But he says that strapping on 4oz MMA gloves and stepping into a steel cage is quite a different feeling than fighting with the traditional&nbsp;8oz boxing gloves in a ring... and I tend to believe him.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> In this episode of the Muay Thai Guy podcast, Chris and I discuss his career, his retirement&nbsp;and what his goals&nbsp;are now that he's decided to step into the ring. We cover a wide variety of topics including:</div> <ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> <li>How he got his start in martial arts in Kyokushin Karate and then eventually&nbsp;graduated&nbsp;to Muay Thai.</li> <li>What is was like stepping into the cage for the first time with MMA gloves and how the feeling differs from a regular fight.</li> <li>How he changed his game plan to fit the Caged Muay Thai style and why that was important to his success.</li> <li>The feeling of losing a world title fight and how he was able to overcome the defeat.</li> <li>His biggest triumph over a tough Thai fighter, Waytharan Sitsongpeenong that no one thought he could beat.</li> <li>What it's like training fighters and training himself at the same time, and how it eventually lead to his retirement.</li> <li>Why and how he decided to start the Prestige Fight Series promotion.</li> <li>How he's able to balance all these different areas of his life.</li> <li>And much, MUCH more.</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white;
