Matthew 7:21

[@Kal93]

When Kim was on his back and Xie had just stood up, it was HILARIOUS how Xie just grabbed Kim's ankle and, literally, started kicking Kim's butt 😂

[@Creator_Veeto_PAEACP]

I loved it because he conditions Kim to expect it and i think Kim thought he could catch his breath and then Xie switches last second to throw a massive haymaker to try and end it. Brilliant fight IQ.

[@alexturnqest6202]

His balance and footwork is downright phenomenal to watch. He’s a power striker but he glides across the ground in such a smooth and steady fashion. He really does stalk his prey!

[@blasblasblas2094]

That's made in China. Most of the time it doesn't last long and you will have to buy a new one all over again. 😅😅😅

[@IAmWizdom1000]

The way he calmly applies pressure is impressive! He’s very patient for a striker.

[@blinkbubs3994]

​@@blasblasblas2094 casually racist, youre a weirdo

[@myfaves2974]

That's shows how hard he trains mabu ( horse stance ) 😊

Never underestimate the legs of a Shaolin Monk. If you watch their daily training, you'll know they never heard of skipping leg day.

[@tankjones513]

Their version of leg day makes the entire western hemispheres population look like a bunch of jello legged people lol.

[@myfaves2974]

1 word .... Horse stance 😊

[@minimonkeyplay]

I heard that Muay Thai fighters are just as powerful their knees and kicks sound like a firecracker went off.

[@RomanSookar]

Xie's peripheral vision is immense. Seeing those kicks and just being out of the way of them, some of those strikes as well, especially against Agasa. Baiting him into a heavy throw and shifting out the way of it.

[@muhbussy9813]

It's easy to see your opponents body when they're 4 feet

[@talesfromthecrypto3698]

Xie is epic. An incredible sportsman

[@danyak1034]

14:03 Kim used the “illegal sibling” move 😂 When u have a fight with your sibling and they pull that move

[@RenzoChen-eq4ko]

I was thinking the same thing Lmaoo🤣

[@josephgulo6036]

especially when he grabbed Kim's feet

[@alexandrubarbu4746]

I dont like how agasa has just ONE plan in the whole fight - like " i nEeD a tAeKdowN" - that cuddeling is going no where - xie has brilliantly defended those attempts and continued using clean technique in standup FIGHTING

[@swiggybooty3210]

Not to mention just feinting and doing big footwork for no reason constantly draining his stamina while xie essentially just holds ground

[@JohnLegend2906]

Fr I hate takedown spammers

[@RyomenRishabxgarou]

Bro maybe he is not good at striking and he knew it that's why went for the takedown

[@wardosravin]

Yeah this is why I'm not so crazy about watching MMA. Its also not much use if the other person is allowed to bite. He would be taking chunks out of his face everytime he was pushing him against the cage.

[@asylumental]

It's MMA, you people gotta shut up about when people want to wrestle and do jujitsu, or just watch the muy-thai and kick boxing divisions of ONE championship. You people are so fricken annoying, STOP COMPLAINING THAT THEY USE A MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT MARTIAL ARTS IN A SPORT LITERALLY CALLED MIXED MARTIAL ARTS. apart from that, yeah I agree Agasa was very 1 dimensional and was completely outclassed in this fight.

[@lumburgapalooza]

His control of distance and spacing is robotically perfect. VERY talented fighter and his style is so entertaining to watch!

[@heiyoo_kya23]

This is the type of guy you don't wanna mess with

[@MegaVidsMike]

i don't watch alot of fighting stuff, but i can tell Xie is very good at damage mitgation, very good at cornering his opponent, and the man has some very fast hands. but all that and he's probably one of the most level headed calm fighters i've ever seen, and very hard to take down. the way he moves and responds in almost complete sync with his opponent, means he's prepared for just about anything. very skilled individual.

[@asylumental]

This just randomly came up in my feed and I had to stop and watch just because of his crazy footwork

[@Swagg3r3d]

Take down defense from Xie was nuts

[@idontwhy3132]

modern shaolin training incorporates mma style sparring. that in combination with the hyper-focused reflexes discovered through meditation and the uncanny grit from some of the training they do makes them some of the best fighters

[@kurtdupree1254]

The Xie ve Chan fight was great. Both of them so much speed, power, and endurance, and with crazy strong kicks too

[@GeoGuy-vh5ym]

Xie's final liver hit on Kim was absolutely insane man, nobody is gonna just power through that one

[@kevinvalui6364]

What a fighter,strength, stamina,Shaolin monk is highly tempered.

Palm heel strike? That was a slap.

