They don't come out as MMA level fighters because shaolin monks haven't been combat ready for centuries, they may not even come out as serious fighters. Not everyone who trains there becomes full fledge, shave your head, become vegan, monks. Tons of people go, train, experience the lifestyle and brotherhood and move on. That's how the temple makes money these days, training people and teaching the lifestyle more so than being an actual warrior training center like it was centuries ago.

    Although McLaren got the win, Xie Wei's future is still really bright. He's an accurate puncher with nasty wheelhouse, and front kicks. Not to mention his incredibly educated elbows. But his inexperience against good grapplers showed here. By this time next year he'll be able to beat McLaren. His defense against double and single leg takedowns as well as his patience in weathering choke attempts will be far better.

    Xie almost knocked Reece out and displayed some incredible striking power and skills, but made some critical errors on the ground, like turning into a back take, which was smartly set up by Reece, classic rookie mistake that can be ironed out with experience, Xie is definitely a prospect in the growing, will be expecting a much improved version of himself for his next fight.

    The rule about grabbing the gloves in mma is pretty annoying. I get that it would be cheap to just hold onto the glove to prevent a choke, but at the same time, being told you can't touch the glove makes it very difficult to defend chokes, because sometimes you need to peel the opponent's hand off of you to get control of the arm/wrist. It's not as if the gloves make it that much easier to pull their hand away, but they pretty much can't do it at all just because the rules effectively say they can't grab hands.

    Never lock ur or a legs with a person on ur back.. I understand that move .he was trying to do. He locked his legs to stand defend but was standing to long . U have actually"fall sit " and press him to cage with ur back .. defend the rest of it until ur comfortable in twisting around. When u locked a leg ur neck becomes exposed as u stand ... he took the side u locked . If u can grab both gloves and fall sit. The refhas to call it. Sneakily put ur head under his chin & Fall straight down. Grabbing is arms as well.. Ref has to call it.
    The judo twist not good to try. I do get it work.but.. Because the rules allow the foe to leg wrap you n strike n as well.. it best fall sit with ur head under his chin.. even if the foe move his head, u can twist and take top position or back to ur feet standing .or just stall which will create standing reset.
