Houston middleweight Chase Corley ended his Muay Thai career with a 17-13 record after placing second in a four-man, one-day tournament in Hong Kong on Oct. 21. In his semi-final bout, Corley dropped Kevin Botz of Germany twice in the second round en route to a decision victory.
But Corley, 28, sustained "a lot of damage" against the German including busted ribs and a cut on his forehead from an elbow shot (legal in Muay Thai). Fighting injured in the finals against Tum Mardsua of Thailand, Corley was unable to defend protect himself effectively enough, prompting the referee to call a stoppage in the first round.
