Highlight video from YOKKAO 17&18
Highlight video
YOKKAO 17&18 made waves throughout the Muay Thai community and I have the highlight video here from the events that went down. There was only one place that Muay Thai fans in the UK should have been in March and that was at the Macron stadium in Bolton. YOKKAO is going from strength to strength in the UK and worldwide, displaying the best of the best from all over the world, bringing them all under one roof and making history in the process.
Two world titles were up for grabs that night, the YOKKAO world titles at 65kg and also 70kg. Liam Harrison took on Tetsuya Yamato for the 65kg world title and Sanny Dahlbeck defended his title against another one of the bad co. boys Jordan Watson in a revenge match up for the 70kg title. Among these fights were a collection of fantastic fights of which I am sure you will grasp from the highlight video above.
Here are the full results from both YOKKAO 17&18:

As you can see there were some big names competing at this event. It makes me wonder how they will top this. With the recent release of Jordan Watson vs Reece McAllister for the 70kg YOKKAO world title at YOKKAO 20, it is set to be another sell out event.
