An outcast is too good at martial arts (187)
Samoan A nation with a tradition that the heavier the rock, the better it is, and the bigger the body, the more beautiful it is.
In professional sports, Samoan’s strength has long been quite famous.
The greatest legend would be rugby legend Joena Romu.
A monster who ran 100m in 10 seconds 8 with a body of 197cm and 125kg.
No matter how clingy the defenders were, the sight of them advancing with them like tanks shocked the viewers.
Those who collided with him had flesh crushed and bones broken, and the scene where he and the defender collided was more like a car accident than a body check.
There are examples of Samoans being active in the fighting world as well.
Mark Hunt, who was called a ‘lazy genius’, is a prime example.
He started to learn grappling in his late 30s after playing in stand-up fighting, and showed competitiveness at the top level of MMA, proving his racial excellence.
More than anything else, what made him great was his tenacity beyond imagination.
The scene where he sat down for a while after being hit with a full-powered high kick by Mirco Cro Cop and then woke up was astounding to people all over the world.
The secret is the unimaginable thickness of the neck, the rigidity of the cervical vertebrae, and the widely developed lower jaw.
Thai Tuakan also had these characteristics of Samoan intact.
He was 188cm tall, slightly smaller than the average heavyweight, but with an average weight of 130kg, his drum-like physique proved that he was a ‘natural heavyweight’.
Even he was of mixed race, born between a Samoan and a black man.
When the skeleton of the strongest fighting race of all mankind and the muscles of a black man with elasticity close to that of an animal met, a human being who had no choice but to be strong was born.
However, Thai Tuakan’s career has been far from a championship belt.
Born with the optimistic, laid-back nature of Samoans, he had little interest in building a great career.
He liked to eat, so he often failed at weigh-ins, and because of that, he hated Dave White.
Just fight once or twice a year and earn enough to live on.
That was his mindset for the fight.
However, things changed a little after he found out his wife was pregnant with triplets.
He had four children before, so it was Tuakan who would soon become the father of seven children.
Besides, the first child will start school soon, so he will need more and more money.
“Why do you send your children to school? Teach them spearfishing and haka. Our wives…”
“Noisy! Do you know what kind of prehistoric time this is!?”
“…Okay, you just have to earn money…”
No matter how ‘Injagang’ Samoan was, he couldn’t stand his wife’s fiery command.
“Should I prepare more seriously this time?”
In the meantime, I climbed into the Octagon with the mindset that all I had to do was run.
Of course, even with a rough swing, the opponents knocked him down, so he once rose to 3rd place in the rankings.
After taking a break from straight for nearly a year, the ranking, which was 3rd, dropped to 6th.
But this time it’s different.
“To have triplets, this is a blessing.”
Prepare to receive God’s blessings.
…In addition, I had a strong desire to escape from my wife’s nagging.
Coincidentally, there was a perfect opponent in the heavyweight division.
Cha Mu-gyeol, who is said to be using his fists in the heavyweight division these days.
In fact, it seems that he is an athlete who has mastered not only MMA but also the boxing Olympics, but in fact, I am not sure what is so great about him.
“I don’t know if it’s complicated, can’t we just fight and win?”
He even put a bounty of nearly 10 million dollars on his neck.
Tuacán spoke about the matter with his coach, Nuno Esperanza.
“Will Nuno fight me?”
“well. If it were me, I would never fight you, but if it were him, it might be a little different.”
“why?”
“His hair is a little weird. If you can, you go to the octagon regardless of the opponent.”
“okay? Are you in need of money?”
“Haha, probably not. He’s already ranked number one in the sports star income rankings for three years now.”
“…I’m fucking envious.”
Well, that means you can put a bounty of over 10 million dollars on it.
Tuakan nodded.
“Okay then, shall we blow the cuckoo?”
“try. You have nothing to lose, right?”
“Okay, okay.”
After several messages came and went, the agreement between the players was over.
Tuacán cheered and said to Coach Esperanza.
“Nuno, I’m going to work out really hard this time. I swear to God!”
“His god…is lenient even if he breaks his promise every time.”
“It’s different this time! My wife is pregnant with triplets!”
“You’re not trying to make rough preparations and then collect every price, right?”
Coach Esperanza didn’t believe him, but this time it was really different.
Tuacan has been more diligent than ever in training.
Even before the match was confirmed, I started to lose weight by adjusting my diet.
I also worked hard on grappling training, which I didn’t like to do.
“Is it a style that takes about seven children to grow up with?”
Esperanza tilted her head, but Tuacan didn’t care and tapped the punching bag.
I wasn’t really interested in titles like ‘the world’s strongest man’.
The most important thing to him is family first and family second.
He needs money to make his family happy, and his most confident means of earning money is fighting.
However, the opponent is not easy, so you have to train hard.
As if not disappointing Tuakan’s efforts, the WFC soon announced the official matchup.
[WFC 538 Mugyeol Cha vs Tai Tuakan.]
[WFC in Hawaii heavyweight main event confirmed!]
[Mungyeol Cha fighting in 1 month vs Tai Tuakan returning after 1 year.] [
Surely, ‘Ring Rust’ to Tuakan Will there be?]
“It was good!”
After the official matches were finalized, Tuakan focused on preparing for the match by increasing the amount of training.
There are only 6 weeks left until the game.
Tai Tuakan has trained himself with the most intense training since he started MMA.
* * *
– Thai Tuacan? You want to fight him?
“yes. Is it possible?”
– Possible, but… He’s a repeat offender of weigh-in failures. Are you okay?
“yes. It doesn’t matter if you can’t match the weight.”
– You say it very coolly.
“Besides, this time I’m probably going to get my weight right. Because my wife is pregnant with triplets.”
