Fierce male god

Chapter 223 Change of Public Opinion
Not every player has the courage to enter the UFC. For most people, there is nothing wrong with making the choice that maximizes the benefits.

After all, life is alive, who doesn't want to be less stressed and live more comfortably?
This is the case of the Chinese player who just won the ONE championship.

Regarding his choice, Xiao Yong did not have any opinion, instead he sent his blessings on his personal social media.

For Xiao Yong, he is very happy to see the fighters in his boxing gym going to success one by one.

Because the success of these people will set a good example for domestic fighting fans.

In this world, although there are people who want to hit the highest peak, it also needs a lot of backbone.

As long as you can make more progress than in the past, that's enough.

Shanhe Boxing Gym was also on the hot search again because of this incident.

For the next period of time, Xiao Yong will train every day and be with his family.

Rarely appears in public.

When he appeared in public again, it was already the eve of the match against Usman.

The venue for the match between Xiao Yong and Usman was set in the capital of China.

So the press conference was also held in Huaxia!
At the press conference, Xiao Yong and Usman attended together.

When Xiao Yong appeared in front of everyone again, everyone noticed that Xiao Yong became stronger.

Now Xiao Yong's weight has reached 87 kg!

That is 174 catties, and his body is basically all muscles.

Wearing short sleeves, Xiao Yong's arms are exposed, and his muscle circumference is obviously larger than before.

Xiao Yong has completed his weight gain!
However, he still maintains a weight difference of ten kilograms, which will be lost through dehydration before the competition.

With his strong muscles and Xiao Yong's ferocious face, the current Xiao Yong is even more oppressive!

At the press conference, Dana Bai also came in person.

Hundreds of reporters and media came to the scene!

Most of them are from domestic media, Xiao Yong's popularity in China is still frighteningly high!
Xiao Yong is the first Chinese who can win the championship and show dominance in a sport with great international influence!
And Xiao Yong has been ranked No. 1 by Forbes athletes for many years in a row!
This also makes the domestic audience feel proud!
Of course, this is mainly because Xiao Yong has the lifelong sponsorship of Shanhe Wine and Anta.

The income from these two industries is beyond the reach of other athletes!

By sponsoring Xiao Yong, Anta surpassed Nike and became the leader with the highest sales of domestic sports brands!
And Xiao Yong also got a lot of money from drinks and lifetime sponsorship!

Even in the year when he competed with Mayweather, he still overwhelmed Mayweather and became the number one athlete income list!
Especially with the internal fighting of the Becle Group, the external competitiveness will inevitably be affected.

Xiao Yong's tequila drinks also took advantage of the momentum to capture a lot of market share.

Of course, it is unrealistic to say that Golden Happy Tequila will be completely squeezed out of the beautiful country market.

But in China, these wines produced by Shanhe Liquor have begun to gradually occupy the domestic market of similar wines!
This also led to Xiao Yong's annual income not being very low.

This is the biggest difference between Xiao Yong and other athletes.

But having said that, the current Xiao Yong, even if he only talks about boxing income, is definitely No.1 in the world!
Because his PPV income is really impressive.

In the last game against Oliveira, Xiao Yong earned 20 million US dollars in one game!

Domestic dividends, PPV dividends, plus a guaranteed appearance fee of [-] US dollars, that is to say, Xiao Yong is already comparable to the most expensive Mbappe in football today.

Therefore, in this game, Usman's worth also skyrocketed!

His basic appearance fee has skyrocketed to 2 million US dollars!
Although it is only one-tenth of Xiao Yong's, it is much more than the previous guaranteed appearance fee of 600,000 US dollars!

And once Xiao Yong is said to have won, his value will inevitably skyrocket!
This is why many athletes hope to fight Xiao Yong!

At the press conference, Usman and Xiao Yong sat down at the same time.

Dana Bai said with a smile on his face: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Our two champions will fight each other! This is the match that everyone is looking forward to. If Xiao Yong wins, he will become the eighth double-double in UFC." The champion will also be the second guy to have two championship belts at the same time, now you can ask questions!"

Dana Bai is right, if Xiao Yong wins, he will become the eighth UFC champion who can win two levels!

He is also the second UFC player to win two titles at the same time.

Because so far, Xiao Yong's lightweight championship has not been deprived.

In other words, Dana Bai did it on purpose.

After Xiao Yong defeated Oliveira, no one in the entire lightweight class is qualified to challenge Xiao Yong for the time being.

Although Makhachev also won consecutive victories all the way, this guy really didn't want to beat Xiao Yong.

Because Khabib can't even beat Xiao Yong, let alone him.

Compared with defeating Xiao Yong, he hopes to maintain a winning streak and win the lightweight championship!
So he has already set his target on Oliveira.

At the interview site, Dana Bai said that the reporters could interview, and immediately a reporter picked up the microphone and asked Usman, "Usman, do you think Xiao Yong can break your winning streak?"

After entering the UFC, Usman has not lost a single match in the seven years, and has won [-] consecutive victories!

