muay thai fighter in ufc

I was wonderin because I've never seen a strictly muay thai fighter in the UFC and my little brother says supposedly there is a muay thai fighter in the UFC who comes to the octagon wearing thai trunks and also does the whole traditional muay thai dance in the octagon?

it sounds kinda strange and my lil brother is probly just smokin crack like usual and makin shit up but so he's gonna get a beatdown if that's the case.

but is there a strictly muay thai fighter in the ufc who does this and whats his name if there is?

Orlando Weitt was a pure muay thai fighter, I can remember the fights he did but I can't remember the entrance, it was @ UFC 1 or 2 if it helps you

Anderson Silva's the closest the UFC has.

Lots of fighters use muy thai as a compliamentary cross-training but there's few with it as their backbone fighting style.

...is that new heavyweight Chiek Congo guy muy thai? He's a kickboxer, don't know if he is or not.

Anyway, I say you beat your brother down. It's always good older brother fun!

Shonie Carter came in in MT trunks, I wouldn't call him a MT fighter though, because it seems like he trains everything.

Vera is a Muay Thai fighter, not strictly Muay Thai but he's Muay Thai. I remember seeing him years ago in Muay Thai fights
