Censored MMA fighter Xu Xiaodong claims he’s leaving China

Beijing-based MMA trainer Xu Xiaodong recently appeared in a circus-fight with traditional martial artist Lu Gang. In that contest, Xu easily beat-up the older and much smaller Lu; who practices wing chun and supposedly knows the art of dim mak (or touch of death).

Lu would later claim (via South China Morning Post) that the only reason Xu beat him in seconds — and broke his nose — was because he was too skinny, due to a vegetarian diet.

The fight itself against Lu wasn’t especially notable. It looked the same as all of Xu’s other fights with tai chi and wing chun stylists.
