A real-life underground Fight Club can be found in Bangkok. The club is named after the hit film and open to anyone regardless of their fighting experience. It can be found in the city’s Khlong Toei district.

The fights are short, three-minute bouts based on the country's popular Muay Thai sport. There are no winners declared after the fights, and the only rule is that fighters cannot punch each other in the back of the head. The club has been growing in popularity since it was founded in 2016, and it now has 76,000 members.

However, the unsanctioned fights have also drawn the attention of the police, who say that they violate Thailand's Boxing Act. The club's founder, Chana Worasart, insists that the fights are legal and that they have been approved by officials. He says that he does not oppose the idea of turning the fights into legal, sanctioned events, but that he does not want to lose the underground identity of the club.
