym with 30 Thai fighters, enduring 12km runs every morning, and fighting monthly just to survive—reveals the real life behind the fighter you see today.

🥊 What makes this episode truly valuable is Savvas’ insider breakdown of Thailand’s Muay Thai world:

The key differences between 5-round stadium fights 🏟️ and tourist-friendly TV show fights 📺

How scoring, strategy, and styles change depending on where you're fighting

The psychological warfare behind weight cuts, balance, and mindset 🧠

💥 We also dive into the evolution of Muay Thai—as global promotions like ONE Championship change the landscape, expectations, and opportunities for fighters worldwide.

🧘‍♂️ From nutrition protocols to visualizing his future in MMA, Savvas opens up about what it really means to go all in. This conversation is a masterclass in discipline, focus, and the mentality of a world-class athlete.

Whether you're a Muay Thai addict or just love stories of grit and glory, this raw conversation will change how you see the fight game forever. 👊
