    Where are all the Chinese MMA fighters? (article)

    My buddy sent me this article and I thought some here could appreciate.

    Article brings up some pretty well known facts about Chinese culture and why MMA has not yet flourished there, and some that I hadn't heard before. It is somewhat respectful, but also "keeps it real"

    Warning: The article is pretty long.

    Where are the Chinese fighters?

    Fighting in shows like Art Of War in china. But I think India and China are the newest markets. Population wise you cant go wrong. I knew a guy that fought on an Art of war.They said 6 million people watched on a cable.

    True though. The western market is yet to tap into China, so we're not exposed to their talent.

    lol @ In China


    I think all Chinese mma shows are owned by their government or they only allow 1 or 2 organizations or something. I could be wrong, but I think I recently heard or read that somewhere
