Phuket has always been a popular draw for professional fighters, with its beautiful beaches, world class Muay Thai and the growing amount of high level MMA gyms on the island.
Among those is Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA, which has quickly grown to be among the top destination gyms in the region. Spearheaded by head coach George Hickman, the new facility has already drawn numerous MMA stars. They’ve hosted UFC champions Alex Volkanovski and Jiri Prochazka since opening in April, and they also have some of the biggest stars in the Asian region currently working with them.
As seen on Bloody Elbow’s photo gallery below, that line up includes former UFC champion Weili Zhang, who is about to host her second fight camp with Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA.
