In the hotel, Xiao Yong lay on the bed and stretched.
He just came back from the training base.
During this period, although Xiao Yong's training intensity was not high on the surface, in fact, he paid great attention to it.
In reality, a special anti-fighting sparring partner was hired.
In the system space, he also asked several stand-up experts to take turns to accompany him in training.
To adapt to Connor's counterattack.
Compared with Connor, Xiao Yong's real training time will only be longer, so he doesn't panic at all!
Suddenly, the phone in the hotel room rang, and Xiao Yong picked it up without thinking too much!
"Xiao, listen, in the game against Connor, you need to lose the game! If you lose the game, 30 million US dollars will be credited to your account after the game, otherwise you will not be able to get out of Mexico."
On the other side of the phone was a man with a deep voice.
Xiao Yong frowned. He didn't expect that he would be threatened!
Thirty million dollars?
Let yourself lose to Connor on purpose?
Who is the person?
"Who are you?"
Xiao Yong asked the question in his heart.
"I represent the Juarez family!" the man on the other end of the phone said solemnly.
Xiao Yong hung up the phone directly and unplugged the phone line in the room!
Xiao Yong has heard of this name for the Juarez family.
Belongs to one of Mexico's largest gang organizations.
The opponent actually found his hotel phone number and called him to make him lose the game?
If I lose, will I be given 30 million US dollars?
why is that?
Periphery?
UFC boxing matches also have peripheral bets, or in other words, all sports in the West have peripheral bets.
This is beyond anyone's control.
It is even said that gambling companies will sponsor certain events.
Now in the match between Xiao Yong and Connor, the odds of Xiao Yong winning are about 1:0.6.
This is a relatively low odds.
To put it simply, Xiao Yong wins by betting 100 yuan. After Xiao Yong wins, as the bettor, he can get 60 yuan.
In the competition between top superstars, this kind of odds shows that in the analysis of outside bookmakers, Xiao Yong's probability of winning is much higher than that of Conor McGregor.
The odds of Connor defeating Xiao Yong are 1:2.5, which is a terrifyingly high odds.
It can be seen that in the eyes of bookmakers or bettors, Connor's winning rate is not as good as Xiao Yong.
In fact, there are more ways to play, such as betting on specific ways to win, such as which round the game will end in, all of which can be bets on.
Here are just the odds of winning and losing for both sides.
As for the gambling companies, it actually doesn’t matter whether they win or lose.
Because all odds are calculated strictly and adjusted in real time, no matter which side loses the game, the betting company will still make a profit.
There is no such thing as saying that if one side loses, the gambling company will definitely lose money.
Even the betting company itself will limit the maximum amount of a single bet to prevent accidents.
In other words, the Juarez family is very likely to be eyeing the betting odds and want to have a fake fight of their own!
Other than this, Xiao Yong really couldn't think of why the opponent let him lose the game.
But for Xiao Yong, this is definitely something he doesn't want to do.
In a villa, a man in his forties with red hair shook his head helplessly as he listened to the busy signal on the phone.
He looked at the opposite side, where an old man with gray hair and a cigar in his mouth was sitting on the sofa, watching Xiao Yong's game on TV and asked: "The phone can't be connected. I guess the phone line has been unplugged. What should we do?"
Do you want to enter?"
In fact, the Juarez family has not entered the gambling market so far.
The old man is none other than Harrison Juarez.
Now the head of the Juarez family, he is sixty-four years old.
After hearing his son's report, Harrison shook his head and said: "If he doesn't agree, there is no need to enter. It is difficult to make such a fierce guy surrender with just a phone call. However, since he has violated our Juarez family,
, it’s appropriate to pay some price, let’s make some preparations! See if we can tie him up and ask for a ransom to make up for our losses!”
Kidnapping itself is also part of the Juarez family's daily business.
Daniel Juarez nodded and said: "I understand."
In fact, the Becle Group is an industry controlled by the Juarez family.
So for them, Xiao Yong losing the game is what they want to see most.
If Xiao Yong wins the game, it will definitely further depreciate the value of Connor's beverage brand.
As for the promised US$30 million, Harrison Juarez actually had no intention of giving it from the beginning.
It's just a ploy to fool Xiao Yong.
It's a pity that Xiao Yong was not unified!
The Juarez family, in this country, can be said to take both black and white.
After hearing Harrison's instructions, Daniel Juarez nodded, turned and left the room.
Harrison Juarez was the only one left in the room.
"Haha, Chinese people don't know what's good and what's good! It's best if that guy Connor can kick your ass."
Old Harrison closed his eyes.
He doesn't like Xiao Yong!
In other words, he doesn't like all races other than white people.
Especially Xiao Yong!
Originally, the Becle Group invested in Connor's wine. With the increase in the wine market and the brand's reputation, in just one year, the Juarez family saw the huge benefits of the wine market.
However, Xiao Yong's Shanhe Liquor Company came into being and squeezed the market at the same level to a great extent.
This makes Harrison very unhappy!
