Let's be very, very clear: he's not a Shaolin Monk. It's marketing nonsense.
Edit: Quit replying to my post. Do some research. Lots of people can stay with the Shaolin Monks. That does not make one a Monk. He wasn't a monk. He stayed there. He trained with them. So what. That's not unique and isn't enough to qualify him as a Shaolin Monk. Give a source of a Shaolin Monk saying he's a monk or keep it moving.
Thank you for putting that out. I will call these guys both MMA fighters just one lacks ground game. Either way they are both excellent fighters.
He does not have the mark of the dragon burned into his arms.

What a monster McLaren is. Took some serious punches and got up and found a way to win against a very talented opponent. Hugely impressive.
Supo levantarse de una situación difícil
I agree very i.pressive to comeback for the win. I think if this young kid develops a ground game he will be a force to seriously
that punch did not connect cleanly. not much impact. the head was already turning in the same direction
Sorry McLaren is not a monster, he was just up against a less experienced grappler. The minute he goes up against a more rounded fighter, it’ll be game over for him
@@Transcend11111 don't care, he Win that's all!
Xie almost knocked Reece out and displayed some incredible striking power and skills, but made some critical errors on the ground, like turning into a back take, which was smartly set up by Reece, classic rookie mistake that can be ironed out with experience, Xie is definitely a prospect in the growing, will be expecting a much improved version of himself for his next fight.
Yeah too bad he was so desperate to get up. Shouldve defended from the ground and waited till the round ended. Xie is still good.
Yeah, could have just lie down and waste time then back up and keep punching Reece he could have win by points or ko. But it's just a match, he can just learn to be better.
I guess that's one way Shaolin Kung Fu doesn't fully transfer to MMA. A lot of Shaolin training and fight approach involves the use of weapons, where raw unarmed ground fighting isn't trained so much.
He needs to find a new team, look how quiet they are when Xie taken down. They had no clue what to do
Tf? This isnt an analysis. This is a recap with a promo.
Although McLaren got the win, Xie Wei's future is still really bright. He's an accurate puncher with nasty wheelhouse, and front kicks. Not to mention his incredibly educated elbows. But his inexperience against good grapplers showed here. By this time next year he'll be able to beat McLaren. His defense against double and single leg takedowns as well as his patience in weathering choke attempts will be far better.
Are u hard fans of MMA? I think MMA is violence. Commercial martial arts today is too much. I am a chinese (by ethnicity) and violence is bad thing. Somekind of taboo-ed by society.
@@theMarhaenist, if you are Chinese, learn how Great Leader Chairman Mao came to power. China plans to take over the world by violence and you will approve of it.
i just don't know how he just let the dude through the entire process of chocking him?🤨 dude f*ckng move and snap out of it, you are not a ground fighter, just keep him away, f*ckng run if you have to.
Mclaren will evolve also, you cant go to MMA without high grappling skills
@@theMarhaenist nah, tired of watching MMA. I'm ready for a real colosseum style gladiator fighting. Swords, shields, axe, spears. 40 vs 40 would be entertaining.
These are too seriously skilled fighters. Mad respect for both of them, and I hope to see more of both of them. I think we might see some Shaolin monks working on their grappling in the future, which would be amazing to see what they could do with it considering the dedication to fighting arts of the Shaolin monks!
He's not a real shaolin monk
@@Microdave75 yeah a real shaolin monk would only talk about being the greatest figther but never actually put it in practice. This xei is the kind of shaolin monk I respect.
@@Microdave75 Maybe, maybe not in a religious sense. I have seen video and pictures of him training with them though.
@@Microdave75 Define shaolin monk. Serious statement because he did train for a few years with the temple, and a lot of people do to be honest. Not as rare as people like to think. They don't come out as MMA level fighters because shaolin monks haven't been combat ready for centuries, they may not even come out as serious fighters. Not everyone who trains there becomes full fledge, shave your head, become vegan, monks. Tons of people go, train, experience the lifestyle and brotherhood and move on. That's how the temple makes money these days, training people and teaching the lifestyle more so than being an actual warrior training center like it was centuries ago.
@@projectblitz7290 bad perspective, i bet you atleast 60% of those born monks would destroy most MMA's of the same size and complexity, i have more respect to this dudes and those Thai fighters than this westernized partime MMA fighters with boring normal lives on the side, bad food and bad diet too.
Once Xie gets his jujitsu down he'll be extremely difficult to beat ! Such a great athlete !!
It takes years to be a competent grappler not too mention thousands of hours of Mat time, grinding and drilling submissions and submission defense, maybe in 5 years if he committed to training full time with a competent legit high level black belt BJJ champion.
@@gentilewarrior agreed, gettin tired of people chalking high level grappling up as some sort of overly simple strategy you just pick up in a short amount of time. Xie obviously had the basics and then some, but Reece pull through
And Won
While he does that, McLaren will be working hard on striking and takedowns.
@@gentilewarrior not even close to being true lmfao
@@elimanning6520 unless you've trained consistently with competent high level coaches you have no idea.
The way Reece dodged that high kick Matrix style was quite a sight to behold.
Fr
It was really. Better than matrix because he just dodged it. Like he felt the wind off ot.
But not his reaction by looking away. That could have gotten him a punch.
It was pretty as fuck...
A well matched fight. It must have been difficult for Reece to recover from that right hand punch.
Respect to both fighters.
GOOD FIGHT, If Xi can get a halfway decent ground game, &/ some BJJ experience, defensive experience, He'll go a LONG way!!!!
I uploaded a video about Shaolin Monks' real Kung fu performance on my channel, it's much more shocking.
I'd love to see a rematch....because this was a display of great talent and respect!

