K-1 MAX's current champion is Buakaw Por Pramuk from Thailand, most successful k-1 fighters have backgrounds in muay thai. I've seen Muay Thai in Lumpini Stadium in Bangkok and it gets pretty brutal.

Real muay thai fighters that get to fight at the big stadiums have been training since they were really young kids.

No disrespect to Yaw Yan guys, i actually trained grappling with a few last summer @ the Doce Pares gym and they're pretty good guys, but considering the fact that Muay Thai is stand up fighting's most dominant style, I'm pretty sure an average Muay Thai fighter can take on an average Yaw Yan fighter.

Tony Jaa is an acrobat, he only studied muay thai for a couple of years. He studied the more traditional way of Muay Thai with the use of jumping elbows to the head and stuff, can't use that stuff in real life because it's too hard to pull off, as opposed to the more practical competition muay thai training which is what the real fighters use.
