What it’s like to watch live MMA in China
WBK had a show in Qingdao, obviously being an MMA fan I had to attend.
3 KOs, 2 subs and 1 TKO. T’was a good event, I was impressed.
They didn’t sell any snacks, beer or water (drink tap from the fountain if you dare lol) – I sat there for 4 hours hungry, thirsty and cold, but it was worth the experience. Chinese audience are comedy. The Thai coaches would make a sound every time their guy would land a leg kick, so, the Chinese started randomly making the sound all through out the fight even when there was no contact, and when the guy was leaving haha. They were trolling suuuuupeer hard. Yelling “bite him”, “look at his stubby legs, stop kicking your kicks suck”, ” he fights like my son and he’s 9″. Then the roar when a chinese fighter KO’d a japanese fighter, they went bananas. Whole experience was gold. Not a big turn out and sometimes they were laughing during the fight, but I have no idea what they were laughing at, apparently leg locks are funny, I don’t know. All in all, would attend another for sure.
