In 2012 Buakaw Banchamek, in the prime of his fighting career, fought this “illegal” match against Rustem Zaripov at Thai Fight Extreme, which he did not weigh-in for the fight as a protest against the contract he had with Por Pramuk Gym. All this stress was bad news for Zaripov… Buakaw went all out and brutally destroyed him after a flurry of unanswered strikes, having the referee save Zaripov from his head bouncing off the canvas.