@@josedelcarmenbenitoleon4526 if couldve shouldve maybe but
Bjj with good stand up will always going to win.
This fight went pretty much as I'd expected. Xie is a very good striker and almost knocked Reece out but once the fight went to the ground it was quickly over. If Xie learns some bjj he's gonna be very, very strong.
Most definitely.
He'd be better off with wrestling.
@@IXSuperRadGamerXI That could work too of course. Whatever makes him better on the ground.
Better be with combat sambo
You could see that these guys were not on the same level when it comes to ground work... But great job to both on the striking !

he didn't learn the Song Of The Iron Throat Technique, should've stayed at the monastery longer.
He also need to take time on iron punches in the monastery.
1:03 the perfect take down! Awesome. Xie was very uncomfortable on his back. He was too desperate to get up. More important than getting up is protecting your back, especially against an elite grappler. He gave his back so easily!
The way he kept that lead hand out there like if he was probing 1:02 than goes for the take down asoon as shaolin swings
Shaolin never train much of grappling, so he lack of these training.
Xie had a good anti-take down defence, but on the ground he lack training.
@@hansybarra nope, his corner suck! fighter can't aware of everything and that's why fighter have people in corner to give advice.
@@emhgarlyyeung He isn't a shaolin that was some fancy title, he learned in a temple around Shaolin for 4 years, anyway in Shaolin you get strong physics and very deep buddism development but you don't train sparring, he use kick box I think, but anyway it was cool all these shaolin talk.
I doubt that Buddha would approve of this.

