The Bullied One Is Too Good at Fighting - Chapter 121
Bullying is too good at martial arts (121)
by Gilbert Johnson.
He currently holds the record for most wins in the middleweight division of the WFC and is a former champion who has defended the middleweight belt four times.
At the age of 38, he doesn’t have as much physical ability as before, but his experience and experience were his weapons.
Although it was sparring, Gilbert Johnson’s attitude was quite serious.
The outfighter stance, with the right hand close to the ear and the left hand extended and spaced, was quite tricky.
‘That front hand is getting in the way
. ‘
Of course, it is a distance where Roy Jones Jr.’s special move, a dash, and then a left-handed check hook can be used.
However, because he was firmly defending the side of the head with his right hand, the check hook is also likely to be covered.
Hmm, how do I break this posture?
Shall we kick the front leg first?
While Mugyeol was contemplating, Gilbert Johnson moved first.
Whiik-.
A jab thrown lightly as if flicking the outstretched front hand.
Mugyeol lightly moved his head to avoid it, but then another strange attack came in.
“!?”
Pereouk-.
A second attack that pushes the already outstretched fist to the side and strikes the side of the head.
In an unusual attack, Mugyeol allowed a punch.
It wasn’t a big damage at all, but it was enough to break the rhythm of the flawless.
“Damn that man, where did he attack like that!”
“Escape with zero margin!”
Mugyeol lightly nodded at cornerman Khaled’s cry.
It’s a rare but effective attack.
Especially for Mugyeol who avoids all fists with a piece of paper and puts a counter.
After dodging, the distance between the fist and the head is not long, so the probability of getting hit by such a strange irregular blow is higher.
As Khalid said, keeping a little more distance and avoiding it can be one answer.
If the distance between your fist and your head is far, you won’t be hit by such an irregular fist.
However, it is an answer that does not fit the nature of innocence.
Isn’t it enough to bomb the face with a counter before that weird second attack comes out.
Shuuk-!
Gilbert Johnson once again threw a jab with his front hand to check the integrity.
Instead of allowing a margin of distance, Mugyeol pierced himself more sharply.
Hit the counter before even breaking the trajectory of the fist.
Mugyeol had enough hand speed to do that.
Dig-.
After dodging Gilbert Johnson’s jab by a piece of paper.
“!?”
The lightspeed straight hit Gilbert Johnson right in the lower jaw before the irregular blow could even land.
oh oh oh oh–!!
“Wow-.”
The damaged Gilbert Johnson took two or three steps back and turned his back on the cage.
When that annoying stance was finally broken, Mugyeol strode toward Gilbert.
“Ah, that goal-striking bastard!”
Seeing Mugyeol not listening to him, Khalid shook his head, but his mouth was smiling.
I couldn’t have imagined that he would react faster to that fist and hit the counter!
Now, Khalid became just a spectator and watched the Octagon with an expression full of anticipation.
How will Cha Mu-gyeol break Gilbert Johnson’s reputation?
‘Honestly, where would I intuit such a precious sparring!’
Parbat-.
Mugyeol quickly closed the distance and landed a low kick on Gilbert Johnson’s hamstring.
However, Gilbert Johnson succeeded in checking the kick by raising his shin at the right time.
‘It’s fast, but at this rate, it’s worth responding to!’
It was Gilbert Johnson, accustomed to Ryan Van Classen’s quality kicks.
It was not difficult for him to cut a flawless low kick.
But the bigger problem was the punch attack that came next.
A right-handed body shot that uses rotational power after a left low kick.
uh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Even with predictions, even with 12 oz gloves.
Its destructive power made the entire guarded arm tingle.
‘It’s amazing destructive power!’
Gilbert Johnson has faced all sorts of monsters in the WFC, but I’ve never seen a guy with such fiery firepower at middleweight.
What is even more surprising is that the rotational power of the punch did not drop at all after that.
When Gilbert Johnson’s foot stopped, Mugyeol poured out continuous hits without hesitation and attacked between the guards.
woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo–!!
He defended his face with the Crazy Monkey Guard, which is said to be the most effective at defending against punch rushes, but several sharp punches pierced through the guards.
“Keuuugh…!”
I could understand why the five players in front could not survive even the first round and were oxidized after being directly beaten.
No matter how much you don’t have the stamina to take a long fight, it doesn’t matter if you have this level of striking ability.
Baaaaaaaagh–!!
A shot from the left upper that penetrated between the guards lifted Gilbert’s head.
He gritted his teeth and endured, but the monkey guard had already collapsed and his feet were hardened.
Moogyeol showed off a flamboyant punch fake, shaking his upper body without mercy.
stomach? under? Which one?
The moment Gilbert raised his guard in response to a fake left hook.
uh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
“Huh-!”
A powerful light body shot hit deep.
‘I have a feeling!’
The feeling that I had entered properly was transmitted to my fist.
Even with a 12 oz glove, no one has ever survived this punch.
Gilbert Johnson also bent forward at the waist.
It was not unreasonable for Mugyeol to put his mind at ease at that moment.
However, Gilbert Johnson did not fall.
“It’s big…!”
He seemed to fall forward, but rather, with that power, he snatched his flawless front leg and started a ground battle.
“!?”
Clearly, the body shot hit Gilbert Johnson’s organs properly.
The profound distorted face is clear evidence of that.
But he was still holding on to his flawless front legs.
“Huh-!”
With a mysterious will, he pushed the center of gravity and even took away the takedown.
Kwadadang-!
The sticky ground battle continued for more than a minute after that.
