It was probably inevitable that two of Chinese MMA fighter Xu Xiaodong’s vanquished “fake kung fu” opponents would eventually square off against each other. But that doesn’t make it any less entertaining.

In what turned out to be a fairly one-sided battle, Lei Lei and Tian Ye recently went at it to see who was the better kung fu fighter.
You may remember Lei Lei – he was the tai chi “master” who sparked “Mad Dog” Xu’s rise to fame after getting knocked out by him in 10 seconds.
The video of that 2017 fight went viral and set Xu on his mission to “expose” traditional martial arts “frauds”, sparking this entire mess of kung fu versus MMA.
Earlier this year, Xu got into the ring with another kung fu “master”, Tian Ye – whose name translates as “Mighty Sword” – and left him bloodied and bandaged with a severely broken nose.
