This match took place in Bangkok, Thailand in 2003. It was part of a Sanda vs Muay Thai event. The rules were a combination of Sanda and Muay Thai. Punching, kicking, elbows, knees and throws were allowed. The clinch were however limited to about 3-5 seconds rather than the long clinching time of muay thai. Elbow pads were worn.
Baoligao is a Mongolian Sanda champion. He is known for his strength in wrestling (he's Mongolian after all) and striking power. Not much finesse in his clinching and knees but didn't look like the Thai opponent had an answer for it. I think the Thai crowd were quite shocked at the result. Chinese Sanda fighters are not known for their power and KO ability.
