The "ONE: Invincible" major fighting event will be broadcast live at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 28 January. In this edition of the competition, Tang Kai, Zhang Lipeng and Wang Shuo, three famous Chinese players, joined hands to win honors for the Struggle for China. Among them, the featherweight player Tang Kai will challenge South Korea's Kim Jae Woong, who ranks first in the world in weight, and the winner of this competition is very likely to win the right to challenge the world championship.
Recently, Jin Zhixiong confidently said in an interview that he had found Tang Kai's shortcomings, he said: "According to my observation, Tang Kai is not good at wrestling and jiu-jitsu, I think his only core technology is standing blows, I guess standing against the bomb will be the situation he pursues in the game." Tang Kai is not a well-rounded player, and the basic principle of fighting with his opponents is deeply rooted in his heart. Immediately after, Kim also said: "But I know how to adjust my techniques and tactics according to different types of opponents, and I am stronger than Tang Kai at all levels." ”
However, Kim's statement has less factual basis. In all 13 of Tang Kai's professional matches, 11 (T)KO wins, and in the round cage of the ONE Championship, Tang Kai always insisted on keeping the game in a standing state. There is no doubt that Tang Kai is a strong standing striker, but at the same time, Tang Kai's anti-fall skills have also shown an amazing level, which is also another core skill that has supported him to this day.
Kim also said: "I see that Tang Kai is very good at the ability to move to the left, including the left fist and the left leg in the moving hit, so I am focusing on training the corresponding defensive techniques. ”
Although Kim was confident in the interview, in fact, he was also a player who preferred to stand up and hit. Before that, when facing tangling masters with high surrender rates such as Sung Jong Lee, Keanu Subba, and Yoon Chang Min, Tang Kai had not been pulled to the ground, and it was also very difficult for Kim to win by wrestling and jiu-jitsu.
Recently, Tang Kai also countered Jin's repeated contemptuous remarks, he said: "I am faster and more powerful than Jin, the technology is more mature than him, don't underestimate me, when you underestimate me, there are already two people ko by me." ”
For Tang Kai, this is an important step towards the championship, once he wins, he is very likely to embark on the championship field, this game can be seen as the most important and most anticipated match in China in 2022, and a men's mixed martial arts world champion from China is very likely to be born in this year.
