Ramon Dekkers

I find Ramon Dekkers genuinely fascinating because he was a Dutchman who went into Thailand and beat the Thais at their own national sport, which almost never happened in that era. Winning five Muay Thai world titles across four weight classes during the 1980s and 1990s tells me he wasn't a flash in one division, he kept adapting. The nickname "Turbine from Hell" fits a guy whose whole identity was forward pressure and knockouts rather than caution. His death in 2013 at only 43 felt far too early to me, and I think his aggressive style left a real mark on how kickboxing is fought today.
