Biography

He first began training in Muay Thai at the age of 7 under his father’s tutelage and had his first bout that same year. Lerdsila then moved to Bangkok when he was 12 years old to pursue a career in professional Muay Thai, training at Jockey Gym which created many legendary fighters such as Saenchai, Somrak Kamsing, Silapathai and Rolek Kaennorasing. Lerdsila has competed countless times at the famed Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadiums, even claiming the prestigious Rajadamnern Muay Thai World Title in three different weight classes. At his peak, Lerdsila owned an incredible streak of 100 consecutive victories, and he has faced the biggest names in the sport, including Orono Wor Petchpun, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao, and Jomthong Chuwattana across his storied career. In 2015, Lerdsila moved to train at Phuket Top Team.

Fighting Style

Lerdsila developed his style through a long period of training in Jocky Gym, where fighters were trained to be fast, elusive and technical oriented. Lerdsila explained that he likes to mix Muay Thai with techniques he saw in other martial arts such as Taekwondo, Karate and Boxing. Lerdsila doesn't take fights too seriously: he doesn't care about winning or losing, but to have fun during fights by taunting, keep his opponents guessing, making them angry to break their concentration during fights. People call Lerdsila "The Eel on a skateboard" because of how evasive he is; Lerdsila is extremely good at incorporating the Teep and head movements into his defense, especially countering flashy, explosive kicks of his opponents.

No matter who was kicking, I would always see it coming and just lean back,” - Lerdsila
