Muaythai Premier League's 4th event postponed due to Thailand floods

The Muaythai Premier League's (MPL) fourth event was scheduled to take place December 5th in Thailand in Celebartion of the Kings Birthday. Unfortunately the floods that have occurred in Thailand have forced the postponement of the event. The event is now expected to take place in early 2012.

The MPL made its debut in September of 2011 and has held three events which have featured some of the best fighters in the world. Buakaw made his American debut under the MPL banner as well as a host of other fighters such as Artem Levin and Nathan Corbett.

Below is the official press release by Warrior Caste Productions, the production company of the MPL.

Muaythai Premier League President/CEO Clifton Brown talks about the upcoming league

The Muay Thai world received a huge announcement on Thursday when Warrior Caste Productions and the World Muaythai Council unveiled the Muaythai Premier League. Muay Thai Authority was able to catch up with Muaythai Premier League President/CEO Clifton Brown regarding the upcoming Muay Thai league.

MTA: You just unveiled the Muaythai Premier League, and boy was it ever an unveiling. How were you able to keep everything under the radar until the press conference?

Clifton Brown: It was a challenge to keep everything under the radar, but it was necessary. Building a project like this requires a lot of a work and preparation with so many things having to line up at the right moment. Timing is everything. We always kept it in mind for the sake of the Sport, the fans, and the competitors, the importance of being ready. So it was important for us at Warrior Caste to make sure we had as many of the pieces in place as possible, before the launch.
