A Kung Fu master from China has been shamed by a Muay Thai kickboxer after being knocked out with a kick during a highly anticipated fight.

Yi Long, who is billed as the 'No. 1 Kung Fu monk in China', had reportedly spent nearly a year preparing for the duel held on November 4 in Kunming, China.

The 30-year-old Kung Fu fighter has disappointed the Chinese public after losing the game to 26-year-old Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, a champion Muay Thai kickboxer from Thailand.

Yi Long, whose name is translated to 'One Dragon', is a celebrated Kung Fu fighter in China.

According to China.com, he rose to fame after winning the championship of the International Wing Chun Fighting Competition in Foshan in 2008.

Since then, Yi Long has been billed 'the most influential sports figure in China'.

However, it remains unclear whether or not Yi Long has been a monk or studied in Shaolin Temple, the renowned institute of Chinese Kung Fu.

The fight between Yi Long and Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong was apparently the final of a seven-month-long tournament organised by and named after the 30-year-old athlete.

The game has been described as 'humiliating' by Chinese media and Yi Long was criticised

Sina.com reported that a total of eight top martial arts athletes from around the world had been invited to fight each other, including MMA fighter Regian Eersel, Muay Thai kickboxers Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong and Enriko Kehl as well as welterweight boxers Saiyok Pumpanmuang and Dzhabar Askerov.

Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, the winner among the eight, was invited to have a duel with Yi Long for a one million yuan (£115,000) prize.

In what's been described as a 'humiliating game', Yi Long was knocked out by Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong just 70 seconds into the second round after being repeatedly beaten in the first round, reported Eastday.com.

A video of the fight shows the Muay Thai fighter giving Yi Long a heavy kick in the head, causing him to fall down and unable to get up again.

Sports fans are apparently so disappointed by Yi Long's performance they called him a 'fake' and 'liar' on the Chinese social media platforms.

In an interview with Henan Satellite TV before the fight, Yi Long said he had declined many games and film contracts in order to prepare for the duel because he wanted to show the public the best side of him in his best years.

After the game, Yi Long said he had not been training properly because he had been distracted by other personal matters, according to Hxnews.com. He also thanked his fan for their support and apologised for letting them down.

Yi Long's game has been compared to another fight earlier this year in which a self-proclaimed Tai Chi master was defeated by an MMA fighter.

Xu Xiaodong, an MMA coach from Beijing, took down Tai Chi-practising Wei Lei in less than 10 seconds in front of shocked spectators on April 27 in Sichuan Province, south-east China.

I recall in the 70's the Thai boxers beat the best of Hong Kong fighters. The mainland came late into the game, fighting has been around for centuries in Thailand with contests against bare knuckle fighters from Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, they are tough fighters from a country where every village has a training club. The WuShu is a performance art, superbly athletic but without the experience of the traditional arts of the pre communist era. They have to up their game

This is why Thai boxing/MMA gym's are popping up here and there in China nowadays. The young one's that want to study pugilistic arts have no faith in WuShu

Entertaining first round. in the second, it looked
Like Yi Long either gassed or was hurt. Sitthichai targets some great kicks into Yi Long's abdomen which might of contributed to him gassing.

I remember this also, they said it was because of the gloves then went back with out the gloves
and still got killed. To be expected... :P

However there are some teachers that have been and are adapting CMA to the format....This was something that some of the people I trained under in the 70s understood and did....Not a big fan of the modifications but understood the need. To each his own. :-\


David Chin, has a stable of fighters and continues to modify his style and training to reflect the type of fighting they'll encounter.
He even has fighters come over to spar with his people so that they get the feeling of what they'll be up against

Some of his work,,

David Ross, another hop gar exponent also has modified his training specifically for the ring.

I moved wayne's and willie's post here to reply, since I moved my post here.

The writer of the article in the OP mistakenly attached the title of one of their own website's articles to Yi Long. When actually, the video with that title was about Wei Lei, a tai chi practitioner. I am not aware of anyone calling Yi Long a tai chi practitioner after he lost.

Now that's appropriate. About time. People who don't really understand what's going on seem to think that he lost because of a superior Style. That couldn't be further from the truth. He finally lost after a lot of wins 2 one of the best mauy thai champions ever. On that level it wasn't the style it was the man. Not to mention the rules favored the champion

Many of the fans like to support a CMA celebrity and have limited knowledge of superior fighting skills.

On that level, it may not be as much about the man. As much as, it is about how the man is trained in a martial art(s). Fighters look to their coaches for guidance in how to apply their martial art's principles, strategies and techniques to resistant opponents (at any range). Chen Jia Gou, the home of Chen Style Tai Chi, recognizes this by incorporating Sanda training (e.g., padwork, sparring, etc.) for their fighters. The author of an article at http://chentaijiquanworld.blogspot.com/ ... -chen.html, commented "Some of the Chen guys are very experienced fighters. Chen Ziqiang has been preparing them for quite a long time, sending his teams out to get experience fighting sanda guys in China."

Regarding Wu Lin Feng rules, they favor CMA over Muay Thai by limiting clinching, knees and elbows:
• Attacking the other party using the head, elbows or any action by reversing joints is prohibited.
• Knee attacks are allowed once at a time only; continuous use of such is not allowed.

@ 1:58 and @ 2:50 the referee warns Sitthichai of the knees.

No shame in getting knocked out from a head kick. It happens to Muay Thai fighters too. Someone can train to take knees, elbows, and low kicks, and still get knocked out cold by a good shot.

People speak about CMA power generation. However, in this fight you can see the power generation of Sitthichai was a lot more effective, than Yi Long's.

A quick KO or submission may not be representative of a fighter's overall skill. Case in point: Ronda Rousey.

Feel for Yi Long a little. He was KO'd in his previous fight as well. I kind of expected it really. His shtick was that he could take punch, but IMHO his boxing skill isn't really there. He can throw a decent combination, but his footwork is not so great and he just isn't able to put people on the defensive. As the skill level of his opponents goes up, he isn't going to be able to ride the punches. Especially opponents that can take a few punches and come back with change.

I agree with aamc - Yi Long does not have much in the way of actual boxing skills. I would love to see him go up against a professional boxer in the same weight class - it would be a very short fight IMO.

I belive hes trained in "iron shirt" it seems to be something he feels is effective and demos it in some of his matches.

no he would not survive with a boxer of the same weight class using this skill as he does.
The skill set seems to have influenced his strategies not avoiding or covering for the shots he takes
feeling that his "iron shirt" protects him....This might work for some or most people until he starts to get into
those who have proven skill....then it might become a liability.....

After that first kick to the head when he was following up the heel kick that surprised them both, it was pretty much over, IMHO. He got a couple shots in, but he was severely rattled. Anybody who DIDN'T train taking a lot of trauma to the head would probably have been down there easy.

All in all, a fighter lost a fight. Everybody loses eventually unless they just stop fighting first. Part of why it's so pointless.
