< Bullying is too good at martial arts (40) >
Mugyeol’s first choice was wrestling.
The martial art that dominated various competitions in the early days of MMA was Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, no matter what anyone says.
Brazilian fighters, including the Gracie family, sank most of their opponents with their outstanding jiu-jitsu skills.
Players such as José Aldo Renan Barao and Vito Belfort, who also had the ability to strike, dominated the era and solidified Brazil’s place in the fighting world.
But then the era of wrestlers opened.
As wrestlers from the NCAA All-Americans (ranked in the top 8 in the nation in the first division of the National Collegiate Wrestling Division) Olympic team poured into the MMA world, they had to hand over the position to wrestlers who knew jiu-jitsu.
Wrestling base wrestlers basically had chubby bodies, excellent muscle strength, excellent ground pressure ability, and agile scramble (escape from danger) ability, so they quickly adapted to MMA.
Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, Chris Weidman, Georges Saint-Pierre, TJ Dillashaw, Henry Cejudo, etc. There are countless wrestlers who made their mark in MMA with their wrestling bases.
Now, in modern MMA, wrestling is so important that it has become a basic qualification that all fighters must have.
Moreover, Mugyeol’s top priority, Han Dae-geun, is also a fighter with excellent wrestling skills.
So raising the level of wrestling was inevitable.
First select wrestling with 500pt and then -.
“Let’s save the rest of the points.”
The next skill I wanted to improve after wrestling was ‘kick’.
Given his aggressive, no-frills style of play, it makes sense to have a kick that is good for boxing and also good for putting pressure on your opponent.
However, next to Mugyeol is Lim Jin-soo, a master of kicking.
There may be a convenient way to raise skills with the system, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to learn skills by building up training on training.
Of course, it will be a more difficult path, but you will be able to raise your kicking skill that way as well.
I also wondered if skills acquired without using the system were reflected in the status window.
Above all, you should leave at least 500 points so that you can run the ‘match preparation protocol’ at any time.
A fraudulent system that allows you to do intensive physical training for 6 weeks and also gives you 10 sparring opportunities.
In a situation where you don’t know when the match will be held in the future, ‘Fight Mission’ always pops up unexpectedly.
It would be very disappointing if you couldn’t use the ‘match preparation protocol’ because you didn’t have coins even though the game was held.
“I should have about 500 points left.”
Just like that, Mugyeol raised only the wrestling level and closed the status window.
Skill level up from D+ to C.
As soon as he closed the status window, 50,000 technical systems flooded into his head.
“It was good.”
It was unfamiliar at first, but now I am used to using the system to some extent.
The wrestling level in the status window has risen to ‘C’.
However, in order to use this skill naturally in real combat, it is important to master the skill perfectly through repeated training.
This is the part that I experienced while raising the skill level to D grade.
There is a clear difference between ‘knowing’ and ‘using’ technology.
I got a pretty convenient system, but in the end, you can’t get true strength without training.
Fortunately, Mugyeol was never the owner of a careless personality.
Weight training, coordination, agility, and endurance training every single day.
At RCF Jongno branch, daily grappling training with new heavyweight mates.
Once he had a sparring partner to fight against, his level of understanding of the technique went up much faster.
And three times a week, he visits Im Jin-soo’s house and takes kick lessons.
“Ego. Let’s die today too, flawless!”
“Aak, craving for the crotch!”
“You have to stretch your adductor muscles so that your kick goes up properly, you bastard.”
“Aaaaagh–!!”
In fact, the words are lessons, but Im Jin-soo’s strict class in kicks was no different from training in hell.
However, thanks to high-intensity training, his kicking technique improved day by day.
Through ‘kick sparring’ with Lim Jin-soo, he also learned how to use kicks in practice.
While he was raising his fighting level at such a rapid pace.
In early December, champion Han Dae-geun’s 7th defense was right around the corner.
* * *
December 6, 2020 RCF 88 Busan competition.
The main event was a middleweight championship match between Han Dae-geun and Jo Jun-seok.
The stadium was not as full as RCF 87, but the rough cheering of Busan’s men had a different charm.
“When will we fight!”
“Rise up and fight! I thought you came to watch me mopping the floor!”
“Zugi round girl~ Look here~”
Moo-gyeol and Im Jin-soo, and Mu-gyeol’s father, Cha Dong-gil, were also in the heat.
Finally, the main event started, and challenger Cho Jun-seok and champion Han Dae-geun reached the top of the Octagon.
“Nothing wrong. Is that the champion you called?”
“Oh, uncle. how is it? Aren’t you brutal?”
“Ugh, how far can you live… Dad is so bloody that I can’t see him.”
“You can stay home.”
“What are you talking about! My son is the next opponent, so you should take good care of your father. Besides, I really wanted to see Im Jin-soo.”
“It’s an honor for Ayu’s father.”
“no. I’m more grateful. Thank you Jinsu for always taking care of us.”
“Just feel free to call me Jinsu. Mugyeol is like a younger brother to me, so I am like a father’s son.”
