Bullying is too good at martial arts (116)
Hulleodeng-.
In front of the scale, Haojun Li suddenly pulled down his trunks.
“Kyaaak-.”
The moment when several women reporters covered their eyes with small screams at the sublime sight.
Li Haojun’s cornermen brought a towel at the perfect timing to cover his lower body.
The moment the towel appeared, Coach Juvis jumped up and shouted.
“Those swindlers-!”
Some reporters were also buzzing together, but the WFC 390 weigh-in, which was supervised by the Beijing Sports Commission, continued without interruption.
Only after she was naked did Li Haojun get on the scale.
“Whoa-.”
Mugyeol did not miss the moment the scale on the analog scale exceeded 90kg.
“!”
However, when Li Haojun lightly held the towel covering his lower body, the scale on the scale dropped to 85kg.
As soon as the scale reached the limit weight, the weigh-in scorer loudly declared passing.
“Lee Haojun passed the 85kg weight limit!”
However, the cheers didn’t burst out like in the innocent days, instead the buzz grew louder.
Clearly something was going wrong.
“Now, this concludes all weigh-ins for WFC 390!”
The host hurriedly finished weighing in, and the event ended without a separate media conference.
It was obviously not an ordinary weigh-in.
Obviously, the scale of the analog scale soared to over 90kg in an instant.
Right after the weigh-in, Ariel Watson started a podcast live with her brother Phil Watson to report on this ‘weird’ weigh-in.
“Hello martial arts lovers. Did everyone watch the live weigh-in broadcast? Uh, if you’re a long-time fan of MMA, you’ve probably seen a scene that’s pretty familiar. The way Haojun Li stepped on the scale and the weight dropped as soon as he grabbed the towel.”
“Wow, did you use some kind of magic?”
“It’s a strange thing. Everyone knows how difficult it is to lose weight, right? Some players overdo it and even pass out. But Li Haojun did it simply by holding the towel lightly. Are you really a great player?”
“I think I’ve seen some kind of déjà vu.”
“Yes, in the past, Daniel Cormier performed a similar trick. I stripped down to the bottom and grabbed the towel that came in for reporters’ eye health! Well, you lost about 15 pounds (about 6 kg) in no time.”
“Hmm, that’s really strange. Strange. Why did the WFC let this shit go?”
“Simple. Although it is a competition organized by the WFC, in fact, the WFC is not in charge of everything. WFC competitions are created through the collaboration of various organizations. In North American competitions, the Juche Athletic Committee dispatches judges and weigh-in staff, and USADA is in charge of drug testing. The Chinese competition is the same. Weigh-ins are not the responsibility of the WFC. In this case, the Beijing Sports Commission was in charge of weighing in.”
“Wow wow wow. Can you do this? Isn’t this a huge home advantage?”
“that’s right. There’s a reason why Brazilian players love Brazil so much. In martial arts, home advantage is much bigger than you think. But something so blatant… It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. If you put it good, it’s old school, and if you put it bad, you can say China is China.”
“Wow China was China. Is that a good word?”
“Well, you can see that.”
“Oh, but I have to be careful with this. You never know when we might be caught.”
While Ariel and Phil Watson are weighing in at WFC 390.
After returning to the dorm, Coach Juvis swears at Li Haojun in a direct way.
“Those swindlers! Isn’t that too much?”
“Coach, calm down.”
“Do I look real? Somebody is an asshole and loses weight while shedding blood and sweat!”
Of course, Juvis’s anger had a basis.
A so-called ‘towel cheating’ in which a towel is gently held to cover important parts to deceive the scale.
It has been quite common in the US college athletic world, including the NCAA, and is often seen in MMA as well.
When an athlete steps on the scale and grabs the towel lightly, surprisingly, even very slight tension can fool the weight by up to 20 pounds.
“It is probably correct to say that Haojun Li weighed at least 88 kg at the weigh-in, and probably more than 90 kg.”
“Hmm.”
“If I used VV on top of that, I would probably come out with a weight close to 100kg.”
