On Saturday, a dragon was KO by Siti, which once again attracted the attention of the world's fighting circles. Although Yilong himself has too much controversy, he is indeed worthy of the most attentioned boxer in China. Moreover, what many domestic boxing fans can't imagine is that the video of Yilong's competition has a very high number of hits on Youtobe, and many foreign boxing fans know this mysterious Chinese player. In fact, there are more than one dragon, although China's super heavyweight MMA player "Kung Fu Panda" Ao Ri Gele also has a good reputation in China, but compared with his popularity in Japan and South Korea, it is simply a small witch.
Ao Rigle's battle for fame was undoubtedly the Chinese debut of Luther FC. At that time, Ao Rigle and his opponents broke out before the match, and the exposure of the opponent's former community identity made this match more interesting. As a result, under the live broadcast of CCTV5, hundreds of millions of Chinese viewers have seen Ao Ri Gele KO opponents in the opening tens of seconds, so that many people remember this thick and fierce kung fu panda.
Although Ao Ri Gele has become the brightest star in the super heavyweight in China, his popularity in Japan and South Korea is actually much higher than that in China. Not long ago, during Luther's match in South Korea, Ao Rigle only watched the game as a guest in the front row. However, enthusiastic Korean boxing fans snubbed the players on the field, but kept shouting the name of Ao Ri Gele, and after the game, Ao Ri Ge Le was also chased by many fans to sign. Even walking on the streets of Korea and restaurants has been asked to take a group photo.
Moreover, Ao Ri Gele also starred in the fighting reality show "Fearless Guys", which began to be released on November 11, which will be broadcast on MBC Sports in South Korea, equivalent to China's cctv5, which also shows his popularity. In addition, there are also a large number of fans of Ao Ri Gele in the fighting powerhouse, and such treatment and achievements are almost unimaginable in China.
In fact, this also reflects the differences between China and Japan and South Korea in the treatment of fighting sports.
In Japan and South Korea, people can easily accept and appreciate martial arts sports such as MMA, and generally think that this is a perfectly normal competitive sport. Not only that, but there are also a large number of women among the boxing fans. Perhaps because of this, the strong performance of the game coupled with its cute image made Ao Ri Gele, who had only played 5 games in Luther, instantly popular in South Korea.
This is also due to the fact that the event will promote fighting as a fashionable sport. This can be easily seen from the on-site presentation of Luther FC, the match arrangement, etc. To get more attention from young people, the boxer only needs to have a good performance on the field, and it is not difficult to become a sports star.
Not long ago, China's famous "fighting orphans" incident can be seen that at present, in China, especially the open fighting project of MMA, it is still labeled as bloody and violent in the eyes of ordinary people. Since China's martial arts market is still in a not very advanced stage, high-level fighters, professional event promotion, positive media attention, etc., China still has a lot to learn from compared to Japan and South Korea.
At the same time, the attention of the fighting industry is too low, making it difficult for the vast number of young people in China to access this fashionable, stimulating, healthy and active competitive sport that should belong to them. The lack of audiences naturally affects the normal output of fighting stars and supporting professionals, and has not yet formed a virtuous circle.
On the other hand, the Japanese and Korean peoples have a strong martial spirit and worship the strong since ancient times, so they are more respectful of martial arts sports. Ao Rigel can become popular in Japan and South Korea, and even has a large number of fans in the United States, on the one hand, because of the huge audience base of Luther FC in the world, especially in Asia, on the other hand, because of the Japanese and Korean people's admiration for the martial arts movement and the national characteristics of the strong in their bones. On the other hand, After several dynasties, China has suppressed martial arts and revered literature, and the national style of martial arts has become weaker and weaker, which has also led to the fact that ordinary Chinese people have a fierce confrontational movement such as martial arts and fighting for a while.
To reawaken the martial spirit of the Chinese people, martial arts sports are a good entry point. Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the "father of the nation", once proposed to "strengthen the country and strengthen the species" through martial arts, and vigorously advocated the "spirit of martial arts", hoping to reshape the national character and enhance national cohesion through the practice of martial arts.
It is gratifying that in recent years, the Chinese martial arts market has begun to gradually heat up, as more fighting events are gradually carried out in China, more professionals such as "Kung Fu Panda" Ao Ri Gele will continue to emerge, followed by the continuous growth of the number of boxing fans, which also makes us see more hope.
By the way, Ao Ri Gele will also play in the upcoming Lutheran FC competition in Shijiazhuang on November 11, and fans who like his boxing can pay attention.
