Chapter 278: The terrifying Chiba Maei
Decilian's Muay Thai is ferocious, but he clearly underestimated the terrifying nature of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which is a striking martial arts skill that is completely unskilled in ground combat.
If you follow the rules of striking grappling, such as kickboxing rules, Hawes-Gracie is certainly no match for Muay Thai.
In fact, Muay Thai and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu are completely two extremes.
Muay Thai is fierce and powerful with ferocious strikes, while Brazilian Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is skillful and flexible.
The fight between the two is like a python fighting a crocodile.
Muay Thai is like a crocodile, fierce and brutal, full of power, able to burst out in the shortest possible time, with coherent and domineering movements.
And Brazilian Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is like a python, using grappling to suffocate the opponent and unable to move.
The python fights with the crocodile, if it is not bitten in the first time, once it is entangled by the python, the result will definitely be swallowed by the python and there is not even slag left.
In fact, any fighting skill in the world, as long as it is highly skilled, will definitely be understood and then cracked.
It's like Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil, which is invincible in the UFC, but after a few years, other martial arts schools have studied it and figured out how to crack it.
The next matches became more and more exciting, and the fights were very intense.
In the eighth match, it was the Dutch tyrant Peter Azig, who lost to Japanese Masaei Chiba in the K1 top kickboxing arena and did not win the K1 title.
However, no one dares to underestimate the strength of Peter Az, whose leg sweep is fierce and domineering, and his strength is beyond the capacity of the human body.
Facing Peter Aziz is American karate champion Bengao.
There was no suspense in the match, and just twenty seconds later, Peter Aziz kicked Bengao off the ring with a ferocious kick.
Wang Ben sat in the guest seat and was taken aback.
"Damn, it seems that the strength of this guy Peter Azzy has also improved a lot, if Zhendong meets him, I'm afraid he will be defeated!"
Peter Aziz's leg sweeps and kicks are not only super powerful, the key is that they are fast, incredibly fast, and if this kick is on him, he will probably be kicked down.
However, brother wants to see if his legs are fast or Lao Tzu's legs are fast!
Compared with leg skills, Lao Tzu has never been afraid of anyone, you must know my brother's leg skills, even the old man in the realm of chemical strength is full of praise.
Thinking of this, Wang Ben's heart itched, and he couldn't wait to have two tricks with Peter Azi.
Since there is no turn-based tournament in the martial arts tournament, the game moves very quickly, and there are rarely fights of more than five minutes.
The players who finally advanced to the top 16 were all very good.
One of the most impressive is the Japanese Chiba Masaei.
Five seconds!
That's right, it's five seconds, which is the shortest time record for a martial arts tournament competition, and Chiba Maei kicked his opponent to the ground and couldn't get up in five seconds.
After Wang Ben saw Chiba Zhenying, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Chiba Maei's leg method is very simple, there are no superfluous movements, and he kicks when he raises his legs, which is very similar to the kicking style in the underground boxing world.
"Damn, did this guy fight in the underground boxing arena? Or did you train at a black boxing training camp? Wang Ben was a little surprised.
For some reason, Wang Ben suddenly had the feeling of meeting a strong enemy, which was amazing.
Although he had never seen Chiba Maei before, from the moment he saw him, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he would fight Chiba Maei sooner or later, and it was inevitable!
On the first day of the martial arts conference, all sixteen matches were over, the second day was a break time, and the third day was a sixteen-in-eight duel.
Those who can enter the top 16 are all masters, so no one can say for sure who will win.
Wang Ben slightly assessed the strength of these sixteen players, and the strongest should be the Japanese Chiba Maei.
In second place is Peter Azzi, his leg skills are too strong, and his reflexes are very strong, his strength is extremely good, and he is as fierce as a wolf!
In third place, it should be Hawes Gracie, this guy is almost invincible in ground tactics, and there are not many people on the scene who can pose a threat to him except for Chiba Masaei and Peter Azi.
And Hoyce Gracie isn't simply proficient in ground tactics, and his striking fighting skills are also very well-rounded, which is very difficult to deal with.
Just like Muay Thai champion Decilian used his powerful Muay Thai punches to take him down for three minutes and ended up being dragged to the canvas, the biggest variable is Hawes-Gracie.
If Peter Aziz or Maei Chiba were to be beaten lightly and dragged to the canvas by Hoyce Gracie, they would also be defeated.
In fourth place is a Russian, proficient in Sambo, named Walker Khan, an officer in the Russian Federation Army and a true master of Sambo fighting.
Of course, Wang Ben clearly knows that this Walker Khan is not simple, in the late nineties, he became the myth of Russian Sambo fighting, and in the twenty-first century, this guy became the chief instructor of Sambo fighting in the Russian Federation!
Sambo is a very powerful martial arts skill, and it is not accurate to say that it is a fighting skill.
Because, Sambo is generally used on the battlefield, with the title of "battlefield fighting skills", with only one purpose, that is, to knock down the opponent at all costs, which is a compulsory course for the Russian military and agents.
Wang Ben had met Sambo masters before, and the Russian red-blooded Chekov was proficient in Sambo, but Chekov was just a soldier from the army, and he was more capable of fighting, so he was not a real master.
But Walker Khan is different, this guy's Sambo is very terrifying, and in the first round, he defeated his opponent in less than half a minute.
Even, Wang Ben didn't dare to guarantee that Hoyce Gracie could beat Walker Khan!
Hoyce-Gracie's main means of attack is on the ground, but Sambo's ground tactics are definitely not weak, Sambo absorbs Mongolian wrestling, and the ground combat is also very terrifying.
Of course, who will die in the end depends on their respective performances.
As for Chen Zhendong, Wang Ben thinks it would be very good if he could reach the quarterfinals.
Cai Li Fo's fist is powerful and domineering, but Chen Zhendong has not yet broken through to the level of dark energy, he is more than strong and not soft, and it is difficult to gain an advantage when he encounters a fierce opponent.
As a guest, Wang Ben understood why the organizer invited him to be a guest instead of a contestant.
First, he is a professional boxing champion, and the appearance fee has reached an astonishing level, if he is invited to fight, without a suitable appearance fee, Wang Ben will definitely refuse, and it is impossible for Stewart and the three major professional boxing organizations to agree.
Second, he is now the pride of the Chinese, called the most capable Chinese by the media, and will definitely not shoot casually, unless it can be like the Portuguese and Muay Thai king Mengchai matches, the organizers give sky-high rewards and appearance fees, obviously, this is very unfair to other fighters and will affect the mood of other fighters.
Third, since the death of Bruce Lee, there is no representative figure in Chinese martial arts, and it just so happens that Liang Shouyu, the president of the International Martial Arts Federation, is Chinese, in order to be able to support the scene, only Wang Ben is invited to be a guest, and only Wang Ben has such prestige at present.
In fact, prestige is such a thing as being made by fighting, and it is useless to rely on words.
Wang Ben defeated the Japanese, defeated the Koreans, defeated the Thai, and maintained a record of all victories and knockouts in the professional boxing world, which is more prestigious than anyone in the martial arts fighters on the scene.
Who has such a brilliant record as him?
Therefore, even if he is the youngest among all the guests, no one dares to question it, and no one dares to object!
To put it nicely, Wang Ben is now a flag, representing the mysterious and powerful banner of Chinese martial arts!
Of course, in the guest seat, Wang Ben's seat is close to the edge, and in the middle are boxing champions Ali and Dashan Beida.
It can be seen that the organizer attaches great importance to the guests, although Wang Ben's personal prestige is very high, but the spread of the world's martial arts is his weakness, after all, he is too young and has an extremely limited impact on martial arts.