Cha Dong-gil scratched his head at Im Jin-soo’s joke.
“Yes? your son? Is that so?”
“You have to think about your age. If the older brother is a son, my dad will introduce the older brother in his mid-teens…” “
Hey, hey, let’s start introducing the players!”
While the three chatted, the introduction of the players began.
“RCF 88 Main Event! The middleweight title fight starts now!”
While the announcer in the hall introduced the players, Im Jin-soo muttered to Mugyeol.
“There are strange rumors about the RCF Apgujeong Gym these days.”
“What rumors?”
“Han Dae-geun said he hasn’t been to the gym for more than two months. Have you ever fought in Apgujeong before? Have you ever seen Han Dae-geun?”
Moo Kyul immediately remembered sparring with Seok Doo Choi.
Come to think of it, only Seokjin was in charge of the sparring at that time, but Han Daegeun was nowhere to be seen.
“no. I didn’t see it.”
“therefore. Well, you said you trained separately to prepare for the game, but you didn’t have to. Jo Jun-seok does not belong to Apgujeong, and even if he belonged to Apgujeong, if he wanted to move, Jo Jun-seok would have moved.”
“So why didn’t you come to the gym?”
“That’s it.”
Im Jin-soo bowed as if he were telling a secret.
“I think he injured his ribs on your spinning back kick during Real Fighter.”
“what?”
“I had incontinence in my ribs, but I found it later!”
“Because of my kick?”
“okay. Han Dae-geun has not had a match recently and is famous for being very light in sparring, so where could he have injured his ribs?”
For a moment, Mugyeol remembered the exhibition match against Han Dae-geun.
Spinning back kick with the third effective hit.
There was a heavy hitting feeling on the heel side, but I thought that kick would have caused a rib injury.
I was able to feel the power of the SSS-class body potential once again.
However, even with a rib injury, Han Dae-geun, who climbed the Octagon, was also not normal.
“But you didn’t postpone the game and received a defensive battle?”
“huh. Is it like the pride of a champion?”
“Or maybe he thought that the aiming stone could easily be crushed at any time.”
Sometimes-.
As soon as the first round started, Han Dae-geun cautiously approached his opponent one step at a time.
Cho Joon-seok, who has recently recorded 5 consecutive wins and 3 KOs, has recently been the most energetic player in the middleweight division.
“Huh-.”
Puck puck-.
Cho Joon-seok worked hard to create a combination, but Han Dae-geun moved forward honestly, chewing on the blow like a bulldozer.
After reaching the distance of wrestling, he grabbed his neck and hit his abdomen with knee kicks.
“Keugh-!”
Jo Jun-seok’s facial expression distorted and the moment his motion hardened, he linked a guided takedown from the neck clinch.
wow wow-.
The audience cheered and Lim Jin-soo burst into a sigh.
“Ah, it’s over.”
“I know.”
“Han Dae-geun puts an end to high-ranking pressure. Once on board, the opponent should be considered almost dead.”
“So my older brother did that three times…”
“Son, don’t touch me where it hurts.”
As Lim Jin-soo said, Han Dae-geun easily ‘grinded’ his opponent.
Punches and elbow pounding incessantly from the top position.
A positioning that responds promptly whenever Jo Jun-seok attempts a sweep and never allows a reversal.
The match ended smoothly with a KO by elbow pounding at 3:08 in the first round.
[The game is over!! Middleweight Prince Han Dae-geun has already finished his seventh defense with victory!!]
[Is there really no middleweight player who can catch Han Dae-geun!? He looked so lethargic in front of Jo Jun-seok, the champion with 5 consecutive victories!!]
After the game, Han Dae-geun, who grabbed the microphone, started the interview without gasping for breath.
“Jo Jun-seok has a strong punch and has a good sense of distance. I trained a lot to break that distance. He was a player who was gaining momentum with five consecutive victories, so I thought we should never be vigilant.”
Saying that, Han Dae-geun glanced over the crowd.
“Jo Jun-seok was able to stand on this stage through five consecutive victories. But lately, there have been some players who demanded an undeserved match with things like public opinion impact and commerciality on their backs.”
It was very obvious who Han Dae-geun’s remarks were aimed at.
Im Jin-soo was more excited at his remarks than Mu-gyeol.
“That bastard is sniping at you, right!?”
“I guess so.”
“Huh, I seem to have forgotten all about the past. While winning the title fight after 3 matches!”
Han Dae-geun was still not putting the microphone down.
“A title match should be a festival for those who qualify. It’s not a stage that dogs or cows can come up on.”
The audience cheered at the champion’s strong remarks, which were rarely seen.
“We will keep an eye on his progress. I might slip before I get up here.”
“Handaae is hot!”
“That’s right, Sheki! You have to come to that level to become a champion!”
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, Moo-kyul and Han Dae-geun quietly glared at each other.
“But if he becomes a player worthy of a title match, I will tear him to pieces without hesitation.”
* * *
The point at which No Results and Han Dae-geun sounded the news of victory side by side at two-week intervals.
