Those kind of spirits are what the pro Muaythai fighters possesed, and these spirits will be unleashed on the night of the same dates. A really stacked cards has been put up with many fights that will potentially go down as fight of the nights.

The main card of Bow Suweilek vs Jian Kai Chee should be either a big fight or a domination by Bow. Kai Chee is a veteran in Muaythai and MMA and is known as a slugger.

Bow was comtemplating retirement and focus on training until he met again with his friend Coach Alvin Chong from his early 2000 of Muaythai fighting in Malaysia in Kedah. Alvin is the founder of Borneo Combat Gym Labuan andhe offered Bow a trainer job in Labuan. Using his nutritional knowledge he gain from dealing with USANA nutrition, Alvin analyses Bow’s body and put him on a special supplement program and training. With the fresh fresh seabreeze of Labuan and the advance nutrition Bow was able to regain his old speed and explosiveness and vow to proof this by a win on Friday night.
