Another Muay Thai Champion is Born!




Tonight, Mitch "The Dragon" Chilson from the Evolve Fight Team became the 147 lbs Thepprasit Stadium Champion in Thailand with a beautiful 4th round TKO victory over Nopadol, a young Lumpinee fighter and a rising star. Mitch was a staggering 7 to 1 underdog heading into the fight. His opponent is younger, faster, stronger, and more experienced. Mitch won with pure heart, excellent footwork, solid technique, and a creative game plan. Thank you to Kru Saknarong Sityodtong and Kru Yodsanan Sityodtong for cornering Mitch to victory.

Mitch has been training very hard under the legendary Evolve Muay Thai Instructor Team, learning from legends and World Champions like Namsaknoi, Orono, Yoddecha, Lamnammoon, Muangfalek, Kongtoranee, Yodsanan, and many others. With 15 full time instructors and over 2,000 professional fights, the Evolve Muay Thai Team is the largest Muay Thai team outside of Thailand and one of the most decorated in the entire world. As Kru Yodtong Senanan, the head of Sityodtong Camp, has always stressed, "to be the best, you must surround yourself with the best - the best teachers, the best training partners, the best friends, the best family." Kru Saknarong Sityodtong has been grooming Mitch under his watchful eye over the last 2 years. During this time, Mitch's Muay Thai game has increased 10 fold in terms of technique, speed, power, and general ringmanship. When he first joined the Evolve Fight Team, Mitch was an intermediate Muay Thai fighter. His transformation has been incredible and he is now a good professional Muay Thai fighter and a Thailand Champion!

Congratulations to Mitch "The Dragon" Chilson on his 3rd championship belt in less than 1 year!
