Madison Square Garden is packed with seats at this time.
UFC competitions are actually getting better and better step by step.
Xiao Yong attaches great importance to this game. As long as he wins this game, he will officially enter the top level of lightweight.
The challenge for the championship has officially begun.
Dana White was on the sidelines, a little hurt but happy.
There is no doubt that Xiao Yong has become another extremely popular star in UFC.
But, now all the super popular fighters in the UFC are in the lightweight division.
This made him a little troubled.
Finally, Xiao Yong and Dustin Poirier appeared in the passionate introduction voice of the live host Buffer.
One is the top standing player in the lightweight category, and the other is Xiao Yong, who has never tasted defeat in his career.
Everyone is looking forward to the collision between the two!
The domestic audience remains at around 20 million.
The domestic commentator laughed: "As you can see, Xiao Yong has already appeared. If Xiao Yong wins this game, then he can officially enter the top five in the lightweight rankings and become the Chinese player in UFC so far.
The highest ranking!”
In the octagonal cage, Xiao Yong looked at Dustin Poirier in front of him.
His eyes were extremely fierce.
Even at the press conference, Xiao Yong did not say anything too aggressive, but once he entered the cage, Xiao Yong had only one goal, and that was to defeat his opponent!
As the referee announced the start of the game, both sides slowly approached the center of the cage!
Both sides are observing their opponent's movements!
Xiao Yong discovered that Dustin Poirier's backhand was obviously lower than in the previous game video.
Obviously, this guy made special adjustments in order to be able to adjust his movements in time to prevent Xiao Yong from falling!
"boom!"
Xiao Yong hit Dustin Poirier with a jab.
This also officially started the fierce battle between the two sides!
Dustin Poirier took a punch from Xiao Yong, retreated slightly, and did not rush to fight back.
Instead, he continued to approach Xiao Yong cautiously.
"Bang bang!"
The two punched at the same time and both hit their opponents!
Xiao Yong also made some judgments about the strength of his opponent. This guy's striking power is definitely not inferior to Michael Johnson, he is an absolute heavy gunner!
Suddenly, Xiao Yong dwarfed and dived directly to throw him!
But Dustin moved very quickly. He immediately withdrew his legs and suppressed Xiao Yong with his body. At the same time, his arm passed under Xiao Yong's neck and directly strangled Xiao Yong's neck. He was about to use a guillotine!
"Xiao Yong charged forward and threw him! Dustin Poirier reacted very quickly. Xiao Yong didn't catch his opponent and he was locked in the neck! Guillotine! Can Xiao Yong break free?" the commentator yelled excitedly.
In fact, if Xiao Yong does not appear, Dustin Poirier will face Khabib in future games.
will do something similar.
When challenging champion Khabib, he tried to perform a guillotine lock several times while being thrown.
It really paid off, especially in the last time, when he almost locked up Habib and was called the man closest to finishing Habib.
And now, facing Xiao Yong, who is excellent at wrestling, he chose the same tactic!
His two arms locked Xiao Yong's right arm and neck together!
This is not the most ideal position for the guillotine!
In fact, the most ideal position for the guillotine is to simply lock the neck!
In that case, by locking your arms and then pushing your body forward, you can quickly finish the opponent!
Basically no ability to resist!
But Xiao Yong will not give him such a chance, because charging forward, throwing him down, and being responded to with a guillotine by his opponent is a common tactic.
Not uncommon!
Therefore, a master like Xiao Yong will make sufficient preparations before wrestling!
To put it simply, during forward thrust, one arm should be as close to the neck as possible instead of completely open.
So when Dustin Poirier went to lock Xiao Yong, he didn't just lock Xiao Yong's neck, but also locked him in with his right arm.
Xiao Yong could be seen tightening his jaw and at the same time using his arms to try to open his opponent's arm.
The two sides are locked in a wrestling match!
asphyxia!
This is something Xiao Yong has never experienced in previous games!
Dustin Poirier tried his best to lock Xiao Yong to death!
The two fell to the ground.
The hearts of domestic audiences were aroused.
This was the first time that Xiao Yong had his neck locked.
