I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 201 Breaking the Record!

This game, both in terms of scale and popularity, is more than one level higher than Li Ang's last debut.

Many top-ranked players came to the scene today.

Li Ang even saw a Chinese face, it was Li Jingliang.

He is definitely a leading figure in the field of mixed martial arts in China. Although his achievements in world competitions are not so outstanding among the great players, he is definitely an evergreen in the field of fighting and has also made great contributions to the promotion of this sport in China.

As if he noticed that Li Ang was looking at him, Li Jingliang waved at Li Ang excitedly.

For him, although Li Ang is not a Chinese player, he is also Chinese. Being able to defeat players of other skin colors in this competition can be regarded as bringing glory to the Chinese.

The better Li Ang performs, the more domestic fighting enthusiasts he will attract. He also hopes that in the future, there will be more and more yellow people on the field, and even the day when he sees a Chinese person reach the top and win the championship.

However, he was not optimistic about today's battle, or to say "not optimistic" was already an euphemism. In his opinion, Li Ang's jump was too big a step, and it seemed like he was being dragged over to win consecutive games.

However, as a fellow yellow person, he is also very clear that their group does not have much say at present. Since this is the case now, they can only rely on their own efforts and try to perform better.

Although Magomed Ankalaev's strength is a bit too strong for Li Ang at the moment, his popularity is also quite high. It is hard to say whether it is a profit or a loss to exchange a loss for more traffic.

In the rest area, Li Ang looked at his opponent with a smile on his face. He had fought hard to get this match.

Although he has told the president that he wants a very strong player, after all, UFC is not founded by him. Giving him a newcomer and a TOP3 player for no reason can be seen as him trying to take advantage of other people's popularity.

Apart from anything else, Magomed Ankalaev was actually not very willing to fight with Li Ang. There was nothing much to say if he won. Apart from increasing his own wins, it would hardly help his fame.

If he loses, that would be a big joke, and his popularity would explode, but that would definitely be negative.

Therefore, Li Ang directly stated that all his profits from this game would be transferred to his opponent, and if he lost this game, the two current contracts between him and President Bai would be extended for another year under the current conditions.

You know, with Le Ang's current development speed, his commercial value will definitely rise year by year. Being able to extend his contract without changing the conditions is definitely an advantage for them. It is also because of this that Dana White was able to convince those shareholders and other senior executives to arrange this match.

The reason why Li Ang spent so much money and signed a gambling agreement was for only one purpose, which was to spend money to buy time.

Considering that other players only play five games a year on average, even if he wins every game, he can only achieve ten consecutive wins in two years at most, which is not as good as his current opponent. His efficiency is too low.

The sooner you become famous, the sooner you can make money. In the long run, it will definitely be a win-win.

The contestants came on stage as the host announced.

Li Ang was the first to come out. Most of the audience gave him a polite cheer, but judging from everyone's expressions and actions, almost few of them were Li Ang's fans.

In the audience, the only person who cheered the loudest and stood up was a tall white man named Mike. He had practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Leon and was one of Leon's few acquaintances.

He only found out not long ago that Li Ang was actually a UFC professional player. This could explain why Li Ang was so young but had many years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He probably had been receiving special training since he was a child.

Mike was quite familiar with the audience members nearby, talking about his relationship with Leon.

"Hey, did you see that Asian player on the poster? He's my friend. We trained Jiu-Jitsu together a few days ago."

"Do you know Li Ang? We are good brothers. He is the most talented player I have ever seen. I often serve as his sparring partner."

Finally, someone was fed up with his nagging and said:
"You only pay attention to your friends. Have you ever looked at his opponents?"

"His opponents? I haven't paid attention to them. I don't think I need to remember their names. They are all losers anyway."

Mike does not watch UFC matches often, and his understanding of the players is limited to the most well-known star players.

As Li Ang's friend, of course the more he praises Li Ang, the more face he gains, so he doesn't care about these things.

The audience next to him shook their heads helplessly, obviously feeling that they didn't have much in common with this kind of person, so they shut their mouths and refused to say anything more.

Mike picked up his phone and quietly checked Magomed Ankalaev's record. After seeing that he had won 12 games in a row, was currently ranked third, and had even won several championships, he swallowed awkwardly and wondered whether he should change his seat to avoid being too embarrassed.

Then it was Magomed Ankalaev's turn to appear on the stage. Although both players were cheered by the audience, the cheers from them were completely on a different level.

One once missed the championship of this weight class due to the controversial decision of the referee, and the other was only fighting in his second time since entering the UFC. There is no comparison between them in terms of strength or honor.

However, the louder the opponent's cheers, the more excited Li Ang became, because it meant that his money was indeed well spent.

The match officially started, and Magomed Ankalaev looked at the newcomer in front of him, whose official age was just 18 years old, with great interest. He was indeed curious as to why he would rather give up the profits and want to have such a match with him. Was it for fame?

But since the other party has spent money, he plans to give him one minute to show his skills, and then after one minute, he will show all his strength and send him away.

"clang!"

The moment the bell rang, Li Ang moved. His purpose of this competition was not just to simply win a victory.

He raised his feet high, and his whole body rotated 360 degrees in the air, kicking towards his opponent's head.

"Walter, it's actually Brazilian war dance? Is he serious?"

"He doesn't think Magomed Ankalaev is some amateur, does he?"

When Li Ang made a move, almost all the audience members had this question in their hearts. This move is also called Capoeira's self-sacrifice kick. As the name suggests, although this move is extremely lethal and looks really cool, it will also expose your weaknesses to your opponent.

