We have all heard "This is real Chinese kung fu". Okay. So why no Chinese in UFC? If not UFC, then just any kind of MMA. MMA is a world sport that is very popular. China like kung fu, so should be good for MMA; after all, lots of style is good for MMA.
But there is no one. There used to be a guy, I think named Zhang, but he got KO'ed by a Japnese and now we don't see him no more.
I see some fights on the TV, but are all no-name fighters in which everyone carries a flag. Why no good fighting in China? Why China not in UFC?
10 years 25 weeks ago in General - Other cities
Zhang Tie Quan / 张铁泉
Saw him in a boring fight in Macau
There is a new tv show starting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Fighter:_China could be a lot of girly fighting in that.
American citizens absolutely dominate UFC (if measured by nationality of fights won). I guess that is understandable because the majority of contestants are US citizens.
Anyway, maybe some weird China govt. conspiracy to not lose face ? I mean how can they broadcast the China champion getting fkng pummeled shitless by some white American dude ?
Robk:
True, but Canadians and Brazilians have left a strong mark in the UFC as well.

yep, you are talking to a huge Royce Gracie fan. maybe the baddest m'fkr ever to walk the Earth ?
didnt see it but if they fight like i saw it on random tv the last days i dont expect anything else than getting crushed by 2m taller guys who give them just 1 punch
meanwhile other countries are not worse only because they took over the sport from another country. therefor china is better in gymnastics and whatsoever
Well look out as China have there own Ultimate fighter series so there will be a Chinese UFC fighter soon.
Asian fighters are starting to break into the UFC so should be more soon, but there are also other established fighting circuits out there that have a few.
UFC is the biggest organization out there and only out there to make money it seems as they recently did cut Yushi Okami against there own 3 loss fight policy- though he did not lose 3 in a row and a good fighter decision seemed to be financial?
kung fu and sport are different things. You dont practice kung fu to fight with gloves under some rules that clearly helps those BJJ guys. MMA is just Bollocks.
What, Uxbridge Football Club? I think there was one but he kept fouling on the pitch. Claimed the urinals in the men's room were too high to reach. Messy business.
