#2. ONE Championship bantamweight Muay Thai champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao

If you make a list of the best Muay Thai fighters of this era, you can't finish it without mentioning Nong-O Gaiyanghadao. The reigning ONE Championship bantamweight Muay Thai champion is in the same vein as all-time greats like Samart, Saenchai, and Buakaw.

The Sakon Nakhon native is a champion in seven different weight classes. Nong-O has won four Lumpinee Stadium titles, one Rajadamnern Stadium title and a ONE Championship belt. In his latest stint at ONE, Nong-O has been on an 8-fight winning streak with his last three coming by way of a devastating KO.

The dominant ONE champion is also the father of two teens who, from the looks of his social media, are already training under him. After all, if your father is one of the best fighters in the world, it wouldn't be such a stretch to follow his path, right?

The boys are frequently seen training in numerous posts on Nong-O's Instagram and are almost always accompanied by the guiding presence of their father. Not only are they training together, but the champion's kids are frequently seen doing a bunch of fun activities with their father on their farm.

Nong-O's boys are having the best life possible. They're being instilled with the tenets of martial arts by one of the greatest ever while also having tons of fun at the same time.


#1. MMA legend and ONE Championship Grand Prix champion Demetrious Johnson

Of course, no other fighting father is mightier than 'Mighty Mouse' himself, former 11-time defending UFC champion and ONE Grand Prix champ Demetrious Johnson. What Johnson has achieved and continues to achieve in the sport is more than the stuff of legend. They're absolutely mythical. He is considered by many to be the greatest mixed martial arts fighter to have ever lived.

But perhaps Johnson's finest achievements aren't involving punching someone in the face or choking them unconscious. If you ask him, Johnson's biggest wins in life involve raising three beautiful children alongside his wife, Destiny.

The Johnsons have three adorable offspring: two songs, Tyrone, Maverick and one daughter, Tany. 'Mighty Mouse' is always present with his family doing a bunch of things every happy family does, movie nights, game nights, awesome dinners, beach trips, motocross riding, and all sorts of cool stuff.

Johnson is just as passionate about his family and being a father as he is about training and fighting. He is winning tremendously in both. That's why he's at the top of our list.