Therefore, it is very important to control the timing of using this move. If you are not careful, not only will you fail to attack your opponent, but you will be caught by the opportunity and be knocked out.

Therefore, it is usually only used against opponents who are weaker than you, or when the opponent is in poor condition.

Those spectators, after watching so many matches, this is the first time they see someone do a self-sacrificing kick at the very beginning. Is he trying to break the record for the fastest KO?

When Magomed Ankalaev saw Li Ang's actions, he subconsciously found it funny. Doesn't his opponent treat him as a human being?
Originally he wanted to let Li Ang win, but now, he just wanted to directly hit Li Ang's weakness to end the game. Maybe he could even break the record of the fastest KO in 3 seconds.

But this thought only lasted for a moment, and the next moment, Leon's legs were already in front of him.

The speed was so fast that he had no time to find Le Ang's weakness to attack. Even because he wanted to attack, it was too late for him to dodge. He could only turn his head and stretch out his arms to resist.

Unfortunately, the terrifying speed, coupled with the heavy weight, only brings about one result, which is to destroy it with ease.

Even though Magomed Ankalaev had tried to resist, his upper body was still hit as if by a huge hammer. He lost balance in an instant and fell to the ground.

The huge impact force made the floor make a "bang" sound. The next moment, when the referee arrived, Magomed Ankalaev had rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.

The entire process, even including the referee's judging, only took two seconds.

When the referee announced that Li Ang was the winner, more than 90% of the audience had not yet reacted.

【Break limit point】+2.0
Li Ang grinned. This time he came with the goal of breaking the record, so it was impossible for him to deliberately suppress his strength and speed to the same level as the opponent.

It's just a pity for my opponent. I hope my appearance fee and the money after winning will be enough to treat his injuries.

Similarly, as Mike took the lead in standing up and cheering, the audience in the venue finally cheered for today's winner Le Ang as if a switch had been pressed.

In the past, no matter how fast the KO was, the players would have to test each other for a while. No one was like Li Ang, who launched an attack as soon as the bell rang, as if he was aiming to KO his opponent as quickly as possible.

Because of Li Ang's horrific kick, the organizing committee of the event didn't pay much attention to the following matches. They all gathered in front of the high-speed camera and repeatedly watched the kick that Li Ang used to KO his opponent.

Louise, who is proficient in network operations, was flushed and breathing rapidly at this time. She realized that her boss's popularity should take off.

The more popularity his opponents had before, the more popularity Li Ang converted.

And if the boss really breaks the record, the traffic and popularity that will follow will be even more terrifying.

It can be said that any news about UFC star players has to give way to the news of his boss breaking the record. Even if it can't make him a top star overnight, at least there is nothing wrong with him becoming a second-tier player.

Before the end of tonight's game, the organizing committee had already concluded that Li Ang successfully broke the fastest KO record in UFC history with a time of 2.13 seconds.

In fact, they are also happy to see such players break records, because not only can the record-breaking players gain popularity, but UFC matches can also, and they are the most valuable external traffic.

Unlike the players who only need to compete for traffic among UFC's existing audience, that is, within the internal traffic pool, they, as officials, need to expand outward more and attract those who did not watch mixed martial arts before.

And in this area, nothing can attract more public attention than breaking records.

At this time, in a hotel conference room in New York, local martial arts schools all sent representatives to attend the regular meeting of the Martial Arts School Alliance.

Because Li Ang led the Chinese Wushu Association to win the first place in the last Wushu Exchange Conference, they have been the managers of the entire martial arts alliance for the past year.

At the meeting, representatives from the Chinese Wushu Association were reporting on their business development during this period. Naturally, their honorary chairman Li Ang was also present during the performance presentation.

"Recently, our association's honorary chairman, Li Ang, has officially signed a contract to become a UFC professional player. In his debut match, he defeated his rookie opponent with an outstanding performance."

But obviously, everyone was not very interested in this news, and some people even talked loudly "below the scenes", saying that becoming a UFC player was nothing. There were many people joining them every year, but in the end few of them could stay there for a long time.

Besides, Li Ang is just a nobody now. How many viewers know of his existence?

Although they essentially recognize the strength of UFC professional players, when the target is changed to Li Ang, they do not feel that Li Ang has been elevated to a higher level because of this identity. They only feel that Le Ang's joining has lowered the grade of UFC professional players.

Yi Kong, who was giving a speech on the stage, was angry but couldn't show it. Just as he was about to exit his PPT, a news push suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

The people in the audience looked over subconsciously, but before they had time to pay attention to the words on it, they saw the person in the pushed picture. It was Li Ang who was just mentioned in the PPT.

"Break the fastest knockout record? Defeat Magomed Ankalaev? Wardfa?"

The representatives of various martial arts schools attending the meeting were all reading the above content in a low voice.

Seeing the pop-up window that came at the right time, Yi Kong on the stage almost smiled so hard that his face was crooked, and he clicked on the push very smoothly.

No strength? Does knocking out Magomed Ankalaev, who is ranked third in the light heavyweight division, count?
No fame? Does breaking the fastest KO record count?
Once this news came out, the Chinese Wushu Association would have something to promote for at least the next ten years.

Those who had made the decision to appoint Li Ang as honorary chairman were extremely grateful for their choice.

With this relationship, they can openly hang Li Ang's photo on the wall of their own martial arts school and let Li Ang become the endorsement of their martial arts school.
