10 May - A Chinese businessman is offering a huge amount of money for any martial artists to defeat MMA fighter, Xu "The Madman" Xiaodong.

As reported on Taiwan News, Chen Sheng, the founder of Tiandi No. 1 Beverage Inc, offered to award RMB 10 million (approx USD 1.45 million) to any traditional fighter who can win against Xu, who previously knocked down Tai Chi master, Wei Lei in less than ten seconds.

Chen proposed for five matches with each victors winning the aforementioned amount and the loser returning home with USD 500,000.

When asked why he is making such a hefty offer, Chen shared that he has always been in awe of the Chinese martial arts, which is why he disapproves of Xu's arrogance in defeating Wei Lei.

He added that the title "madman" that was given to Xu is befitting, although more in a sense of his mental state.

"I know a lot of people are angry, but I would like to be able to ask a true master to show Xu the real power of Chinese martial arts," he said.

STORY: :: Eyewitness video shows protests outside Chongqing's Supreme Court :: Chongqing, China:: December 2, 2024:: Protesters were upset about a law allowing creditors to target former shareholders in companies :: Now Beijing says the law should not apply to those who sold out before it took effect in July A sweeping overhaul of China's company law took effect in July, allowing companies to hold original shareholders accountable for unpaid sums despite having already transferred their shares.But in a move that surprised legal experts, the Supreme People's Court went further by declaring old shareholders liable for unpaid sums after bankruptcy, even if they had already transferred their shares to new investors.That retroactive enforcement angered investors who worried about potential liabilities after they had cashed out.The protests, which experts said had threatened to turn into a broader social stability concern for Beijing, focused on who should be on the hook when private companies of the kind that once powered China's boom cannot pay their debts or go bust.