[@camcade8354]

Actually my new favorite fighter, hes collected and a quick thinker

[@jazzguitarcollege]

How come they don’t mention of the obvious difference in physical strengths? XIE is clearly fighting a much stronger human being.

[@thotting]

because it depends on how u view muscle definition doesn’t always mean stronger

[@paranormalabilitynetwork1434]

​@@thotting exactly. @jazzguitarcollege, he is a former shaolin monk. Look up their training. What they do on a daily basis for physical and mental strength is awe aspiring.

[@cifei36]

The much stronger person ran away the whole fight? Clearly Xie has more power.

[@lights0ut503]

Size doesn't determine strength my manypu can be physically smaller and still be stronger than the other dude. Depending on methods of training. Calithenics is a massive example of size to power ratio as well as muscle definition and appearance

[@IAmWizdom1000]

@@lights0ut503just learned recently that good hypertrophy doesn’t always equate to strength. Strength is actually a lot more mental than we give credit for.

[@user-md1uq2rp3f]

Shaolin Monk? The title is wrong. The announcer is correct Shaolin trained is correct.

[@LavaGolem65]

Shaolin is all about the nature of body movement. They have countless styles and moves, and all of them are perfectly adapted to how human body works best. That's a reason he did those powerful attacks with little observable effort.

[@shadyplays1]

At 6:13 xie throws a elbow and you can literally hear the wind

[@abeff]

one guy struggling to finds a way to win while other guy just having fun

[@BlackPlectrum]

I know nothing about MMA but the title got me interested and I gotta say, that Chan guy looked so scared in the beginning of the fight

[@reddtells5244]

He's fast! And accurate 👌

[@JITENDRAKUMAR-wv9ki]

Thanks Shaolin monk.

[@FlyingGreenTea]

There are two types of Shaolin: Northern and Southern. Both are real. People who talk negatively about Shaolin have never met actual Shaolin practitioners, particularly the ones from China. If you still don't believe it, book a ticket, go to China and spar with an actual 32nd to 36th Chamber of Shaolin and you will know.

That monk is definetly the cool bad boy that got exiled from the sect, and all the little kids there look up to him😂

[@ex0duzz]

I very much doubt that he's a monk, probably just trained at Shaolin or an affiliated school. One in tens of thousands.. they even train foreigners at these same Shaolin schools.. Real Shaolin monks don't have any ambition to be famous/rich/materialistic or to fight in MMA/pro fighting or even fighting in general.. They do the opposite actually and avoid fighting unless they need it for self defense and there's no other option like to run away.. Hurting others for fame/money is the complete opposite of Chinese or Shaolin philosophy and what monks believe and teach. Shaolin itself would not support such actions and no current Shaolin monk would be allowed to or even want to fight professionally even if they were allowed since it goes against all their teachings and philosophy.

[@blaynegreiner9365]

He isn't a Shaolin monk, he is Shaolin trained. There is q huge difference.

[@Sword420]

[@LazyboyZZZyobyzaL]

Xie has pretty good striking game. He would be deadly if he added some ground technuque

[@seer3336]

I have essentially no MMA knowledge, can someone help me understand what was going on around 14:00? When Xie let go of Kim why did Kim remain on the ground instead of getting back up? When the 40 seconds ran out it seemed that he was perfectly capable of standing back up but he chose not to

[@oonmm]

Xie used a so-called Shaolin shadow technique on him, his opponent didn't realize what was happening to him - but basically he couldn't get up. Thing is that when they do that to you your brain still thinks that everything is fine, and that you are deliberately choosing to stay down, but in reality you are temporarily partly disabled. It won't have any lasting consequences, but the monks - who are the only ones who knows ho to perform it - won't be actively attacking someone for the duration as it goes against their training. You can see how he's just range checking until he suddenly explodes on him as soon as the effect ends.

[@user-jk5um1om8l]

Just trying to bait him into a grappling match on the ground, where he is technically superior? Xie wasn’t biting though. 😂 Smart way to catch your breath too if you’re a bit overwhelmed in the standing exchanges.

[@Eric-dd8bk]

The first grappling guy is a joke and COA is a monster. But 11:23 That Korean guy is no joke either.

[@ugniusnumas8434]

clinical

[@boybohol304]

Very good gigh5er

[@EtHphX444]

Placing his hand over his opponents mouth while he's exhausted is a speedy way to keep them from catching they're breath while breathing so heavy. Lack of oxygen limits fighters movements and will make them react in ways of getting air rather then focusing on the fight and is in no way against any rules being that chokes are 80% of mma.