Yes! Some BJJ and wrestling and he would have won the fight!
@@grandwonder5858 not that easy.. need a years to practice on this high level..
Then that's called MMA, which is what Reece does.
Reece knew he couldn’t outstrike Xie Wei. Xie Wei has insane accuracy and timing in his hits, so Reece switched to grappling, his greatest weapon instead, and he won. Beautiful match between both skilled fighters.
Intentionsl nut shots...skilled?
@FichDich InDemArsch bring your big red nose to the next fight...if you don't have one I'm sure someone could give you one
@FichDich InDemArsch YOU go to bed, cranky old man. You missed your mid day nap.
Lol either of these guys would ANNIHILATE you Henry, shut up.
"Sweep the Legs...(they are Dirty.)"
Well Xei didnt loose in a way he didnt think he was going to, so at least he sized up his opponent right.
The rule about grabbing the gloves in mma is pretty annoying. I get that it would be cheap to just hold onto the glove to prevent a choke, but at the same time, being told you can't touch the glove makes it very difficult to defend chokes, because sometimes you need to peel the opponent's hand off of you to get control of the arm/wrist. It's not as if the gloves make it that much easier to pull their hand away, but they pretty much can't do it at all just because the rules effectively say they can't grab hands.
that is pretty much the reason why xie tapped out. he probably get tired of those shitty rules at that moment
Good win on the ground by Reece. I'm sure we'll see these two face each other again. Both put on a good show.
No matter what form, there'll be someone who has mastered it and makes it look fluid.
I like Xie but I always felt like he focused more on striking than grappling. I sensed that if he ever came across a good grappler, he’d have a tough time.
Grappling is very boring to watch along with wrestling
@@cathalodiubhain5739 if you don’t know what you’re watching . It’s got some of the most intricate and slick techniques in all of fighting .
The ref was hard on the glove grabbing he was trying to remove the hand.... he listened to the ref and got chocked out! Get win For the Aussie though congrats
It was a good fight hopefully Xie learns from this experience
Yes, Shaolin never train much of grappling, so he lack of these training.
Only way he learns is if he trains BJJ full time spend countless hours on the mat, learning positions, drilling submission defense and offense for the next 3-5 years.
He should have kicked mclaren back in the nuts
This is a sport wve rules here a monk is a best fighter
Actually I hope should go longer. Xie very good at striking. He should keep avoid to taking down by grappler expert like Reece. But seems like he too impatient. Congratulations Reece.
Love how it took getting rocked for the black belt to actually start using his jiu jitsu.
McLaren 's grappling is just miles above Xie, who is a very powerful striker. If Xie can get his grappling up, he will be serious trouble for anyone.
Grappling and wrestling is boring style of fight. Fight like Silva, Conor and Adesanya. They were and are electrifying.
@@mtemwang6701 its the most effective. if you can only punch and kick then youre not effective.
@@liverpoollfc1247 Kids lol
@@softwareengineer9435 ? are you arguing that striking without grappling is effective?
@@liverpoollfc1247 Not really. Striking > Grappling. Striking without grappling IS more effective than grappling without striking. Notice, there aint any grapplers who dont know striking but there are plenty of strikers who dont know grappling. Striking is core. Grappling is an add on.
Wow! How explosive was that!? Awesome match between two epic fighters! Thanks for sharing 👍
As an Aussie Who loves Shaolin Kung Fu... Was hard fight to watch... Both fighters are incredible.
That was not Shaolin kung fu. Kung Fu doesn't work.
@@Danny-mg1hu guess you can handle Xie?

@@Danny-mg1hu no way but looks like his kung Fu works great;
@@danodonnell7218 he is not using Kung Fu lol
Imagine when Mclaren builds his striking game? He'd be unstoppable.
First thing to do when escaping a rear naked choke is to turn the head towards the choking arms hand, and then work on escaping the leg hooks. It's always a mistake to try to fight the choking arms like he did.
I'm still fighting to get shoulders to the floor and every now and again I'll get an opponent who just handles me and I never find the floor. Any advice?

Reece only won because Xie is untrained with BJJ. (He may have training, but obviously a not a high level as seen in his skills)
Shaolin never train much of grappling, so he lack of these training.
@@emhgarlyyeung Rules determine the game. If rules allowed biting, all the choke holds used in jiu jitsu would disappear. I imagine back at the Shaolin temple, if there was ever a true "no rules" fight, grappling would not play much of a role.

