2016 ten events from the world of Chinese kickboxing by a Chinese mainstream sports site:
Yi Long vs. Buakaw Fight of the Century II controversy
Yi Long got the unfair decision to end the winning streak Buakaw had against Chinese fighters.
Zhou Zhipeng 1m76cm/70kg vs. Hong-man Choi 2m18cm/150+kg
The "destined to be a historical fight" ended up being a complete dud.
Simon Marcus fighting (within a Chinese Sanda Association approved competition I believe)
Was scheduled to fight a current top guy, ended up fighting a young replacement and easily beat him.
Qiu Jianliang getting among the top ranked fighters in the world
Yao Ming deciding to invest in Glory
Expected to add to the healthy competition for the sport in China.
The fall of Wu Lin Feng
Cridibility issues from the Yi Long stuff and such. Losing their steady base of fighters from the Da Donxiang Gym with the rift they had with Guo Chendong/Glory of Heroes.
Foreign fighters fighting under the Chinese flag
Israel Adesanya fighting in China as the Black Dragon representing China, but then in other countries representing New Zealand again... Arthit Hanchana I think might actually be a naturalized Chinese citizen and so seems to do it in a more permanent way.
Opening of Kunlun World Fighting Center in Beijing
Cai Liangchan fighting again
Dude is apparently pretty rich and doesn't need the money, decided to just fight to promote martial arts. Might've donated all his purses to charity not sure.
Success of Wang Kehan and being an apprentice of Kyshenko
"Please come in and go out". Some feel like they should go outside of China to learn and then utilize the gained experience to improve the level of fighting in China, which exactly what Kehan is doing with.

I was shocked to find out Idris Elba has a ton of Discovery programming and that none of it airs in the US. I think they aired his racing one? |

Good for him, too bad for Glory if he won't be doing even SFS anymore.

And in more China things sounds like Holzken should be fighting in Kunlun fairly soon-ish.

So Ghajji lost in BellaKB. All hail new Bellator champion Zoltan Laszak. Sounds like a bit of an odd event in general. There was no Bellator MMA there as far as I know but they had some non-Bellator qualifications for some million dollar MMA tournament in China later on. Think the finals of this are Jan 24-25. Mustapha Haida, Mohamed Diaby...Anatoly Moiseev? Don't know exactly what this is lol. |
