Logan Stanton is the newest, freshest UFC ring-girl from Niceville, FL. And nice she is!
Ever made it to Thailand? If not, what’s your idea of it?
No I haven’t but I would LOVE to go. I’m fascinated with their culture!
What was a typical day’s schedule when you moved to Miami alone?
Lets see.. I’d roll out of bed around 9 or 10 (depending on what kind of trouble I got into the night before), go for a run on the boardwalk, go to a couple castings, meet my friends on the beach for a few hours, grab lunch at Lime (my favorite spot in Miami) and then go out that night. It’s a rough lifestyle but somebody has to do it
Have you ever tried Muay Thai or Kickboxing?
I haven’t, but since getting involved with the UFC I would love to try it.
Favourite Muay Thai style fighter?
I don’t have a favorite yet
Do you prefer watching a stand-up or a ground game fight?
Definitely a stand-up.
What perks come with working for the biggest MMA organization in the world?
Great seats! Haha seriously though.. I’ve always wanted to travel and I’ve done more traveling in these past 3 months than I have done in my entire life. I’ve also met some amazing people.
Did you watch any MMA before being a ring girl?
I watched UFC quite a bit actually.
You have a killer body, how’s your nutrition? Ever been on a diet?
Thank you! I think I eat pretty healthy for the most part. I love to work out which actually motivates me to eat better. Although.. I do love my sweets!
Now for some quick-fire ones:
What is sexier? An MMA fighter or a humorous guy?
A humorous guy. I love it when a guy can make me laugh
You a Mac or PC?
Mac
iPhone or Blackberry?
iPhone. I’ll admit that I do miss my Blackberry at times though.. Like when Arianny’s BBM is going off in the dressing room.
Partying or chilling?
Chilling. Although when I do feel like partying I prefer a house party to a club.
Rock or Pop?
Neither. I listen to mostly R&B or Country.
CSI Miami or CSI Las Vegas?
Miami. Even though I find David Caruso a LITTLE creepy..
If you are interested in Muay Thai fighting you can get started no matter your background or vision for the future. Simply put, you don’t have to be anybody special to get started with Muay Thai fighting. That being said, you need to be devoted to the craft and have an idea of what you want to accomplish in the future.
You can be a Muay Thai amateur or become a professional. Either way, the good thing is that you are practicing your craft and doing something that you love. Many people stick to amateur status because this gives them the chance to fight on an on-again off-again basis. In other words, amateurs do not have to be as serious as professionals fighters; even though they often times are.
If you are interested in Muay Thai fighting because you want to become a professional you are not alone. More and more professional fighters are incorporating Muay Thai into their technique. While most of them are not using “straight Muay Thai fighting” they are falling back on some traditional techniques as a way of bettering their odds in the ring. This is also known as mixed martial arts or MMA, where the fighter incorporates more than one fighting discipline.
Just because you are practicing Muay Thai does not mean that you ever have to get into the ring and use it in a real match. This is up to you, and you need to make up your mind on how far you want to take your love of this Thai national sport.
You can get involved with Muay Thai fighting as a hobby, as an amateur, or to eventually become a professional. No matter what you decide on you are sure to have a good time.
Thank you to those of you that asked a question in the Saenchai interview questions post! Most of them have been answered, although I had to paraphrase quite a bit and some questions were totally omitted as we believe that Saenchai didn’t answer them with much interest or we kind of veered off somewhere else. So my apologies if your questions didn’t get in, or they were asked in a completely different way.
The clips of the training are shot in HD and the video of the epic fight at Lumpini are all exclusive and belong solely to TalkMuayThai.com. They are a mix between the fight of Saenchai vs. Petchboonchu and his training before the fight. As you may already know, he had to drop 10kgs to be in the same weight-class as Petchboonchu.
Once again, the questions were not mine, they were from the people that have taken the time to post their queries in an earlier post.
Saenchai Sor Kingstar Q&A Note: Apologies for a slight misspelling of his name. Was noticed post-editing.
Hope you liked it! Stay tuned for the next world-class fighter we’ll showcase. For those that missed asking a question this time, make sure you get them in for next time!
Wow. What an amazing fight! I was lucky enough to get to be in Saenchai’s corner and catch it all on video, although being in the corner doesn’t really help once they get into a position where I can’t film. But it’s the best I could do!
Lumpini stadium was on fire tonight! It’s awesome to be able to watch a fight live and it’s also amazing to be part of the entourage! Hopefully there’s more to come!
The main talking point about tonight’s fight was that Saenchai (arguably the best pound for pound Muay Thai fighter in the world) had to shed off 10kg’s to fight Petchboonchu. At the weigh-in, he was initially 2kg’s overweight, but managed it and got fighting.
Were any of you reading this there? Do share!
Anyway, I’ve talked too much, here’s the video! Saenchai vs. Petchboonchu Part 1
Saenchai vs. Petchboonchu Part 2
Bonus: Here’s a pic I took in the gentlemen’s restroom area (where the nak muays change and prepare). It reads “No punishing Nak Muays”. Gulp I guess back in the day, losing was a crappy deal. Lose on stage, then get physical harm backstage as well!
