At the press conference, looking at the confident Tony Ferguson, Xiao Yong laughed: "He is very strong, but the reason why he won twelve consecutive games without losing a game is just because he has not met me yet. This game
, he has no chance of winning, whether standing or on the ground, I am stronger than him!"
Faced with Xiao Yong's slightly arrogant speech, a reporter immediately asked: "Xiao, do you think if you can really win the game, how will you win?"
"KO! I will give everyone a KO finish! Not a submission, not a TKO, but a KO!"
Xiao Yong announced his winning method in advance.
Tony Ferguson, who was on the side, became confused. Is this guy deliberately setting off smoke bombs?
You know, KO means ending the game while standing!
Although Xiao Yong defeated Dustin Poirier with a beautiful KO in the last game, looking at the entire game, Xiao Yong still used a lot of ground suppression.
For this competition, Xiao Yong had very little time to prepare.
Can he make a stylistic change?
The confident smile on Xiao Yong's face left Tony Ferguson a little confused!
In fact, although targeted training cannot be done, tactics can still be formulated in advance.
Just the day before the press conference, Xiao Yong and a group of coaches watched the game video at the training ground.
Undefeated for six consecutive years, with 12 consecutive wins and the longest winning streak in the lightweight category, Tony Ferguson showed very good abilities in the game.
The coaching staff, including Zheng Tiequan, watched the game together.
Zheng Tiequan looked at Xiao Yong and said: "In this game, I personally suggest that you mainly stand!"
Xiao Yong touched his chin, while staring at Tony Ferguson on the screen, he smiled and said: "You mean, the opponent that guy is preparing for is Khabib. If I use hugging and ground fighting, I will be more aggressive towards him."
favorable?"
Zheng Tiequan nodded and said: "Yes, that's it! Although this guy is all-powerful, the preparations for this time are definitely aimed at Khabib. In comparison, I am afraid that he has prepared more low-level fights.
Although his standing skills are also top-notch, I think your chance of victory is still greater!"
"Moreover, compared to this guy's weird agility on the ground, he has been knocked around many times in standing games, and his head protection is obviously insufficient. I think this will become his weakness."
Xiao Yong looked at the other coaches and they all agreed with Zheng Tiequan.
Therefore, standing to end the game has become a tactic unanimously recognized by Xiao Yong and the coaching staff!
At this time, Xiao Yong said it without any concealment, because he knew very well that even if he said it, his opponent might not believe it.
Even if you believe it, it doesn't matter.
Although Tony Ferguson has excellent lower position skills, he is not particularly strong in wrestling.
Even if you know the tactics, what can you do?
I'll fight you openly!
At the press conference, I faced Xiao Yong’s bold words.
All the media, including Tony Ferguson, are skeptical.
After all, everyone knows that wrestling and suppression are Xiao Yong's best weapons.
So, some media immediately asked for confirmation: "Xiao, do you mean that you want to have a standing battle with Tony?"
"Yes, I will beat him with my fists, legs, elbows and knees!" Xiao Yong nodded seriously!
The reporters looked at Tony Ferguson who was standing aside. Ferguson smiled and said: "I'm looking forward to Shaw's game. I don't think he can beat me in standing. You know, no one can KO me. From the beginning of my career,
No one can do this!"
As far as standing is concerned, Tony Ferguson's biggest advantage is his steel-like chin.
No matter how many heavy blows he suffered, he has never been directly knocked out by anyone in his career.
So he didn't think Xiao Yong could do this at all.
At the end of the press conference, although there was a strong smell of gunpowder, there was no fierce conflict.
Finally, Xiao Yong gave his three bottles of wine to Dana Bai.
Dana Bai held the drink and smiled: "You know, this guy's wine is selling very well now. I can just take it to have a few drinks with my friends. Or we can try it now!"
With that said, Dana White opened the whiskey, poured the wine glasses for himself and Tony Ferguson!