It can be said that it is full of dominance!

Usman shook his head and said: "Of course not. The winner of this match will only be me. Xiao Yong's dominance can only continue in the light weight class, but it's a different world in the middle class!"

Immediately another reporter asked: "This competition, held in China, will it affect you?"

Usman shook his head and said: "Of course not. I'm not the kind of person who can't afford to lose. It's ridiculous to complain about the boos after losing the game."

Hearing this, Xiao Yong frowned immediately.

Usman's words had hidden meaning.

Because there were Huaxia players before, after losing the game, they complained that there were too many boos at the scene, which led to distraction.

This matter caused quite a heated discussion.

And many foreign players also ridiculed this.

In fact, speaking logically, Xiao Yong does not agree with this reason. If he lost the game, he would never attribute the responsibility to the boos at the scene.

At this time, a reporter looked at Xiao Yong and said, "Xiao, the reason why you chose Huaxia as the competition venue is because you want to use the home audience to influence your opponent?"

Xiao Yong shook his head and said: "First of all, the venue of this match is determined by the UFC official, not my request. Secondly, no matter in any venue, the influence that the audience can have on the players is very limited! If Usman If you think it is unacceptable to play in China, then you can change the venue to play! It's the same anywhere!"

Xiao Yong has played at the opponent's home court many times, and has been booed many times, but he never uses this as an excuse.

Speaking of this, Xiao Yong smiled slightly and said: "But having said that, if I play in China, my state will indeed be better! But I can't just play away games forever, I always have to play in my own country, right? ?”

Xiao Yong likes the atmosphere of playing in China very much.

Because the fanatical support from the audience really made Xiao Yong extremely excited.

Overall, in this game, the pre-match press conferences of the two sides did not have much gunpowder.

Usman himself is not the kind of player with a flamboyant personality.

As for Xiao Yong, he also recognizes Usman's strength, and he is not sure that he can beat Usman 100%!
This guy is 100% drop proof after all!
The technical level and finish are very high.

Xiao Yong didn't say anything like killing his opponent in one round.

And the match between the two actually doesn't need too much gunpowder!
Just the record of the two is enough to attract attention!

Xiao Yong maintains a record of all victories and all finishes at the historical level. As for Usman, he has won [-] consecutive victories in seven years, which is a proper secondary overlord level.

Both of them are champions, and now that Xiao Yongsheng has made his comeback, the outcome between the two is the biggest thing to watch!

Originally, most people were still optimistic about Usman, but after Xiao Yong defeated Covington offline, this view has shifted again!

Now everyone is curious, Xiao Yong and Usman, who is stronger and weaker!

No text is the first, no martial arts is the second!
The battle between the two masters has already attracted the attention of the whole world!

Since Xiao Yong joined UFC and defeated Mayweather, he has made great contributions to the global promotion of UFC.

UFC is even more influential than before!

And now, all boxing fans who follow UFC want to know where Xiao Yong's limit is!

This game is held in the Bird's Nest!

Because the game is not held in a place like Abu Dhabi, the ticket price is much lower.

But even so, the cheapest one costs 1000 yuan, while the most expensive ticket costs [-] yuan!
Compared with Abu Dhabi or the beautiful country, this fare is very conscientious.

But it still made UFC on the hot search again.

Many people scold Bai Da for taking money.

Because before, UFC had the most expensive ticket price in China, which was [-] tickets!
This time it has more than five times more.

"Dana Bai, this shitty day, is really crazy about money!"

"The Bird's Nest has a total of 50 seats, with an average ticket price of [-], [-] million RMB per game?"

"This is too good to earn!"

"too expensive!"

As a result, many people went to the UFC official website to curse and face the doubts of these netizens.

Dana Bai also gave an explanation: "Currently Xiao Yong's games are held in any country, and the ticket price will not be lower than this. In fact, this is already the lowest ticket price in Xiao Yong's recent games. !"

Although Bai Dana's explanation is not accepted, the public is actually just looking for a place to vent. They also know that the ticket price of Xiao Yong's current competition abroad is even more terrifying!
At this time, many people also came up with the same thoughts as Xiao Yong did back then, how great it would be if there were such top-level competitions in their own country!

As a result, many netizens went to Yang Lele's social media to leave messages!

"When will the Tenglong Final be made into an event like UFC!"

"It's true, all the money has been made by foreigners, let's compete in domestic competitions!"

"I shouldn't have criticized you for spending money recklessly before. Let's get some experts, and we'll hold an awesome event and make a lot of money!"

Yang Lele has already laid a very deep personal label in the Tenglong Jue.

Beauty boxing president!

There are also tens of millions of personal fans.

Faced with the change of attitude of these people, Yang Lele was quite helpless.

What an idea every day.

But to be honest, Yang Lele has really taken over several UFC fighters during this time.

Some were abandoned by the UFC, and some were players who contacted Yang Lele and asked about the appearance fee, and then came when they thought it was suitable.

Although they are not well-known, their standard is definitely online, and their appearance fee is much cheaper than Kevin Lee.

