Xu Xiaodong accepts challenge to fight Zheng Zhaoyu after Chinese kick-boxer claims he could knock him out in 30 seconds
- Zheng Zhaoyu mocks Chinese MMA fighter’s victory against 56-year-old kung fu ‘master’
- Xu agrees to fight Kunlun champion and gives ‘little kid’ three days to respond
MMA fighter Xu Xiaodong has laughed off a Chinese kick-boxer’s claim he could knock him out in 30 seconds, telling him to put his money where his mouth is.
Kunlun Fight kick-boxing champion Zheng Zhaoyu called out Xu after the man known as “Mad Dog” bludgeoned 56-year-old kung fu “master” Tian Ye, denouncing last weekend’s bout as a fight between a “madman and an idiot”.
Xu – who is on a mission to expose “fake kung fu” – took to Chinese social media and said he would accept the challenge, and that he would even agree to fight under Zheng’s standing rules, instead of his own favoured MMA rules.
“Little kid Zheng, I tell you, I hit the fake fighters and cheaters which has little to do with you,” Xu said. “You are doing this because you are trying to take advantage of it.
“You know there are more than 100 fighting matches in China every year, and they invite such [fighters] as Zimbabwe champions, Ethiopia champions, they are all fake.
