Usually for smaller events that aren't the big boys of kickfighting organizations, there's not a way to watch and we often have to rely on Youtube videos after the fights. La Nuit Des Titans on March 17 , however, is offering a live internet PPV of their event.

The event is headlined by two time K-1 MAX World Grand Prix Champion, Buakaw Por. Pramuk who faces France's Fabio Pinca, one of the top Muay Thai fighters outside of Thailand. The fight is under full Muay Thai rules and what's even more interesting is for the first time in a while, Buakaw is going lower in weight than 70kg. Buakaw has been fighting at 70kg for a very long time now, but this fight is scheduled to be at 68kg. The weight limit is in place because of Pinca, who usually fights at 67kg.

Pinca is no stranger to facing Thais, as this will be the third Thai he's fought in a row. He lost to Kem Sitsongpeenong in the Thai Fight finals on December 18 but fought Saenchai on January 21 at Yokkao Extreme in Italy. Pinca came away with a very controversial decision victory over the much smaller Saenchai. Buakaw is bigger than Pinca and probably the biggest fighter that he's ever fought. Buakaw is coming off a win against Dzhabar Askerov also at Yokkao Extreme, after a win a month before against Frank Giorgio, also at the Thai Fight finals.

Buakaw's stablemate Pajonsuk Por. Pramuk is also on the card and he takes on Ayoub El Khaidar. Not to be confused with the much heavier Pajonsuk that fought in It's Showtime and K-1, Pajonsuk Por. Pramuk has been fighting more internationally as of late, and much higher in weight than usual. His normal weight is 118lbs (53.5kg) but his recent fight against Karim Bennoui was contested at 60kg and ended up in a draw. Pajonsuk then actually fought a week later against KENJI at RISE 86 in Japan, at 55kg, dropping a decision because of point deductions. This fight is at 60kg.

Rounding out the announced portion of the card, there's a four man, one night tournament taking place under full Muay Thai rules at 72.5kg. The participants are Mickael Piscitello, Fares Bechar, Bird Kham and Super-X Por. Phetnumchai.

To order the PPV, all you simply need to do is go to live.muaythaitv.com and select one of the options that are available to be paid by credit card or Paypal. You'll need a Facebook or MuayThaiTV account to do so. The price is 25% if you order it early now, at only $9.90 US/7.50 Euros.