In the hotel, Xiao Yong hung up the phone.
He looked at the system interface.
The last time I bought the Shou Yuan Dan, I spent all my fear points.
However, after a recent period of growth, the fear value has risen to 10 million.
This shows the benefits of filming movies and TV series.
No matter where in the world people are, as long as they watch his movies and TV series, they will give Xiao Yong a fear value.
These things are like machines placed there. As long as someone touches them, they will help Xiao Yong continue to increase his fear value.
After knowing that the other party was the Juarez family, Xiao Yong was quite worried to be honest.
After all, he is not Superman!
Mexico is a country where gangs are more powerful than the officialdom.
The Juarez family is one of the six strongest gangs in the country, how could he not be worried?
Xiao Yong looked at the system interface.
1: Energy Talisman (when the host faces a fatal attack, it can be automatically activated to defend against all external attacks. Duration: 30 seconds. Consumption of vicious energy: 500)
In fact, Xiao Yong had no intention of buying this thing.
Because in Xiao Yong's opinion, it is simply something that is not used in daily life.
But now after this phone call, Xiao Yong became a little worried.
Directly chose to buy.
After buying it, Xiao Yong was still worried and prepared to buy the second item.
3: Special skill: Group fear (the host consumes a large amount of fear value, causing everyone in the surrounding area to feel extreme fear. The range of fear depends on how much fear value is consumed. The more frightening the host itself is, the better the fear effect will be.
The lower the fear value, the skill acquisition: consumes 5000 vicious energy.)
Xiao Yong actually had no intention of purchasing this skill this time.
But now, he is a little worried.
Although I don’t know what consequences this extreme fear will have.
But if someone really makes trouble for him, Xiao Yong doesn't want to sit back and wait for death!
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for acquiring the special skill, group fear!"
After purchasing two things, Xiao Yong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called Hoya.
"Hoya, I just received a call, and the other party said he was from the Juarez family."
The call was hung up, and Hoya rushed over not long after.
As an agent, he was naturally present in person at this event, which is considered the peak of UFC traffic.
As soon as he entered the door, Hoya immediately said with a serious face: "Xiao, this is not a trivial matter. The Juarez family, if they really want to touch you, you will be in trouble! Try not to go out these days. I will go to the emergency room again."
Contact the bodyguard company for you and hire some bodyguards. Don’t leave the public place to go to any private space until the game is over!”
Xiao Yong nodded and agreed.
Although the hired bodyguards may not be able to beat Xiao Yong with their bare hands, here, everyone can carry a gun!
This is legal.
Hoya said: "I will also contact Dana and ask him to put pressure on local officials to do a good job in security! During this period, you must be careful and careful!"
No one should be careless about this matter.
Xiao Yong nodded, indicating that he understood.
As an agent with local Mexican boxers like Alvarez, De La Hoya knows better than anyone how powerful the Juarez family is.
After Hoya finished his instructions, he was hesitant to speak. Finally, he said: "Xiao, do you want me to ask someone? If it doesn't work, I will agree to them. If I have 30 million US dollars, I will lose to Connor. In fact,
It’s not unacceptable, right?”
He certainly understands the value of a boxer's unbeatable record.
But in this case, in his opinion, offending the Juarez family was not a wise choice.
Xiao Yong frowned and said, "Has anyone else done this before?"
De La Hoya smiled bitterly and said: "George Arthur was kidnapped by local gangs back then, but he was a local boxer, and those guys bought him to win! So I just had a drink with him and gave him away. Alex
Sandro Gonzalez was killed in his car, and no one knows exactly who he offended!"
Xiao Yong was speechless.
In fact, here, many ordinary people, boxers, and celebrities have experienced being held hostage by gangs.
Xiao Yong shook his head and said: "No, no matter what, I must win this game! Hoya, I need some weapons for self-defense. In addition to bodyguards, get me a gun!"
Xiao Yong didn't think he could defeat everything with his fists.
In this chaotic country, if it really comes to a moment of crisis, he will not hesitate to use any means to protect himself!
De La Hoya did not refuse.
Xiao Yong also noticed some subtexts in Hoya's words. Obviously, he also has some connections here, at least he can contact some local gangs.
One day later, Hoya brought four bodyguards. These four were all tall and strong men, all over 1.9 meters tall!
And carry weapons with you!
Xiao Yong also has to pay a large salary for them.
At the same time, De La Hoya also got Xiao Yong a Glock18!
This is a fully automatic pistol. It is not difficult to buy this thing here.
"Xiao, be careful not to shoot unless absolutely necessary! You are a public figure and cannot cause trouble!"
Hoya warned again.
Xiao Yong nodded. In fact, he took this thing just in case.
In the next few days, Xiao Yong continued to prepare and train!
During this process, the four bodyguards basically stayed together. Even at night, these four guys lived in Xiao Yong's suite, and one of them always stayed awake.
In the system space, Xiao Yong specially conducted shooting training!
To simulate a gun, you only need a few thousand fear points.
But Xiao Yong suddenly discovered a problem!