In this area, Dana White is more generous than Guan Huashan.
The final press conference ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
But the media covered the game enthusiastically!
"The first interim champion of the yellow race? Xiao Yong boasts of KOing Tony Ferguson!"
"Yam Luo from China, with a career-ending record, can he defeat the Night Devil Ferguson?"
"In a standing battle, Xiao Yong may release tactical smoke bombs!"
"Temporary confrontation, Tony Ferguson and Xiao Yong will compete for the interim lightweight championship!"
Whether in the beautiful country or in China, it has triggered heated discussions.
The interim championship is also a championship.
Prior to this, the most outstanding achievement of the yellow race was when Zheng Chansheng, a player from Kimchi Country, challenged the featherweight king Jose Aldo.
The challenge failed!
After him, no yellow man can reach the championship level.
This time, Xiao Yong conducted a temporary championship challenge!
In the kimchi country and the island country, they all have a negative view of Xiao Yong!
There is no way, Xiao Yong is basically in a state of complete public enemy in these two countries.
Even netizens from the two countries who have always been at odds have formed a united front!
"Haha, this Xiao Yong will be beaten to death by Tony Ferguson!"
"I'm looking forward to his submission!"
"Want to beat Tony Ferguson in a stand-up match? Impossible, he will definitely lose!"
"How can the Chinese do something that players from both our countries can't do?"
Compared to China, these two countries attach more importance to fighting.
Especially the island nation, it is actually considered a strong fighting country. Whether it is boxing, kickboxing or MMA, there are many players who have achieved results.
But none of them have achieved results in the UFC!
This also shows the intensity of competition within the UFC.
Not to mention China.
Netizens unanimously expressed support for Xiao Yong.
He even started a fierce confrontation with netizens from several countries on the Internet!
Although there is only one week, it starts from the announcement of this game.
The popularity instantly increased!
Continuously dominates the hot searches in multiple countries!
This also shows that Xiao Yong's influence is getting higher and higher.
Game day!
The venue was packed!
Now Xiao Yong's popularity in the beautiful country is also rising steadily!
The domineering style of competition, coupled with the weird KO in the last game, makes Xiao Yong the most unique existence among UFC players.
As the opening music played, Xiao Yong appeared.
Buffer's passionate roar was accompanied by cheers from the audience.
Xiao Yong's whole body was on fire.
He was staring at Tony Ferguson opposite!
That was his favorite fighter ever!
But today, I will compete with Xiao Yong on the same stage.
Amid cheers, both Xiao Yong and Tony Ferguson entered the cage!
The referee told some rules of the game, and then announced the start of the game, and the two sides slowly approached!
The game officially begins!
Tony Ferguson stared closely at Xiao Yong's movements.
Keep your distance!
He was surprised to find that Xiao Yong's arms were relatively high!
That's right, compared to the hug he saw from Xiao Yong before, this time, Xiao Yong's arms were raised higher than usual.
It seems like we are really going to have a standing battle with him!
Tony Ferguson suddenly raised his legs and kicked Xiao Yong directly in the midsection!
Xiao Yong retreats quickly!
Tony Ferguson's legwork failed.
He frowned in disbelief!
Does this guy really want to fight with me?
In fact, the reason why he used leg tricks was to give Xiao Yong a loophole!
Because it is difficult to move the legs when using the leg technique, it is a great opportunity for a tackle. However, when Xiao Yong faced his attack, he simply retreated to dodge, but did not engage in a tackle!
Xiao Yong had a smile on his face. If it were normal, he would have chosen to throw him!
However, the tactics have been formulated, and he also said before the game, let's try standing first!
If the effect is really not good, then Xiao Yong may make adjustments in the middle of the game, and it will be too late by then.
It’s just that now, Xiao Yong really plans to compete with Tony Ferguson in stand-up.
In the system space these days, Xiao Yong has been experiencing ultra-high-intensity standing battles every night!
