If not known exactly when and by whom, then the 1st few practitioners in the US and around when, or when did it become popular in the US.|||The first I remember was a fight at the %26quot;Olympic Auditorium%26quot;
Benny Urquidez vs Narong Noi ,March 1977
They told Benny he would be fighting Muay Thai,He thought it was the guys name!
Benny got nailed with an elbow and went nuts! He started tearing the guy to pieces! A riot broke out involving 6,000 people.Despite Benny being ahead in points the State Athletic Commission declared the fight %26quot;No-Contest%26quot;
This is the first time I remember hearing the term %26quot;Muay Thai%26quot;|||It probably first came here with Thai immigrants.