Hoping for striking like xie wie improved next time
A recurring theme with Asian fighters. Great stand up; no defence on the ground.

Nonsense, you obviously haven't seen many top asian mma artists. Stop generalising.

Wow what a casual. Ever heard of aoki, sakuraba and tons of others?
@@dayd7420 exactly, who invented judo? Asians did, in fact bjj is just a rip off of judo, old Japanese mastered did exactly what the gracies did before they made it famous. Theres a videos on UA-cam that support my claims. The gracies added very little.

I don't see any Shaolin moves like I used to see in Kung Fu movies though!!!
Shaolin just a myth
You watched too many movies if you think they really fight like that bro.
Sounds like American
@@Nickfooker Kung fu has techniques to maintain and control distance with opponent to avoid takedown. He got takedown twice and I did't see anything like Kung Fu.
You are Mo ron
You know, it's sort of neddling me, how Reese McLaren won the bout, but 90% of the comments here are how, "if only the other guy did so & so, he'd have won".
Come on people, this is going on to become an apologist session.
Both fighters did good and showed their expertise. Xie just didn't have enough experience with grappling. Hopefully he improves his ground game after this
yeah, it is evident that him and his camp thought that a good sprawl is enough as far as grappling goes. They were clueless once they are on the ground. His corner being quiet once he was taken down was kinda funny to me. They need a grappling coach.
@@prointernetuser LOL
@@prointernetuser cuz his corners are white belt probably has even less experience in the ground as their fighter.
@@prointernetuserone thing to note. why did the ref stopped him from freeing himself from the choke ?
There a big difference between grabbing the hand, and putting your fingers in the glove to illegally hold on… that ref is TERRIBLE. That was a completely legal defense.
These are two fighters I like to watch. This match was awesome.
Before he stepped in the arena, this Chinese guy used to be the dishwasher at my local Chinese restaurant.
If Xie fight again, he can win for sure....
Xie gave himself up due to lack of experience, don’t think you’ll see him turn his back on an opponent again. Xie has excellent stamina and accurate striking, he’s gonna keep opponents up at night..big fan of his..I’ll bet Mclaren will turn down the rematch..
Show him the money 🤑
Never lock ur or a legs with a person on ur back.. I understand that move .he was trying to do. He locked his legs to stand defend but was standing to long . U have actually"fall sit " and press him to cage with ur back .. defend the rest of it until ur comfortable in twisting around. When u locked a leg ur neck becomes exposed as u stand ... he took the side u locked . If u can grab both gloves and fall sit. The refhas to call it. Sneakily put ur head under his chin & Fall straight down. Grabbing is arms as well.. Ref has to call it.
The judo twist not good to try. I do get it work.but.. Because the rules allow the foe to leg wrap you n strike n as well.. it best fall sit with ur head under his chin.. even if the foe move his head, u can twist and take top position or back to ur feet standing .or just stall which will create standing reset.
Shaolin monk needs to work more ground to compete against BJJ fighters.
He's excellent but needs experience on the floor ...
Looked like he tapped twice before going down?? Also, not much "Shaolin style" fighting going on here
Reece won, still took some heavy shots, but took a solid win. Hope to see his Striking game improved even More the next fight, he’ll be a hard contender to deal with and a great prospect.
Xie is gonna be a big problem in this division once he builds his grappling base. Mark my words. Mclaren is very sticky big win for him.
Yodkaikaew vs Schild.
Even with the loss I am impressed with Xie Wei’s striking game and foot work. With a little bit more seasoning to his ground work he’ll be a hell of an opponent in the ring. Very impressive that he stood up like that with a black belt opponent all over him, even though he eventually was submitted… Most people would’ve never made it to their feet.
Why couldn't he try to move the bjj glove or hand. How else would you be able to stop him from hooking that choke. I don't get one championship it's got the weirdest refs and stuff. You could see everytime he kept interrupting him saying don't touch his glove then the dude got deeper in the lock. In ufc I've watched so many people defend that hand from getting the choke in but why mot here anyone?
When they win: "representing bjj!"
When they lose: "we don't know this guy."
lol. mma fanbois say the cringiest things. some say monk technique is useless in mma. but can't they see all mma fighters employ the monkey style?? mma style lmfao these guys
Agreed! Fuck BJJ! It is the least effective defensive system outside of an Octagon and requires rules to allow it to gain the upper hand when in use. If you look up the amount of times the Gracie’s cheated or “changed the rules” to favour the grapplers, it should be obvious.
At least they win unlike kung fu losers😂
@@nickleback3695 jujutsu is kungfu
@@nickleback3695 call that kung fu guy out to fight with you, no ground game, just hand-to-hand combat. keyboard warrior acting tough
Idk kinda seemed ref assisted... Not on purpose at 2:10 once the refs got involved, Xei lost his balance and got submitted instantly after just fighting his way back up to his feet
The look on his face at the end was the look of a dude who wasnt done fighting dang
Honestly the most notable thing was how EFFORTLESSLY Xie was executing parries and then countering off of them. They are so quick they look like feints but he's actually parrying Mclarens strikes.
ground game is so crucial, Xie almost had it. Reece just didnt wanna stay down. Great fight by both fellas. I don’t understand why the ref was telling him he couldnt remove off the hand/glove from positioning.
He hookex his fingers "into" the glove - you can't hook the opponents glove with your fingers, you have to grab the hand. What Connor did to Poirier.
Rules determine the game. If rules allowed biting, choke holds would disappear.
Lets legalize eye stabbing, the fights will be short and less brain damage
@@shades2.183 Imagine if you're a Ukrainian soldier and you encounter a Russian solder. Both of you are out of bullets and neither has a knife. Yea, eye stabbings, biting, throwing dirt, hair pulling, kicking the groin ... everything is going to be "legal." All I'm saying is, in a true "no holds barred" fight where everything is legal, grappling is of limited use. And that is the context in which Shaolin kung fu, karate, and tae kwon do evolved.
@@Vortexafternoon If that's the case, Xie shoulda just did what he was going to do, woulda been a deduction or DQ but I guess we'll live with Reece climbing up the cage like a monk.
So much heart and warrior spirit to get through those bombs that dropped him and get the win.
When a Shaolin Kung Fu Master fights you in reality you are in trouble in a big way, back off stop they will respect that 😀.
This is why grappling is so important. That take down was perfection.
You mean that's why wrestling is so important
@@patrickbateman7369 grappling/wrestling, doesn’t matter
@@chrome1018 it definitely matters. These days "grappler" is more associated with jui jistu than wrestling and a wrestlers takedown and takedown defense is on another level than a jui jistu practitioner so yes,...it does matter