Training with peak Michael Johnson and Dustin Poirier; two stand-up masters taking turns training.
The two sides started a wandering test in the octagonal cage.
Standing technique, in fact, is essentially about distance control!
The higher the level of players, the more accurate the distance control.
For example, Conor McGregor has repeatedly staged great performances of extreme distance control. The opponent's fist hit him in front of him, but he just couldn't hit it.
Xiao Yong's standing level is actually extremely high.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to defeat Sitichai in the first place.
But most of the time, it was covered up by his strong hugging and suppressing.
Because Xiao Yong's weapon arsenal is so comprehensive, and in the few games he has fought since coming to the UFC, the effect of using wrestling will be better, so in the eyes of the beautiful Chinese audience, Xiao Yong is a player who prefers wrestling and ground.
Even in the eyes of Tony Ferguson.
Both sides kept trying to attack their opponents, but all failed.
This also represents the precise distance control between both parties!
In the first half of the round, both sides basically maintained movement and distance, making feints!
Look for each other's weaknesses.
Two minutes and fifty seconds into the round, Xiao Yong quickly approached, raised his leg and kicked Tony Ferguson's knee!
Even when facing his favorite player, Xiao Yong showed no mercy!
"Snapped!"
This time, facing Xiao Yong's rapid advance, Tony Ferguson did not completely dodge!
Xiao Yong kicked him in the leg.
At the same time, he kicked the ground hard, jumped forward with one foot, and punched Xiao Yong straight in the face with his right fist!
"Superman Punch! Tony Ferguson hit the Superman Punch after Xiao Yong kicked his knee! Oops, Xiao Yong dodged it!" the commentator of Meiliguo shouted excitedly.
The two sides finally started fighting at close range!
At this time, while Xiao Yong was dodging the Superman punch, his right hand had already hit Tony Ferguson's chin!
"boom!"
A precise punch hit the opponent's face directly.
Tony Ferguson fell directly to the ground, but did not lose consciousness.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yong quickly stepped forward to pursue him.
After falling to the ground, Tony Ferguson rolled backwards, stood up, and turned around with an elbow!
Xiao Yong, who was pursuing, quickly leaned back, and the sharp iron elbow rubbed the tip of Xiao Yong's nose!
After a fight, Xiao Yong gained the upper hand.
Xiao Yong stared at Tony Ferguson in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
It’s easier than expected!
The heavy punch just now hit hard.
However, the opponent's resistance ability is really stronger than Xiao Yong expected.
Although he was knocked to the ground, he still quickly adjusted his condition and counterattacked. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough just now, he might have suffered a blow!
In fact, Tony Ferguson's standing level cannot be said to be at the top of the lightweight class.
This guy's head protection was not in place. In many games, he was hit hard by his opponents.
But this guy has a jaw like steel and extremely tough toughness.
No matter what kind of heavy blow you encounter, you can quickly adjust and win the game.
The beautiful country commentator also laughed: "Haha, Tony was knocked around again. We have seen this kind of scene in many games, but this guy can always adjust and win the game!"
Obviously, at this point they still don't think Tony Ferguson will lose the game.
On the field, Tony Ferguson looked at Xiao Yong cautiously!
"Damn! This guy's fist is so heavy!"
With that punch just now, Tony Ferguson's vision even went dark for a moment.
Although he has encountered heavy blows from his opponents many times, there are very few who can inflict such heavy blows on him at the beginning of the game!
The two sides got close again.
Xiao Yong raised his leg again, this time it was not a kick to the knee, but a low sweep!
Tony Ferguson was a jab!
Both sides hit their opponents at the same time, but Tony Ferguson's fist hit Xiao Yong's arm!
Xiao Yong, on the other hand, kicked Tony Ferguson firmly in the calf.
The violent power made Tony Ferguson feel severe pain!
This actually inspired his ferocity. Tony Ferguson did not retreat but advanced, and attacked Xiao Yong!
"Bang bang bang!"