– Oh, that’s really scary. In about 20 years, three monsters like Tuacans will appear!
Jack Shelby and Dave White accepted the confrontation with a tilt of their heads.
From the perspective of the tournament history, there was nothing bad about the matchup.
Cha Moo Gyeol vs Thai Tua Khan would be a 100% fun match.
However, concerns were rampant in the camp of innocence.
As soon as the match was confirmed, Khalid followed Mugyeol and bombarded him with nagging comments.
“Listen perfectly. Thai Tuacans are so fucking fucking dangerous. Maybe even a tougher opponent than Rahzak Sulimani. It wasn’t an easy matchup!”
“You’ve always played difficult games.”
“That’s right. But you’ve never fought a Samoan before!”
“That’s right.”
“Oh, you don’t know how nasty they are.”
I’ve never fought, but I’ve heard of Samoans.
Earth’s strongest ‘Inja River’ race, said to have been born for battle.
Callum Maxwell was also the owner of great athletic ability, but if you look at the strength and durability of the natural physical, Thai Tuacan would be one level.
That’s why it was more expected.
Of course, his ultimate goal is to become a three-weight division champion.
However, the reason why I didn’t take a shortcut and tried to change the entire weight class was also to enjoy the process.
The WFC heavyweight where the world’s best fighters gather.
If you fight many fights in that weight class, you might be able to meet someone strong enough to make your heart tremble.
Can Thai Tuakan really live up to those expectations?
What was certain was that he seemed quite serious about this fight.
“I heard that Flawless Tuacan has already started training camp. Do you know how strange this is?”
“well. Don’t they usually prepare for six weeks?”
“no. Tuakan said that he would be ready for the game in 2-3 weeks. Most of them are roasted and roasted because they lose weight, and they don’t even do skill training.”
“You really are a lazy man.”
“Such a person set up a six-week camp! I have a good relationship with coach Esperanza, and even that man was surprised.”
“Good for you.”
But Moo Gyeol was rather happy.
Samoan Samoan Everyone sang, so I wanted to experience just how strong a race they are.
However, it would have been unpleasant to see an obese fighter who was fat with hamburgers in the arena.
If you’re going to fight, 100% vs 100%.
That was the mindset Mugyeol always maintained.
“If that man works so hard, I should prepare quickly.”
“What preparation? A strategy to avoid Tuacan’s rush?”
But Mugyeol snapped his fingers and shook his head.
“No. We need to prepare nuclear weapons to knock out the Tuacans.”
“Is it possible? He hasn’t been knocked down once in 24 fights, let alone a TKO loss.”
Khalid tilted his head, but Mugyeol was already full of anticipation.
An interesting opponent appeared after a long time.
* * *
The press conference of WFC 538 was quite heartwarming.
Tai Tuakan didn’t seem to be interested in trash talk and looked quite tired from the long-awaited, grueling camp.
“I want to eat four hamburgers right away, lie down on the floor, and go to sleep. Damn honestly, I must have regretted it 500 times in the past two weeks. Why did I say I was doing this! Do you know what my weight is now? 124 kg, 124 kg. It has never been this light in the past 10 months.”
“Haha Tuakan player. Still, you can come out in good shape in the game, right?”
“of course! I’m screaming for that. Coach Esperanza is a talented person. If I do well, the match will be prepared without any problems.”
Tuakan answered the question about the game plan in a bold manner.
“Cha Moo-gyeol is considered one of the fighters with the most weaknesses in MMA as a whole. Do you have any plans to face Cha Moo-gyeol?”
“There is no such thing. I’m just going to walk over and put my feet up and swing my fists. If that’s right, I’ll win.”
“If the blow doesn’t work…”
“I’ve never thought of that. If it doesn’t hit, hit it until it hits. It’s like an Indian rain ritual. Hit ’til it hits, that’s my basic strategy.”
“But in the meantime, Cha Mu-gyeol will also attack Tuakan.”
“doesn’t care. Most guys’ fists felt like they were bitten by mosquitoes, so I heard that this guy only uses his fists, but it must have felt like a mosquito turned into a beetle.”
“Haha beetles. Tuakan is probably the only player who can call Cha Moo-gyeol that way.”
“What are you talking about! How big are the Polynesian beetles? Almost as big as the palm of my hand.”
As he said that, he raised his palm, and a low sigh flowed from the reporters.
A gigantic palm as if a rock had been removed and glued together.
“Oh, isn’t this? It seems smaller than this.”
Tuakan put his hand down with a puzzled expression, but Mugyeol also saw the huge palm clearly.
Certainly, it won’t be easy to stay sober if you get a shot in that hand.
But that’s why I’m looking forward to it even more.
This time, the reporters’ questions were directed to Moo Gyeol.
“Then, you are a flawless player. Can you explain the prospects for this game?”
“As Toakan said, the game will be simple. Whoever gets hit by the opponent’s fist first and falls out will determine the outcome.”
“Uh, so does that mean you’re not willing to engage in a grappling fight?”
Mugyeol laughed at a novice reporter’s clumsy question.
Grappling is a huge part of MMA.
Eliminating the grappling fight was tantamount to fighting with half of the options thrown away from the point of view of Integrity.
However, Mugyeol nodded at that stupid question.
“yes. I have no intention of using grappling in this match.”
“!”
“Send or go. It’s going to be a match that’s all there is to it.”
“Oh oh-.”
The reporters unknowingly spat out exclamations.
“good! Lately I’ve been told not to eat anything, so I’m getting excited, but it’s been a long time since I’ve heard something pleasant!”
Tuakan is also smiling brightly.
“Oh no! What kind of bullshit are you talking about again!”
Only the flawless coach, Khalid, was in tears.