“…”
“Does this make sense? A player weighing 0.1 ton appears in an 85kg competition!”
Li Haojun’s cheating made Juvis even more angry.
However, Mugyeol was calmer than expected.
“Isn’t a flawless player angry? This is like attempted murder.”
“Ah, it’s an attempted murder only if he can hit me.”
“Haha, do you really want to win without getting hit? Haojun Li has good hitting skills. Gilbert Johnson also struggled quite a bit!”
“I can get hit by a few.”
Mugyeol’s expression showed the confidence of ‘never losing’.
“But in the end, I will win.”
“…That confidence alone is amazing.”
“Besides, the more you do that, the uglier it gets when you lose.”
“That’s it, but…”
“I’m already looking forward to it. What excuse would a guy who did a towel show naked at the weigh-in gym where he crawled out of the press conference because he was robbed and kicked out?”
Juvis was surprised by his flawless boldness.
If it had been like the other players, he would have gone wild and said he would file a lawsuit against the Beijing Sports Commission.
But innocence was different.
“Besides, it was something I had to go through anyway.”
“What kind of small child is that?”
“I’m playing in the middle right now, but if I go up to heavy, I’ll probably play against guys who are 10kg heavier than me in every game. If I can’t adapt here, I’ll have to see that my capabilities are only up to that level in the end.”
“….”
“I am confident Coach. You can win 0.1 ton or whatever.”
At first, Gil-gil was angry at Juvis, but I was rather moved by his calm and innocent appearance.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone like you, Cha Moo Gyeol.”
“I don’t have any answers.”
“yes. There really is no answer.”
“Haha, you throw too fast.”
“That’s why you need people around you to find answers. In the future, no matter what weight class Cha Moo-gyeol goes to, I will exclusively help her with weight management.”
“Is that true?”
“yes. Even now, there are a lot of guys in line because they want to sign a contract with me, but there is a player I want to work with.”
“Oh, what an honor.”
The world was noisy with Li Haojun’s ‘towel cheating’, but the integrity was unwavering.
After defeating D’Angelo, he was more confident in his own skills.
There is no one stronger than me in this weight class now.
The rest of the game is just a process of proof.
After winning the title quickly, he moves up to the next weight class.
The flawless eyes were already aiming higher.

“Damn it, Chinese bastards-!”
Right after the weigh-in, Dave White was furious.
“I didn’t leave the weigh-ins to those bastards! Even if it was a little overbearing, we should have dispatched the Nevada or California State Board to take care of the job!”
However, it was impossible to undo the weigh-ins that had already been completed.
Dave White called Mugyeol with a nervous expression.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
-no. what would you do
“I’m going to get over it at most, but this was a very obvious cheat. How can you cancel or delay the game if you want?”
-it’s okay. You don’t have to.
“…Are you really going to be okay?”
-Yes. Thank you for your concern.
Mugyeol hung up the phone in a calm tone, but Dave White was on the verge of going crazy.
After a long time, an amazing star who will lead the box office success of the entire WFC has appeared.
However, if you fall victim to the Chinese guy’s dirty cheating here, nothing could be more dog-like from the WFC’s point of view.
However, it is difficult to return the game now.
More than anything, Mugyeol wants the game.
‘Is there even a place to believe?’
But how could they overcome the 10kg difference in weight?
In the end, until the moment he sat in the VVIP seat on the day of the game, Dave White couldn’t erase his nervousness.
[WFC 390 in BEIJING! Finally, only the final game is ahead!! The main event everyone has been waiting for!! Now, the two players are entering the arena!!]
[Super rookie Cha Moo-gyeol, who is gaining momentum with 4 consecutive wins in the WFC, is the hope and pride of 1.3 billion people,
Lee Hao-jun!!
Despite the ‘towel gate’, the 35,000 spectators who gathered at the venue cheered enthusiastically when Haojun Li appeared.
No matter what anyone says, this is the home ground of Haojun Lee.
The size of Haojun Lee, who looks gigantic just by looking at it.
Mugyeol also had a massive skeleton, but in terms of thickness, he was no match for Li Haojun.