The two sides started a fierce battle!
Each other has a hit.
"boom!"
Xiao Yong’s fist hit Tony Ferguson’s right eye!
With this punch, the corner of Tony Ferguson's eye was opened directly, and blood flowed down his cheek.
No one expected that Tony Ferguson would be blinded in just the first round of the game.
At this time, Xiao Yong felt somewhat calm in his heart.
The opponent is weaker than imagined!
Facing this former favorite boxer, he actually didn't want to admit it, but Xiao Yong did feel this way.
Although Tony Ferguson also gave him a few punches, and although Tony Ferguson's ability to resist was very strong, Xiao Yong could feel that compared to Dustin Poirier or Michael Johnson at his peak, the punches Tony Ferguson gave him
Standing pressure is very small.
Compared to these two, Tony Ferguson did not protect his head well enough.
In the process of boxing at close range, both speed and accuracy seemed a bit lacking.
"Why! Why are you so weak?"
Xiao Yong said, his voice was a little low and contained anger!
This was a disappointment. He originally wanted to fight against the top players, but during the fight, Xiao Yong found that his opponent was not as strong as he had imagined.
Upon hearing Xiao Yong's question, Ferguson was furious and punched Xiao Yong with all his strength.
The fist failed again!
Xiao Yong easily leaned back and dodged.
I recall watching him play before.
Xiao Yong had a vague realization in his heart.
He is old!
His fists were not as precise and sharp as before!
The opponent in front of me is already 35 years old!
It's no longer at its peak.
Although he maintains a winning streak, although he is about to challenge Khabib.
But it is undeniable that his condition has declined to a great extent compared to before.
"boom!"
Xiao Yong's counterattack hit Tony Ferguson again!
This time it’s the cheekbones!
Continuous heavy punches hit Tony Ferguson, who was a little confused!
Xiao Yong lifts his knees and rolls his hips!
A high sweep directly hits the opponent's head!
"boom!"
Tony Ferguson defended Xiao Yong's attack.
At this moment, the bell rang for the end of the first round.
Ferguson is covered in his blood.
The mouth at the corner of his eye continued to bleed.
In comparison, Xiao Yong's condition is much better.
It can be said that from the first round, Xiao Yong completely crushed his opponent.
In the corner, Tony Ferguson was breathing heavily.
He never expected that Xiao Yong's standing level would actually give him a feeling that was difficult to match.
"Tony, you have to find a way to hit him. You have too few effective attacks! There are too few critical hits!"
Tony Ferguson's coach yelled.
But at this time, Tony Ferguson didn't listen at all.
He was a little confused!
Compared to the coach, Tony Ferguson, who was on the field, felt the gap between the two more clearly.
In the match just now, there were many punches. If he were a few years younger, he might have been able to hit Xiao Yong, but just now, he could only take heavy blows from Xiao Yong!
After more than ten years of fighting, he knew very well that he might not have a chance in this game.
For a moment, Tony Ferguson was a little confused and a little sad!
The gold belt that I have been chasing for so long may never have a chance against this opponent.
Suddenly he noticed the fierce and sharp look in Xiao Yong's eyes across from him.
He recalled what Xiao Yong said just now!
"Why? Why are you so weak?"
These words were like a knife thrust into his heart!
"I am Tony Ferguson, the Night Stalker! When will I be looked down upon like this?"
Ferguson's eyes were burning with fighting spirit again!
Even if you have to lose! You still have to bite off a piece of your opponent’s flesh!
Xiao Yong is very strong, stronger than everyone he has fought before, but this is exactly the kind of game!
That made him even more excited!
The game restarted, and Tony Ferguson was covered in blood, but he was smiling.
Just like the classic scene created in the octagonal cage back then.
"Xiao! If you want the championship! Then defeat me! Let me see how strong you are!"
Tony Ferguson yelled at Xiao Yong!
Although the body is old, the fighting spirit is still there!
