Ty Smith MMA Thibodaux takes center stage in this highlight from his amateur kickboxing debut, where he secured a dominant second-round TKO victory in Patterson, Louisiana.
A graduate of Thibodaux High School, Ty represents Next Generation Martial Arts Thibodaux. In his debut, he applied relentless pressure, scored two knockdowns, and forced the referee to step in — showcasing the discipline and grit built through years of martial arts training.
Sixteen years earlier, Ty’s father and coach, Scotty Smith, fought his final MMA bout in the very same cage. That night, Scotty brought young Ty into the ring. In this full-circle moment, Ty called his father in to celebrate his first win — a powerful reflection of legacy, growth, and family.