Under the camera, Xiao Yong's face was red, his veins were exposed, and he tried his best to push the ground with his right hand to create space.
The left hand is trying to open the gap for breathing!
Although he seemed to be at a disadvantage, Xiao Yong did not panic. This situation had happened before in the system space when training with Kevin Li.
With this kind of movement, if the opponent simply performs a guillotine, he will not be able to be locked!
He is very confident!
Another option is to switch to a Das twist. In that case, Xiao Yong also has a way to deal with it!
Finally, Xiao Yong's outstanding strength and endurance gained the upper hand, and he opened the gap bit by bit!
His head suddenly came out! Seeing that Dustin Poirier couldn't lock Xiao Yong, he let go!
Get up quickly!
Avoid a ground fight with Xiao Yong!
Both sides are back on their feet again!
Xiao Yong narrowed his eyes slightly. This guy's reaction speed is very fast. You can use the guillotine to deal with a fall. This is common knowledge, but not everyone can do it.
Because the top wrestlers advance very quickly, and once they get close, they will put their necks on their opponents. At this time, the fleeting opportunity will disappear!
But Dustin Poirier undoubtedly caught Xiao Yong's little flaw just now!
In this world, there are no perfect moves.
There are countermeasures to any move.
Xiao Yong grinned, revealing an excited smile.
This is the opponent I want.
Very strong!
Dustin Poirier was breathing heavily. The fight between the two just now was extremely exhausting.
He tried his best to strangle Xiao Yong, but in the end he failed.
This Chinese man is stronger than he imagined!
Xiao Yong approached his opponent again, this time he did not choose to hug him!
This opponent is different from the opponents I have encountered before.
If you want to hug and throw, you can’t be so direct!
The opponent's anti-fall level and countermeasures are excellent.
If you hug and throw him directly, you will put yourself in a certain dangerous situation.
"Bang bang!"
The two sides started a standing confrontation!
This time, Xiao Yong's standing level was officially displayed in front of everyone.
Faced with Dustin Poirier, Xiao Yong did not fall behind at all, his steps were nimble and his front hand jab was fast and accurate!
And the distance control is extremely precise!
Even though Dustin Poirier is a boxer, in terms of boxing skills, the two of them were evenly matched!
Suddenly, Xiao Yong punched out!
While hitting Dustin Poirier's arm, quickly move sideways and sweep high!
"boom!"
This leg was powerful and heavy, and the defensive arm with diamonds hit him on the head!
Thanks to Dustin Poirier, this diamond is not called it for nothing, it is really hard.
Not to mention not being seriously injured, Xiao Yong was hit hard in the face with a backhand punch!
Xiao Yong's blood was boiling at this moment!
This is the top master!
This is the fight he wants!
Suddenly, Xiao Yong gestured and punched, and Dustin Poirier subconsciously stepped back!
At this moment, Xiao Yong dived and threw him again!
Dustin, who was stunned, didn't react at all this time, and was directly hugged by Xiao Yong around the waist!
Followed by a heel hook!
Dustin Poirier had no room to struggle and was directly pushed to the ground!
Xiao Yong tried to cross the leg to complete the ride!
If he gets the riding position, Xiao Yong has a high chance of ending the game.
Dustin Poirier also knew this very well. When he fell to the ground, his legs locked Xiao Yong's waist, not giving him a chance to cross his legs!
Seeing that his legs couldn't pass, Xiao Yong straightened up, raised his fist and hit the diamond below!
"Bang bang bang!"
In this position, Dustin Poirier has no room to fight back and can only protect his head with both arms!
Keep dodging!
But even so, he still suffered a lot of Xiao Yong's punches. Such heavy punches brought him huge pain with every punch!
The audience cheered and shouted!
Xiao Yong was like a ferocious beast, pounding down with his fists in crazy rotation!
Finally, the bell rang for the end of the first round! Xiao Yong was still a little unfinished, and Dustin Poirier breathed a sigh of relief!
He climbed up from the ground with difficulty.
He glanced at Xiao Yong with fear in his eyes and returned to his corner.
Teams from both sides rushed in!