As for Kevin Lee, after coming to Tenglong Jue, he is also invincible.

With a strong body, strong resistance to blows, and good hold and fall suppression, these domestic players who are partial to standing are miserable, so they can only continuously strengthen their own fall prevention techniques.

There is no way, if they want to make more money, there are very few roads ahead of them, either to move to a higher level of competition, or to beat Kevin Lee hard.

This is the benefit of attracting high-level boxers.

It can diversify the game style.

Originally, most of these people were fighting stand-up players, but Kevin Li was also a top-notch wrestling player!

After joining, domestic boxers showed great discomfort!

But if they want to make more money, they have to make progress!
Xiao Yong didn't intend to let them make money comfortably, and they needed to work hard even if they were given a chance.

This meal is eaten by the strong!
As the date of the competition is approaching, major domestic media basically report on the competition every day.

At the same time, on the major short video platforms, all Xiao Yong's collections have been played very impressively.

The same is true on the Internet!
Huaxia Yama fights against the Nigerian nightmare!

It can be said that in terms of competitive level, this game is definitely the pinnacle battle between the two levels!

Lightweight and welterweight are the two most competitive divisions recognized by the UFC.

Both Xiao Yong and Usman are the strongest in their respective levels, and as far as the current situation is concerned, both of them are masters with full dominance.

Everyone is very curious, which of these two is stronger and weaker!

Just like when Khabib stood on the lightweight throne, countless people questioned that Khabib didn't dare to go up!

But now, Xiao Yong, who defeated Khabib, has gained weight!
He's up for the challenge!

As for the battle between the two, many players have also given their predictions!

Basically, the two have their own supporters, which is a [-]-[-] split. The same is true in terms of peripheral betting. The odds of the two are almost the same. It can be seen that no one can predict the outcome of the game between the two. .

Meanwhile, Tony Ferguson is negotiating a contract with Yang Lele!

At this time, Tony was not in a good situation. After losing to Xiao Yong, he lost consecutive battles and had no choice but to rise to the welterweight class. pen, but also lost the game!

This made him completely lose his ambition!
In the case of Lien Chan losing streak, he also had the idea of ​​earning more appearance fees.

So he contacted Yang Lele.

Hope to get a quotation contract.

Facing Tony Ferguson, Yang Lele still offered a contract of $200,000 for a single game.

In fact, Tony Ferguson won $500,000 in the match against Xiao Ma!
But that's because of the opponent, Manetz.

It is a popular master among the second!

In his previous games, the appearance fee has been reduced to 150,000 US dollars!

Continuing to fight in UFC, he won't have the chance to fight a star player like Xiao Ma every time!
It is also impossible for Yang Lele to provide him with bonuses according to this game.But $200,000 is still a lot of money.

And Yang Lele is willing to offer a five-match contract!
For Tony Ferguson, who is currently at the end of his career, if he can get a contract for five games, and the guaranteed appearance fee is still considerable, Tony Ferguson will be moved!

Therefore, it was basically useless for Xiao Yong to come out, so Yang Lele negotiated a contract with Tony Ferguson and let him officially join Tenglongjue!

The only problem is that, in this case, the payout of the dragon will increase further.

But Xiao Yong doesn't care, it's still the same sentence, sometimes, there must be rewards if you pay.

During this period of time, he can also see the changes in the Dragon finalists!

With the entry of stronger opponents, these domestic players are bound to strengthen their own skills.

And Xiao Yong has long planned to invest money to improve the overall competitiveness and influence of the event, this investment is nothing to him at all.

But this time, when Yang Lele announced that Tony Ferguson had signed with the Tenglong Jue, the mainland of China was full of applause!
Dana Bai himself didn't care much about this. He also offered Tony Ferguson a short contract, but the other party didn't accept it.

But at this time Tony Ferguson was already on the decline.

In Dana Bai's eyes, it doesn't matter if this kind of player jumps to other competitions.

But for China's local competition, this is the first time that a UFC champion has been attracted. Although Tony Ferguson has only won the interim championship gold belt once, it is still a champion.

At present, domestic fighting competitions and large-scale competitions are basically only decided by Tenglong!

Most of the rest of the competition has been suspended.

Whether it's boxing or kickboxing, in China, all competitions are basically impossible to hold.

Boxers have devoted themselves to short videos and live broadcasts, relying on their previous fame to make money to support their lives.

If Xiao Yong hadn't founded this competition, it is estimated that the domestic fighting industry would have been completely abolished.

Too much black material!
At the beginning, the audience was played like fools, but after the incident happened, it hurt the enthusiasm of all fighting fans.

In fact, it is precisely because these events have basically been suspended that the development of the Tenglong Tournament has been relatively smooth.

After all, with the help of Xiao Yong, although there is no publicity, as long as he goes to watch a few games, the heat of the competition will immediately rise.

After Tamron decided to sign Tony Ferguson this time, no one complained about spending too much, whether it was the audience or the media.

In the final analysis, the audience is more willing to see the development of the local competition industry.
