Sports MMA, muay Thai
Venue Bangla Boxing Stadium, Phuket, Thailand
Date October 21, 2022
The exciting and fast-growing TFC brand will level up on October 21 as it stages its first ever championship bout.
In the main event of TFC 8, no.1 contender Rockie Bactol will challenge for the vacant MMA featherweight belt when he faces off against India’s “King of Hell”, Shiv Kumar.
For Bactol, it is the culmination of a fighting journey that began as a bullied teenager and took him all the way to the big leagues of ONE Championship and around the rings and cages of Thailand as he carved out a reputation as one of Southeast Asia’s most versatile and crowd-pleasing athletes.
The undercard looks to be just as exciting, with action in both MMA and muay Thai codes. The highlight could be the highly anticipated showdown between Japanese veteran Koji Takeuchi and Thai hero Phetzilla, who is carving out a fierce reputation as an MMA fighter following a decorated career in muay Thai.
With more title fights on the TFC calendar and a boxing programme set to join its prestigious MMA and muay Thai rosters, this promotion is growing with each event. Be there in Phuket on October 21 or tune in to say you were part of history as the first TFC champion is crowned.