Jang Young-gil, the head of RCF, was in trouble.
What kind of fight should be made as the next middleweight main event?
After the match, Moo-gyu Cha and Dae-geun Han each provoked each other and created emotional lines.
The story between the two is overflowing.
During the filming of < Real Fighter >, Mugyul all-killed 5 members of ‘Team Han Dae-geun’.
That was not enough, and at the end, he summoned Han Dae-geun, the head of the team, to the Octagon to hit a nice back kick.
No wonder people want to see this game.
According to RCF’s theory of ‘creating a match everyone wants to see’, the next match should be Han Dae-geun vs. Cha Mu-gyeol.
However, Jang Young-gil had no intention of attaching the two players.
Of course, the odds of Cha Mu-gyeol winning in a match between the two players are slim.
However, Noble’s growth was clearly extraordinary, and its potential was such that even WFC’s Dave White noticed.
‘If he beats Dae-geun, the whole group will end up being dragged by him
. ‘
“Hmm-.”
Jang Young-gil fell silent and touched Cha Moo-gyeol’s profile.
Integrity is arguably the most ticketed supernova in the current RCF heavyweight division.
Ironically, however, Jang Young-gil had to seek his defeat.
Of course, I had to break his momentum, but in fact, the biggest reason is the strange contract method that Mu-gyeol Cha and RCF signed.
When negotiating the contract at the Gugi-dong mansion, Mugyeol only asked for two conditions.
‘We will play only seven matches in RCF’
‘Guaranteed a 7:3 PPV bonus’
The ‘Super Eul’ contract has nothing good for the organization.
However, the reason Jang Young-gil signed such an absurd contract is, first of all, the tremendous commercial potential of Mugyeol.
Secondly, it was because of the poison clause he added directly to the contract.
“If I lose, I won’t get a single penny of the PPV bonus in that match.”
“!”
“And another one. If I only lose one game in seven games, it doesn’t matter if the number of contract games increases as the president wants. It doesn’t matter if you adjust the PPV bonus percentage.”
Hearing the conditions, Jang Young-gil had no choice but to burst out laughing.
I thought he was a guy with a lot of brains to sit at the negotiating table with confidence.
However, when I opened the lid, I realized that I was just a newbie who thought I was the strongest in the world.
7 victories, while provoking all the RCF players?
It was virtually impossible.
“good night. Instead, it is impossible to change the conditions after signing.”
“yes. Chairman, please don’t say anything else.”
Thus, the most bizarre contract in RCF history was born.
The most perfect picture for Jang Young-gil is for Cha Moo-gyeol to go 5-2 or 4-3 in 7 matches.
It is best to maintain moderate commerciality and at the same time break that stiff head in a painful defeat.
Also, the moment Mugyeol Cha scores even one loss, Yeonggil Jang can make him a slave to RCF forever.
‘Which one should I use to catch this bastard?’
A player who can defeat Moo Gyeol without using the Han Dae Geun card.
A player who has enough skills to beat anyone but is not at risk of defeat.
Jang Young-gil, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally came up with a name.
“okay. That guy was there.”
* * *
A week has passed since Han Dae-geun’s 7th defense.
Han Dae-geun, who belatedly announced that he had a rib injury after the game, received a six-month medical suspension using him as an excuse.
Naturally, all game schedules within half a year were cancelled.
Upon hearing the news, Im Jin-soo burst into anger.
“Hey, these guys couldn’t have thought like this from the beginning…”
“I don’t know that.”
“Ah, they are really snake-like bastards!”
With the news of Han Dae-geun’s medical suspension, RCF presented Mugyeol with a new matchup card.
In order to go directly to the title match, you have to wait for a total of 8 months, including Han Dae-geun’s 6 months of medical suspension and the camp period to prepare for the match.
Rather than waiting for such a long time without a promise, he suggested that it be better to play one more match in the middleweight division and make a record.
“If it’s a title challenge after two consecutive wins, it’s the same number as Han Dae-geun. I think I have a cause.”
“It doesn’t.”
“Or you could train hard for eight months to further refine your technique.”
“I’m thinking about that too.”
“So who is your opponent?”
“I haven’t seen it either.”
Saying that, Mugyeol opened the document file sent by RCF. As a result of confirming the surname
‘Ibrahim Mahmudov’ and
‘Mahmudov’, Im Jin-soo’s pupils dilated at the same time.
“Hey, you bastard, this ca
n’t be…” Im Jin-soo rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and Mu-gyeol burst out laughing.
Mahmudov To see this castle here.
“Fuck RCF bastards are so different…!”
Before he knew it, Im Jin-soo was trembling with anger.
There was a reason for their anger.
It was Aslan Mahmudov, a fighter from the Chechen Republic, who paralyzed the dead Cha Mu-gyeol.
Ibrahim Mahmudov was the cornerman in Aslan’s corner at the time.
Because he was Aslan Mahmudov’s younger brother.
Mugyeol crumpled Ibrahim’s profile and spoke quietly.
“Hyung, I want to take this game.”
