There is one new entrant into the rankings, Shane Campbell comes in at number three after making his return to Muay Thai this past June with a knockout of Nate Chambers. Chaz Mulkey drops from number two to five after a two fight skid.
1. Ky Hollenbeck (15-1-1)
Hollenbeck has bounced back from his lone career defeat in November of 2010 by running through Cyrus Washington and Michael Corley. Hollenbeck scored dominating first round (T)KO’s in both fights. He is now set to face Ekpracha “Hitman” Meenoytin on August 18th at Push Kick Promotions “Thailand vs. The Americas”. Afterwards Hollenbeck will be competing at the Glory Final 8 on November 3rd and will be looking to best a field that included such names as Giorgio Petrosyan, Albert Kraus and Robin van Roosmalen to win the $300,000 prize.
2. Jesse Miles (14-3)
Miles scored an exciting knockout victory over Wattana Sit Jor at the Jawbreaker 3 event this past January in Canada. The win followed his run on the TV reality show “The Challenger Muaythai”. Currently Miles next fight is still to be determined, although in the last year he has taken some high profile fights and fans shouldn’t be surprised if that happens once again.
3. Shane Campbell (45-10)
Shane “Shaolin” Campbell had been away from Muay Thai action for three years when he got the call to step back into the ring and take place in the Journey Fight Series 160lb tournament on short notice. Campbell had no problem stepping in between MMA fights and it was as if he never left. He scored a dominating first round knockout of Nate Chambers in the opening round of the tournament. He is now set to face up and comer Troy Sheridan in the next round of the tournament which is scheduled to take place on November 3rd.
4. Remy Bonnel (55-8)
Bonnel last saw action at Lion Fight Promotions “Battle in the Desert 3” in August of 2011 when he dropped a razor thin split decision to Chaz Mulkey. His only other fight of 2011 was a (T)KO victory over Singsiri Por Sirichai in February at Lion Fight Promotions first event. Since then Bonnel has not competed and it is currently unknown when he will return to action.

5. Chaz Mulkey (8-6)
Mulkey has had an excellent 2011 campaign, going 5-0 and securing victories over top fighters such as Simon Chu and Remy Bonnel. Unfortunately for Mulkey his 2012 campaign has gotten off to a rough start. Gregory Choplin defeated him by unanimous decision in February under the Lion Fight Muay Thai banner and then in April Mulkey lost at Thai Fight against Bernueng Topking Boxing. Mulkey will be looking to get back on the winning track when he competes in the K-1 Max 8-man tournament in Los Angeles on September 8th.
