Following a massive success with round 2 of World Muaythai Angels at the U-Tapao International Airport, Thailand, the semi-final and final rounds took place on Saturday December the 16th this time in the Sports Authority of Thailand.

The competition which was sanctioned by the WMC was a sixteen-woman elimination tournament at 57kg which began in April. Due to complications some fighters were not able to continue in the tournament so the organisers merged the semi-final and the final into a Super 4 competition, the winner of which would take home a cheque for 1 million baht and the keys to a Toyota pick-up truck.
