Model Mia Kang at one time wore the t shirt with Dillon Danis’ face on it. But with Danis so busy the model and muay thai practitioner found herself looking for coaching advice in bjj on social media:

Muay Thai makes me feel alive, present, supremely confident, humble, without ego, and allows me to access strength I never knew I had 🖤With my trainer @firstt_yodyut at @yodyutmuaythai

Interestingly Kang has been quoted wanting to transition to MMA in the past:

“I’ve been judged on my appearance day in and day out every day since the age of 13,” Kang, who has been modeling for 15 years, told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “I’ve been through every eating disorder, body dysmorphic disorder on the planet — that you can ever imagine. Anorexia, bulimia, addiction to diuretics, laxatives. Fully body dysmorphic. I would look in the mirror and see a fat person.

“I grew up obese and overweight and bullied. … I’ve lived on both extremes. I’ve been a size 14, I’ve been a size zero. And just day in and day out, feeling guilty every time you eat something and being criticized on every part time part of your body, I’d just had enough.”

When prompted about MMA she said:

“In the meantime, really laying down some foundations in wrestling, some jiu-jitsu,” Kang said. … “Let’s not forget, this is fun for me. This is what I want to do. I’ve really fallen in love with martial arts and I wish I’d done it earlier and I want to see what else is out there.”

And as for when will we see her in mma:
“Knowing me, I will get there down the line,” Kang said. “But I’m not trying to rush anything. I’m going at my own pace, what I feel comfortable doing.”
