After the recent success of Thai Fight Extreme’s event in France in May, they’re now headed to Japan. With an already scheduled event in Hong Kong on July 17, Thai Fight Extreme is yet another organization that is picking up the pace in 2011. As usual, Thai Fight Extreme will use full Thai rules.

The two time K-1 World MAX Grand Prix champion, Buakaw Por. Pramuk is set to take on Tomoaki Makino. Makino is very tall for the weight class and he’ll have to use every bit of his height to beat one of the K-1 greats in Buakaw. Buakaw has recently had a foray into fighting under full Thai rules, picking up a win over Djime Coulibaly at the May 14 Thai Fight Extreme show in France. Before ths fight in August though, Buakaw will be taking on Brazillian Gilmar China on the Thai Fight Extreme card in Hong Kong on July 17.

Yodsaenklai Fairtex is another fighter who picked up a win at Thai Fight Extreme’s May event, and also who will be fighting on the Hong Kong card against Karim Ghajji. On August 7, he’ll fight Yasuhiko Shirasu of Japan.

World renowned Saiyok Pumpanmuang will take on Kou Suman of Japan. Fabio Pinca will fight Yuya Yamato, not to be confused with the Yuya Yamamoto of Krush and K-1. Yamato upset Pinca at the May Thai Fight Extreme event when Pinca was unable to continue due to cuts. Pinca will look to get his revenge and even up the score. Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee will be facing TOMOYUKI but before that he’ll take on Egon Racz on the July 17 card in China. Also look out for MMA veteran Akihiro Gono to be on the card.
Thai Fight Extreme seems to be using the same Thai fighters on each of their events with Buakaw, Yod, Sudsakorn and Saiyok being showcased on all 3 current events. Much like the France card, the Japan card features a Japan vs. Thailand theme. Thanks to Nightmare of Battle for the news.
