The Challenger Muaythai blog - Mostafa Abdollahi

by Mostafa Abdollahi

I was the Iranian Muaythai team captain for several years and earned a few medals in different international Muaythai competitions. I was one of the last fighters to be chosen to enter the Challenger Muaythai from the WMC and I only found out for definite 2 days before I had to fly to KL! The WMC (World Muaythai Council) chose me because I'm a Muslim fighter from the middle east and they were interested in my background and fight style.

When I got to the villa I recognized some famous and experienced fighters and also I knew some of the fighters already. I thought it's gonna be a tough challenge for me, but this didn't freak me out because I'm always looking for challenges and new experiences. I can say the Challenger Muaythai has been fantastic and a great opportunity for me to live & train with champions.

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.