In the end, Gilbert Johnson tapped the unbeaten RNC and the match ended, but it was a sparring that surprised everyone.
Until now, there had been no fighter who could withstand such a clean blow from Mugyeol.
All the ‘Stinger’ fighters who watched the sparring applauded the old man’s dignity and gave a buzz.
“I guess experience is the best asset.”
“Is there a technique that reduces damage the moment it hits?”
“Should I ask you the secret to abdominal pressure control?”
“Idiot, but EKA is our rival. Can you tell me that?”
However, I knew the innocence.
There was no technique to reduce damage.
“Are you curious about innocence?”
“yes?”
“How did this old woman last?”
Mugyeol nodded, and Gilbert Johnson took off his glove and sat down next to Mugyeol.
“It was definitely a sharp fist. Haha If it was 10 years ago, I would have hit the verbal tap as soon as I got hit.”
“…”
“Isn’t it strange? I’m sure I would have been physically healthier 10 years ago.”
Saying that, Gilbert Johnson patted the abdomen that had been hit by Mugyeol.
“I can’t help the blow that cuts my consciousness in one shot. The same goes for submissions that block oxygen in the brain. It’s not a matter of will. However, from some point on, the strength to endure and overcome pain has improved. I didn’t even do drugs.”
“…”
“Maybe since I won my first belt at middleweight.”
“is that so?”
“Actually, it is not very scientific. In a way, it is close to the theory of nature. A championship belt is not a game item, so it makes no sense to wear it to increase your level of strength.”
“That’s right.”
“But oddly enough, since winning that, I’ve really changed.”
“…”
“My goal was to become a champion that the kids wouldn’t be ashamed of. After winning the belt, my son’s view of me has changed. At some point, pride and pride settled in his eyes. I wanted to be a father who would not be ashamed of.”
“He was a good father.”
“Haha, at least I didn’t have the skills to withstand Adebayo’s high kick. How much my son cried that day… It was a pretty painful memory for me.”
“…”
“But after that, I was on the WFC stage. And whenever I introduced my name, the introduction comment was ‘Former WFC Champion’! Players who won the championship once are introduced that way until they retire. The belt was taken away, but in my son’s mind I’m forever the champion.”
Mugyul quietly nodded and listened to Gilbert’s words.
As Gilbert said, it is a teaching that may not pass by the theory of nature.
But Mugyeol never listened to his words.
“I don’t know until I wear the championship belt. How it will change your life and attitude. Since Adebayo has no children, his belt must have another meaning. But one thing is for sure, he is a champion too.”
“…”
“The realization that you are a champion makes the impossible possible. As if I survived your clean hit today.”
“…”
“I believe you will do well on your own, but you must never be careless. The moment you think the game is over, that moment may be your biggest crisis.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Thank you for paying attention to the old man’s ramblings.”
“No, thank you.”
After speaking, Gilbert Johnson got up from his seat and packed his things.
“See you next time. Our Ryan seems to have liked the ‘Stinger’ expedition.”
“yes. Go carefully.”
After Gilbert and his party left, Joel Khalid approached and asked Mugyeol a question.
“how is it? Was it helpful?”
“Yes, maybe.”
“okay? what was it about? The secret to abdominal pressure control? Adebayo’s attack pattern?”
“…it wasn’t like that.”
“So what? Only you know this, right?”
Mugyeol smiled and shook his head.
Gilbert Johnson’s story was not very technical.
However, it was perhaps the most helpful teaching for Mugyeol ahead of the title fight.
“…Anyway, I’m sure I learned a lot.”
“So what were you talking about? flawless! Is this really going on between us?”
* * *
Time flies and the new year of 2025 has dawned, and the WFC 400 is two months away.
At the same time as the New Year, the WFC 400 tour everyone was waiting for started.
As befits the best trash talker in the middleweight division, Mukyu and Adebayo heated up the fight before the fight.
“Cha Mu-gyeol is just a coward who loses weight like a madman to see the benefits of his physique. Didn’t all the journalists see that bastard’s body like a sorghum can at the weigh-in? If you don’t see the advantages of your physique, don’t you have the courage to stand on this stage?”
When Adebayo attacks, Mugyeol Cha responds by counterattacking it.
“The only reason I dropped to middleweight was to consolidate all three weight belts. The guy who has only been playing with the media while watching light heavyweight gains for two years is still alive and well. Besides, are you a coward? What are you who called Gilbert Johnson, avoiding such a coward? If you want to attack, attack me. Don’t hurt yourself with your snout.”
In LA, there was a conflict over the weight class.
“I think Li Haojun’s suspicions are quite credible. Cha Mu-gyeol’s muscularity is a bit abnormal. Do you think that a guy who lost weight like that could get that itchy? Reporters, what do you say? Do you all have doubts? random test? No matter how hard the test is, there are always people who suck secretly.”
Controversy erupted over drug use in London.
“Adeba, are you starting to hurt yourself again? We all remember the glamorous breasts you showed us four years ago. How did that happen? What the hell did you do to make your chest stick out like that? Where did you receive female hormone injections? Well, female hormones are not prohibited drugs. Adebayo, what the hell is going on? Have you been dreaming of becoming a striptease ever since?”
Of course, thanks to the “gynecomastia” scandal of four years ago, the drug debate ended in Adebayo’s favor.
As always, the tour schedule ran toward the end, with Mugyeol earnestly winning the over-the-counter match.
The venue for the tournament is the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, the mecca of martial arts.
The hectic tour schedule has come to an end and the WFC 400 is finally around the corner.
