Muay Thai action in Manhattan Friday Night
-
- January
- 24
Sanctioned MMA fights are still illegal in NY. Boo. Fortunately, Muay Thai and kickboxing competitions are completely legal.
I train at Tiger Schulmann’s school of mixed martial arts. Some of our guys will be competing Friday night at an event in Manhattan called Combat at the Capitale.
The Combat of the Capitale fights are put together by Louis Neglia and Ray Longo. Ray Longo is the striking coach for the current UFC welterweight champion , Matt Serra. He was also a coach for the hit reality series The Ultimate Fighter: Season 6.
Here is what TSK MMA has to say:
Team Tiger Schulmann will again be storming the Capitale in downtown Manhattan for a night of Muay Thai action Friday, January 25th. Presented by World Kickboxing Champion Louis Neglia and by Ray Longo, Friday night’s winter installment of “Combat at the Capitale†will feature five Team TS fighters.
Ramsey’s Jimmie Rivera will be giving all attendees something to look forward to as he squares off against Eric Perez. Rivera rolls into Friday’s match, coming off two straight wins at the Capitale, as well as an undefeated record in both kickboxing and MMA.
Yonker’s own Louis Gaudinot will be meeting Tom Desmond. Gaudinot will also be looking to keep his winning streak alive as he has momentum from his previous Muay Thai win at the Capitale.
Following his impressive MMA debut at New Breed Fighters, Julio Arce of Bayside will be looking to make a dominating Kickboxing debut in his match against Richard Callado.
Team TS rising star Jose Villanueva of Middletown will be touching gloves with Keith Morris.
Nationally ranked grappler Stephen Regman of Watchung will be taking on James “B52” Smith Jr.
“Combat at the Capitale†will be held this Friday, January 25th, live from the Capitale at 130 Bowery in NYC. Be sure to come out to the Capitale in downtown Manhattan to support our Team TS fighters. Doors open at 7:00 PM with the action starting promptly at 8:00 PM.
For more information on the venue, including directions and contact information, please visit the Capitale’s official website by clicking here.
General admission tickets are still available for $35.00 and can be purchased at the door the day of the event.

Have you ever heard of a Muay Thai boxer named Bunkerd Faphimai? I know next to nothing about the sport, but an old classmate of mine wrote a great story about him (and the sport) for the New Yorker a year or so ago.