Xie will work on grappling, and will be very difficult to beat later.
Reece definitely had to work for that one. Respect to him for the win.
Actually did super well for a Kung Fu guy. I mean, by Shaolin standards, even having the balls to enter a real life match is already a win.
Xie's kicks are so damn fast!
Shaolin's stretching is like hell.
grappling is nothing compare to shaolin kung fu master. shaoling kung fu can beat any bjj mma fighter (with a gun)
I’m Asian and was rooting for Xie but this Reece guy is something. Much respect to both guys
They didn’t teach shaolin guys not to sleep when choked hold like that? Goddamn he slept like a baby
Both of these guys are very impressive. McLaren took some big shots to the face and kept going, and Xie Wei is not only talented, but as the smaller guy to stand up with McLaren on his back showed great strength.
The ref cost Xie on the choke. How was he supposed to grab he's hand in that position without grabbing the glove?
Hey, the rules are clear, no grabbing the gloves
@@y200sub grabbing the glove means having your fingers inside the glove hooking the glove to control it{my opinion}. Xie didn't have he's fingers inside the glove he didn't have any unfair advantage on he's hand
@@fortune4021 Thanks for the info, i'll look it up
Rules are rules, you cannot grab inside the edges of the gloves. He could have grabbed his wrist or even grabbed him by the base of the thumb and torqued it, but cannot grab the glove like that.

