Go see if anyone in Muay Thai history started training with no fighting experience and a year and half later becomes Muay Thai World Champion. Well, Sitan Gym Phillys own, Timothy Amorim, did it.  Here is a brief history on route to Timothy Amorims journey to becoming World Champion. Late February of 2008, Timothy Amorim walked into Rami Ibrahims Sitan Gym, Philadelphia location, and told him he was interested in learning Muay Thai as a hobby.10 month later he fought Brandon Mickens for the WKA United States Muay Thai title and lost a unanimous decision to him. June of this year, Aziz Nabihs Sitan Gym, New York location, Omar Ahmed also faced Brandon Mickens but this time for the WKA World Championship and "SUPPOSEDLY" Brandon Mickens won. A couple weeks after that fight Timothy Amorim went to the WKA Nationals tournament and competed in the 132 lb division. He won the tournament and become the new WKA North American Muay Thai Champion. September 25, 2009, Timothy Amorim gets his revenge for both him self, Omar Ahmed and Sitan Gym. He beats, Brian Crenshaws (president of WKAUSA) fighter, former WKA World Champion, Brandon Mickens, in a unanimous decision. Deja vu, the other way around. Rami Ibrahim, Aziz Nabih and Timothy Amorim would like to thank Brandon Mickens for giving us that chance. Words from Rami Ibrahim that were said that night to Brandon Mickens, "Brandon, belt or no belt, your a champion. You fought great and showed a big heart. Your still a champion, no matter what."
