Muaythai career

After failing to beat Apisit Koedchatturat for the WPMF World Lightweight title, he fought once more for it against Rob Storey in January 2012. Bastard won the fight by unanimous decision. It was the second major title in his career, after winning the WPMF Intercontinental Lightweight title in the previous year.[3][4]

He participated in the Krush 29 tournament, with the ISKA World Lightweight title being the tournament prize. He defeated Naoki Ishikawa by TKO, but lost to Koya Urabe by TKO in the finals.[5]

He returned from a three-year absence from the sport in June 2018, to fight Khunsuknoi Sitkaewprapon.[6] Khunsuknoi won the fight by unanimous decision.[7] Four months later he fought Celestin Mendes, but once again lost by unanimous decision.[8]

Bastard fought Soare Marian Florin in January 2020, during Ultimate Fight Night.[9] He won the fight by decision, snapping a five fight losing streak.