If was a Shaolin this would end at least two ways i can tell now - first way would be like a litle kid playng fight AGAINST a adult guy /theyr FATHER for example - second way would be just the whole thin ending up in LESS than 1 minute [if Shaolin attacks]
This wasn't a Shaolin Monk vs a BJJ fighter, this was an MMA fighter vs an MMA fighter.
Yes. Thank you to see what it is. Not karate techniques or Kung fu etc. But variations of plus other, sort of, that make for Mma. I think you know what i mean as MMA develop.
MMA is its own.
MMA sanctions/rules are limiting. This Shaolin monk guy truth be told probably studied mostly wushu sanda sway jow etc. Definitely tons of conditioning. I notice from what he trains on currently his good habits are diminishing.
Of course not taking away credit from the grappler.
This match however doesn’t and shouldn’t cast a negative lite on Shaolin martial arts.
Case being those who train in real Shaolin can do all the training of jujitsu yet at the same time I’d love to see anyone who doesn’t train real Shaolin try attempting training real Shaolin.
I am American, but I was rooting for Xie. I like his fighting style.
It's useless to show these so called "monks" getting to The octagon and using MMA skills, punches etc and not using anything of The Kung Fu they supposely train so hard in The Temples. So stop with these bullsht posts.
Certain techniques are better for MMA gage fights. It all depends on the rules. A lot of things are not allowed (example grabbing gloves or the cage etc) which makes certain techniques more suited to cage fights. A shaolin monk has to fight within the rules which is a disadvantage whereas styles like jujitsu, wrestling and kickboxing are the best because they focus on MMA rules !
Grabbing gloves or the cage is a sign of desperation. No fighting style promotes that. That's survival street fight stuff. The better fighter won - that's all.
jiu jitsu doesn´t focus on mma rules, jiu jitsu focuses on what works on human body
@@peironepablo Respectfully, I understand that. But every sport has rules. If the banned tactics will save your live on the street, I'm all for it. But if BJJ tactics put a fighter at a disadvantage in MMA, maybe don't get into the ring. If I'm a black belt in taekwondo, I probably would not get into a regular boxing ring knowing that I couldn't throw any kicks.
Wrong, Shaolin is just garbage for fighting, rules or not.
MMA is sport with rules n reguletions. Martial arts r lethal methods without weapons. Its not sport. Sport version is about winning within the constrain of rules designed for safety of participants. Many moves r illegal, restricted n not allowed. In real life if one gets takedown you can retaliate in many ways NOT allowed within MMA rules.
Learning from his lost will only make him better.
He gave his back away like it was a freebie. While the Aussie changed his stratagy pas he knew if keep with the stand up it won't be going his way.
True Shaolin monks do not fight In combat, even to defend unless they are threaten and they will not cause harm, a true shaolin monk who has trained from a child is as fast as lightening, and would put at least 2 or 3 hits before their opponent would even strike, pressure point hits at that the opponent would be quite incapacitated very quickly.
Congrats to both fighters , great fight but more than that I'm just glad to see someone with Shaolin training competing in the ring. I always wondered how they would do and with time and more training, this kid will be a serious problem.
This monk would destroy them all.. realize they are not allowed to hurt people. If there were no rules this monk would break legs and probably put mma fughters in comas. Shaolin monks even if they are not in temple are not alllowed to hurt people unless to defend agression...
He's had training in a Shaolin Temple, which anyone can go for, but he is far from a bona-fide warrior monk. That takes at least 2 decades of hard practice. This man Xie has great potential but let's not get it confused with what true warrior monks are capable of.