“Watch out for that guy’s takedown!” Dustin Poirier’s coach yelled, “Find a way to finish him standing up!”
Dustin Poirier gasped and nodded repeatedly.
But he didn't know for sure, because judging from the previous fight, Xiao Yong's standing level was not weak!
And unlike him, Xiao Yong almost doesn't have to guard against his hugs and throws!
To put it bluntly, if Dustin Poirier really rushed over and threw him, it would not be certain who would push whom to the ground!
On Xiao Yong's side, Zheng Tiequan didn't come.
The coaching team basically had no tactical arrangements for him. They just told him to stabilize his mentality, not to be too anxious, and not to give his opponents a chance.
Judging from the first round, Xiao Yong still had the advantage.
Xiao Yong stared at Dustin Poirier, thinking how to finish him off!
Judging from the first round of the game, he was not weak standing up, but he did not hit a particularly effective blow.
I was hugged and thrown twice. The first time I was in danger, but the second time I was successful. Although I couldn't complete the leg because I was locked by the opponent's legs, I still landed a lot of hard blows, but I didn't hit them.
Parts that can be KO'ed.
The opponent's counter-attack ability is also very good.
Next round, what method should be used to break this diamond?
Xiao Yong keeps thinking!
During the break, the audience also started discussing.
Let’s talk about China first. Basically, there is optimism.
"Haha, the ringtone saved him, otherwise Xiao Yong would have won."
"We must win! Come on, boss!"
"Xiao Yong is invincible."
"This diamond can survive one round, which is pretty good."
"It's a pity that he escaped."
Xiao Yong had the complete upper hand in the last period!
Audiences in beautiful countries have different concerns.
"This Xiao's standing skills are even better than expected. I just had a stand-up fight with Dustin, and his movements were so smooth!"
"This guy is really an all-around fighter. He won't lose at all against Dustin Poirier."
"Did you notice his expression when he punched his fist at the end? It was really cruel!"
"I love this crazy and fierce guy to death!"
"Come on Dustin, kill this Chinese guy!"
As the audience discusses, the game starts again!
In the iron cage, the two people slowly approached, but Xiao Yong did not rush to hug him!
He already suffered a loss in the last round, so he won't do that kind of direct action again.
Facing such a master, Xiao Yong knew very well that he should not expose his tactical intentions too much.
Both sides still start from standing!
But the pace is fast!
Because Xiao Yong intends to speed up the pace!
"Bang bang bang!"
The sounds of fists hitting flesh from both sides kept coming!
Xiao Yong hit Dustin Poirier in the ribs with an uppercut!
Dustin Poirier immediately responded with a punch to the face.
The standing confrontation is full of fun to watch.
During the fight, Xiao Yong suddenly punched and feinted again, then rushed forward and threw him!
Dustin Poirier responded quickly this time!
His hands directly held Xiao Yong's armpits!
There was no chance for Xiao Yong to hug his waist and legs!
The two of them hugged each other!
"Xiao Yong feinted again and then threw him. This time Dustin reacted quickly and guarded Xiao Yong!"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Xiao Yong suddenly exerted his strength!
The violent power made Dustin Poirier lose his footing and kept retreating!
"boom!"
Dustin Poirier felt like he was facing a bull!
He was forced to the edge of the octagonal cage by Xiao Yong!
Immediately, Xiao Yong took advantage of the edge of the iron cage to squeeze his opponent with his body and hooked his feet!
Dustin Poirier was hooked again and knocked off balance!
Xiao Yong pushed him down in the corner of the iron cage, but he locked Xiao Yong's arm tightly.
At this time, he knew very well that as long as he controlled Xiao Yong's hands, he would not be beaten!
I saw Xiao Yong, who was pressing on Dustin Poirier, suddenly straighten his body, and then quickly retracted his body, using his body to drive his thigh, and his right knee hit Dustin Poirier's stomach hard!
"boom!"
At this moment, Dustin Poirier felt a sharp pain.
Abdominal cramps!
Thanks to his strong enough ability to withstand blows, he was able to withstand it!
But Xiao Yong, this is just the beginning!
What follows is a repetition of the action!
"Bang bang bang!"