“Damn, aren’t you really losing after doing this…?”
[Yang Yang is on the way to the Octagon!! The referee acknowledges the warning and sends the two fighters to the corner!!]
[Round 1 begins with a warning sound!! Both players move their feet to occupy the center of the octagon!!]
Sasak-.
The first one to lightly move his feet was the Cha Moo-gyeol side.
A much lighter in and out step than Haojun Lee.
It was light footwork that reminded me of a lightweight boxer.
Mugyeol approached with ease and jabbed Li Haojun between his eyebrows and the bridge of his nose.
Pababang-.
[The opening hit is flawless!! High quality jab today!! It is not an exaggeration to say that the level of this jab is the best in the WFC!!]
[Jab that extends from a long reach reaching 210cm!! Moogyeol Cha has always created the rhythm of his attacks starting with this setup!!]
The jab jab jab burst out, but Li Haojun’s movement did not stop.
“Hehe, what is this?”
Wiping the bridge of his nose lightly, Li Haojun grinned.
After weighing in at 90.8kg at the weigh-in, his current weight is 101.8kg after regaining 11kg with the VV fluid pack.
It was a whopping 10kg heavier than Mugyeol, who regained 7kg.
So the unweighted jab couldn’t hit him.
‘Isn’t this enough?’
Haojun Lee cut through a storm of jabs and slowly pressed for integrity.
Soon after, as soon as his punching distance came out, he hit a series of bloody overhand hooks carrying 100kg of weight.
Whoop whoop-.
The sound of cutting the wind rang in Innocent’s ears.
Mugyeol narrowly avoided the blow by a piece of paper and quickly returned to the side step.
Papababang-.
A series of flash-like jabs exploded, but light fists could not damage Li Haojun.
Another heavy advance and hook combination like a meat train.
Whoa-!
[This is a huge pressure!! Haojun Lee is putting Cha Mu-gyeol into a corner!!]
[I think we can take the down with just one shot!! This will be a difficult task even for Cha Moo-gyeol!!]
Every time Lee Hao-jun swings his fist, the audience gulps.
Even to a person who is not familiar with martial arts, the thickness of the two people’s bodies seemed to be quite different.
“Ugh, if you get hit by even one of these…”
“It’s probably going to be difficult to recover?”
30 seconds, 40 seconds, 1 minute.
The time of bloody pressure was getting longer.
Mugyeol had to tour all eight corners of the Octagon.
[Lee Haojun I’m swinging it with the thought that it will only take one shot!! It looks bloody from the outside, but the pressure Cha Moo-gyeol feels is more than you can imagine!!]
[If you get hit with just one hit like that, it’ll be a big deal…!]
But.
Huung-.
It didn’t fit.
“…Shit!”
Whoa-!
It’s literally the difference between a single piece of paper and a single strand of hair.
Li Haojun’s fist attacked only the afterimage of flawlessness like a ghost.
The belated kick also cut through the air.
Unknowingly, Mugyeol returned to a place where Li Haojun could not hit and piled up damage one by one with the jab.
[Cha Mu-gyeol absolutely dodges!! Cha Mu-gyeol keeps dodging and annoys me with jab jab jabs!!]
[Cha Moo-gyeol has always shown off a hard puncher style, so this style is also unfamiliar!! He’s a perfect fighter with excellent out-fighting!!]
It’s a dangerous game if you take one shot.
But how are you going to hit that one shot?
He was flawless having played tens of thousands of rounds with Roy Jones Jr.
It was almost impossible to hit him with just your fists.
Eventually, you will have to approach it with a punch and kick grappling combination.
“Get lost-!”
It was Li Haojun, who threw a big middle kick after straightening his back hand and aimed for cage cutting.
snap-!
“!?”
At just the right moment, Mugyeol snatched Li Haojun’s Achilles tendon.
[It’s a key kick catch! Cha Moogyeol player Lee Haojun’s middle kick is snatched exquisitely!!]
[Now, does the counterattack start here!? There are many attack patterns that Cha Moogyeol can show here!!]