It takes a long time to learn.
Subsequently, one does not make a living getting the brain box bashed over and over....
I’m glad to see monks are showing their skills. They deserved to be recognized finally. People act like MMA is new but really it’s been around forever thousands of years. Human combat has been around and I’m glad the monks are fighting.
He's had training in a Shaolin Temple, which anyone can go for, but he is far from a bona-fide warrior monk. That takes at least 2 decades of hard practice. This man Xie has great potential but let's not get it confused with what true warrior monks are capable of.
Thank you! Had this conversation with many of my colleagues and friends. I believe it was really silly of people to credit Bruce Lee with the concept of mixing techniques.
What Xie doing is basically just Muay thai/Kickboxing/Boxing. 0 Kung fu. See Ip man? Thats Kung fu lol
I appreciate these videos for reminding me how silly it would have been to pursue a career in fighting. All those heavy hits to the head are so bad for one’s health. it’s just not worth it. I appreciate these modern warriors, though
Xie has so much takedown defense that it worked against him, his stat was like around 90%? I think it was? For TDD but you can see how desperate he becomes when taken to the ground, he's a really good striker but he really need to polish his ground defense, even if he cannot master grappling maybe after this fight they should at least train him to be more comfortable on the ground and at least know how to defend and properly explode out of grappling situations
tell him to join kickboxing or something haahaha
@@c0mmas i think it would be nice to have him compete in one super series but also interesting to see him evolve (hopefully) in mma, particularly his grappling
Agree. Xie needs more work on the ground. He is a great striker.
Your should be his trainer
Question. If a fighter is on your back and trying choke you, can you run and hurl at the cage fence to see if that will throw him off your body?Or is that illegal?
It is legal, though not effective.
Torsten Scott if you bend down and run straight towards the cage fence that exposes the head of the guy on your back as collision with fence.
@@inquisitvem6723 I would not recommend it, it would be easy to counter and the one doing the carrying would have compromised their balance going forward with very little possible reward being the fence is still flexible and unlikely to be a factor to a determined fighter. There are certainly great cage tactics that help with transition from prone to standing or vice versa.
Good fight thanks for the upload!
This is kind of weird, with not grabbing the glove. When someone is trying to RNC you - how are you supposed to defend if you can't touch his hands?
Classic result strikers never learn.
@@tangomantactical Izzy the guy that ran for his life and win per points? Calm down he's losing very soon.
@@Ziyech1 to what submission artist?
Actually they did. Check out Yodkaikaew (Muay thai) vs Schild (BJJ)
Xie needs to work on his ground-game. NUF'RESPECT TO BOTH FIGHTERS!
I'll say, "He needs to work on his ground game." fully aware that I have no ground game...
Bad call on the gloves, he has to grab something. Suleiman cost Xie the match
Yes . I saw that as well. Broke his attention
It was a perfect call, he cheated and he was cought doing it, he self and his lack of skills cost him his victory
Glove Grab is cheating.
When you fight as a sport, like chess, but don't actually mean to do harm to destroy takes real skill and heart!
Congrat to Reece.. Xie Wei 👍👍👍
I would've liked to see more Shaolin techniques instead of MMA. Like different styles. He should've went tiger style
He is a former monk, yet he talked so much 💩 as a “warrior” for a newcomer over his few wins record, he deserved that L and hope may that humbled him a little bit.
Xie is too cocky and never show respect after he loss.
@@blasblasblas2094
I don’t know about you but me myself,
I can’t say “too cocky” because I only watch his 3 minutes interview clip just ONCE , watch his past few fights just short highlight never know the guy myself before that ,but it is he is kinda little arrogant the way he put his word before this fight weeks ago.
Yeah I guess he is just another typical loud mouth Chinese for you ~
I like his explosive strike though.
His striking is still extremely impressive especially for a gung-fu background
if he doesnt improve his ground game he will have a tough time in mma xD
what did he say
