I've heard that traditional, real muay thai fighters in Thailand grow out their hair because they aren't suppose to cut it until they lose a fight, so what's with the rope that they tie around their arm when they fight? What's the tradition, history, or reason behind that?

Those armbands are part of Muay Thai tradition. They are called the Pra Jiad and fighters wear them for self confidence and good luck in their matches. They don't necessarily have to be made out of rope but also from some other materials that hold special meaning for fighters.
