The son of Master Yotong Senan – the coach behind the success of several muay thai champions – Kru Toy is at Gracie Fusion/Evolve headquarters in Rio de Janeiro to kick start standup training there.
“He’s there to train Rafael dos Anjos for his next fight and to start the muay thai program at Evolve Brazil,” says Rafael Gordinho, younger brother of head coach Roberto Gordo and coach at Evolve academy in Singapore.
Rafael dos Anjos faces off with Clay Guida at UFC 117, which takes place this coming August 7. Besides the UFC fighter, a number of the team’s other top talent will make the most of the training sessions headed by Kru Toy, like Eduardo Pachu, Diego Braga and Arthur Gogó, among others.
