Chinese MMA fighter Xu Xiaodong has rubbed salt in the wounds after seeing 69-year-old tai chi “master” Ma Baoguo get knocked out in half a minute.
Ma was flattened in a farcical match-up with an amateur martial arts hobbyist 20 years his junior in Shandong last weekend. Footage of the fight has gone viral on social media.
“Shanghai’s Ma Baoguo knocked out by an amateur after four seconds. That’s what a ‘traitor’ gets,” Xu tweeted.
“Mad Dog” Xu, of course, has history with Ma.
“In 2017, he challenged me saying he had beaten a European MMA champion, but before the fight he called the police and I was taken away by the police,” Xu added.
Indeed, the two men were set to fight three years ago with Ma looking to defend the honour of traditional martial arts, just weeks after Xu found overnight infamy in China for a 10-second knockout of another tai chi “master”, Lei Lei.
