On the first day of the competition, everyone's attention was on the lightweight category, where Wu Li took just one minute to TKO his opponent, a technical knockout indicating the opponent was still conscious but the referee determined he could not continue the fight. Moreover, his opponent was a former MMA champion. This event made it onto the hot search list and also sparked heated discussions online.
Many netizens believed that Wu Li had proved through his actions that Traditional Martial Arts could be effective in the ring, while others felt that Wu Li had only beaten a retired athlete who hadn't competed in three years; even if he had been a champion, how much of his strength remained?
