On the evening of May 12, in the Hengqin International Tennis Center in Zhuhai, the history of Chinese MMA was being written. From the group brawl of the 16 heroic teams assembled at the beginning, to the Xinjiang Fighting and Xindu Wushu to enter the finals, the audience witnessed the joy of a successful counterattack, the confidence of steady and steady progress and the regret of having no choice but to go out. Neither victory nor defeat means the end of the legend, because the end is always the starting point of the next beginning. The triumphant Xinjiang fighting and the Xindu martial arts, which insisted on local MMA exploration, met in a narrow way, and "Shuangxin Duel" was also seen as a collision between the two development directions of Chinese MMA.

Wang Chunyang, President of Jingwumen, said, "The finals of the Jingwumen team will be held on June 10 at the Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center. ”
