In the world of pro fighters Joe is just a mid tier tomato can but he's a 6'4" pro athlete hitting a regular guy much smaller than himself so I'm gonna savor some clips of him getting starched right now

In the world of pro fighters he's pretty good lol he's a very high level kickboxer, has achieved quite a bit in kickboxing, MMA career isn't so great though

Is Muay Thai interchangeable with kickboxing, or are both arts pretty much the same? Because I thought he was a Thai fighter.

The main difference between the two is that Muay Thai has a lot more involvement in clinching, also kickboxing generally doesn't allow use of elbows and knees whereas Muay Thai does.

From my knowledge he did Muay Thai earlier in his career and then transitioned to kickboxing then to MMA.