Three consecutive knees! Dustin Poirier couldn't bear it anymore. Just as Xiao Yong straightened his body again and prepared for a knee strike, he suddenly let go of Xiao Yong's hand and quickly hugged Xiao Yong's body.
He knew very well that in this situation, it was impossible to escape Xiao Yong's control.
Instead, he wanted to control Xiao Yong!
Trying to get the back!
Although his ground skills are not at the master level, they are still there!
If you get the back, there is no chance of finishing the opponent.
How could Xiao Yong give him a chance!
You know, once your back is grabbed, you will suffer big losses!
Xiao Yong immediately twisted his body and used both hands to control his opponent's arms!
Use your legs to control the opponent's legs and don't give your opponent a chance to take the back!
Dustin Poirier is like being entangled by a python. Fortunately, this guy has done a good job in targeted training in fall prevention and ground escape.
The two of them continued to struggle, but Xiao Yong was never able to take the lead!
Watching time pass by minute by minute.
Despite the struggle, Dustin Poirier was still seized by Xiao Yong!
I saw Xiao Yong suddenly loosening control of his legs and arms, quickly moving sideways, grabbing his back, and at the same time locking Dustin Poirier's waist with his legs, and then Xiao Yong
The arm went right through Dustin Poirier's neck!
Naked hanging!
Xiao Yong wants to do a naked choke!
Dustin Poirier had this thought in his mind and immediately locked his neck!
Don’t give Xiao Yong a chance to put his arm close to his throat!
But after feeling his movement, Xiao Yong put a hand directly on his face, hugged his face and moved him hard!
Forcefully remove the gap in his neck!
The arm was also strangled!
Dustin Poirier was shocked when he felt Xiao Yong's arm close to his neck!
He quickly grabbed Xiao Yong's arm around his neck with both hands, exerted force at the same time, and pulled it away forcefully, without giving Xiao Yong a chance to complete the action!
Seeing that he could not lock him, Xiao Yong changed his tactics again and directly raised his fist from the back to hit Dustin Poirier in the side of the face!
This is why holding the back is a big advantage.
As long as you get the opponent's back and lock the opponent's waist with your feet, you have two options. One is to do a naked choke!
If the action is completed, the opponent will lose the game directly!
Another way is to hit the opponent in the face with your fist. At this time, the player who is being held back has no chance to fight back.
Because it is impossible for the arm to hit the person behind. Even if it can barely hit the person, it will have no power at all.
As for the player behind him, he punches the player in front of him in the face. Although the effect is not very good, the power must be much more sufficient. No one can take unlimited punches like this!
Bang bang bang!
Dustin Poirier took a few punches.
Fortunately, we were very close to the cage at this time.
He put his face against the iron cage, used the iron cage to exert his strength, and stood up with difficulty!
It has to be said that if this guy makes even the slightest mistake in his response, the game may be over.
Dustin Poirier leaned against the iron cage, turned his body, and placed one side of his body under the cover of the edge of the iron cage. After taking a few more punches, he controlled one of Xiao Yong's arms with his right hand!
The game entered a stalemate stage.
It is also difficult for Xiao Yong to make effective attacks and submissions!
After the two men grinded for a while, the bell rang for the second round.
The two separated again!
Everyone returns to their corner positions.
Xiao Yong was also breathing heavily at this time.
This kind of fighting consumes a lot of physical energy.
The opponent's anti-fall and anti-finishing were better than he imagined.
Although he got the advantageous position in both rounds, he failed to win the opponent.
However, in these two rounds, Xiao Yong definitely had the upper hand.
Since this fight is the main event, it lasts for five rounds.
The coaching staff remains optimistic.
"Keep it up, your opponent will always make mistakes. If he makes a mistake, he will lose. And if the fight reaches a decision like this, we will definitely win!"
Xiao Yong nodded.
On the other side, Diamond's coach is also encouraging him.
"The performance is very good! You must try your best to find the opponent's flaws while standing, and also seize the opportunity to throw him, and finish him with a guillotine. Don't be afraid! His physical fitness has also dropped a lot, and the wrestling speed will definitely slow down in the following rounds!
