Known for his incredible hand speed, dynamic footwork and fiery coordination, Hu plans to rely on his striking ability against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt McLaren.

“I do not prepare specific weapons. All I have to do is strike and find opportunities to knock him down. I don’t want to fight boring, so I like to fight early and directly. I like to fight like a warrior.” Dr. Hu.

Huyong is not worried about Reece McLaren’s striking prowess

Hu Yong is already aware that Reece McLaren will not be a pushover. The Australian fan favorite is very dangerous on the ground. The veteran has collected six submissions in 15 fights against top contenders and rising stars. Still, the “Wolf Warrior” expects McLaren to bring the fight to the canvas, where he has prepared something for his rival.

“He is a mighty elephant. I’ve prepared for a lot to avoid getting it on the ground. I’m sure it won’t be that easy for him to take me down, and even if he does, he’ll have a hard time controlling me on the ground, and I definitely want to be in a stand-up fight.” Dr. Hu.

Recently, McLaren honed his striking sk**ls with legendary Muay Thai icon John Wayne Parr – where he has shown great improvement in his recent appearances. However, Hu still has a lot of faith in his own sk**ls and physicality.

“He has certainly improved in striking, but the improvement is not enough to make him a top striker. His knockout power in striking is weak, and he is weak in physical strength and fitness. My advantage is heavy punching and great physical strength and fitness” she said.

Although the Chinese striking ace dismissed his opponent’s overall athleticism, it will be interesting to see how this match plays out on May 3 with divisional rankings at stake.