"System, you see, Chinese people can exchange a little fear for a little RMB. I can understand that. Then why don't beautiful Chinese people exchange a little fear for a little US dollar?"
Faced with Xiao Yong's question, the system did not respond.
Xiao Yong was very disappointed with this.
At the weighing site, Xiao Yong stood on the weighing stage with a solemn expression.
In fact, Xiao Yong gained weight again during such a long period of time.
My daily weight has reached 160 kilograms, which is 176 pounds!
So after a lot of dehydration, his body became extremely thin!
This weight is even slightly larger than Connor's weight loss.
Connor's daily weight is about 170 pounds.
This number is actually considered a very extreme number.
Khabib, on the other hand, has to focus on losing weight from his daily weight of nearly 200 pounds. Although the preparation period will definitely decline, one can also imagine the dangers and difficulties involved.
He retired a total of seven times in the UFC, mostly due to weight loss issues.
Xiao Yong stood on the weighing platform and passed the weight limit perfectly.
In fact, after discussions with the coaching staff, Xiao Yong believed that this number was already the maximum. If the limit was higher, it would be too difficult to lose weight!
It’s too dangerous for players’ health!
And Xiao Yong doesn't think that he needs to completely crush his weight and reach a standard and limit where he won't suffer a loss. That's enough.
He is not a weight loss fanatic, so the weight difference between the two is basically not big!
The two sides stood together, with endless anger bursting out of their mouths!
"Xiao! I will definitely defeat you! I won't let you beat my brother in vain!"
It can be said that this is the victory that Conor desires most in the UFC!
Xiao Yong sneered: "Connor, when you lead people to besiege me, be prepared to be beaten by me!"
Dana Bai quickly stopped between the two of them. He really didn't dare to let the two of them conflict now. If Xiao Yong punched Connor and broke the bridge of Connor's nose, the game would be ruined!
Connor snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Xiao Yong also got off the ring from the other side.
Dana Bai couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Finally there was no conflict!
When it comes to other players' pre-game weigh-ins, he is eager to clash at the starting point. In his eyes, punching and kicking each other is not a big deal at all.
But Xiao Yong
Having witnessed Xiao Yong's terrifying fighting ability last time, Dana White actually didn't think Connor could win this game from the bottom of his heart.
"Connor, just become Xiao Yong's stepping stone and make him the UFC's biggest cash cow!"
Dana Bai looked at Connor walking away and made a calculation in his mind!
For Dana White, people with higher commercial value are the people he needs more.
From the current point of view, Xiao Yong's commercial value has actually reached a very high level, and Dana Bai is even more optimistic about Xiao Yong's future!
In his opinion, Connor did not have the strength to rule for a long time.
Although Connor is very strong, he has already lost to Khabib, but now Xiao Yong seems to be showing a dominant level of strength!
Compared with Habib, who has a low attendance rate and a single style of play, Xiao Yong has more diverse finishing abilities.
Able to play a game that completely exceeds the audience's expectations.
It can even bring various magical finishing methods!
So now what Dana White hopes most is for Xiao Yong to win the lightweight championship and then start his reign!
Match day, match scene.
There were huge crowds of people, and the security this time was extremely tight.
All spectators entering the venue must go through strict security checks to prevent anyone from bringing in any weapons.
Harrison Juarez is sitting at home watching the game on TV.
Although he is very powerful, he is still in darkness and cannot go anywhere.
After all, the Juarez family is only one of the six major local gangs. These six gangs are not incompatible with each other. They have numerous grievances with each other. They also have the police, although in Harrison's view, they are very incompetent.
But that doesn't mean that he can really appear in public without any scruples.
"Daniel, have you arranged your actions after the game?"
Daniel Juarez said confidently: "It's arranged."
Harrison said calmly: "This guy can earn tens of millions of dollars per game, and he ranked first in the Forbes athlete income rankings last year. Let them prepare 200 million US dollars."
Even for a large family like Juarez, this number is not small.
Excitement flashed in Harrison's eyes.
In the arena, Xiao Yong and Connor appeared accompanied by music and Buffer's roar.
There was a burst of cheers from the audience!
Dana White was on the sidelines with a smile on his face.
But my heart is very heavy.
After learning that Xiao Yong was threatened, he already regretted it. The reason why he held this game was to enhance the UFC's influence here.
Carry out market expansion.
First, this is a neutral country, which is fair to both sides. Second, the attention to this game is high enough.
But Dana Bai never expected that Xiao Yong would be threatened by a local gang.
He even manipulated the results of the game!
This is completely unacceptable to Dana White.
Dana White has made up his mind that after this game, there will never be any arrangements for superstars to come here to compete.
This country is too dangerous!
At this time, Xiao Yong had already put all the messy thoughts behind him.
He stepped into the Octagon. On the other side, Connor was walking back and forth, swinging his arms and walking in his arrogant and domineering signature steps, causing the audience to scream!
"Come on! Xiao! I will KO you! Revenge for my brother!"
