Ten consecutive wins, at any level, is a commendable record!
Xiao Yong has maintained an unbeatable record in the UFC lightweight division so far, with less than ten games.
This is because Xiao Yong's starting point is much higher than Oliveira's.
Compared with Xiao Yong's smooth sailing, Oliveira's record after entering UFC was not impressive at the beginning, and it can even be said that he is on the verge of being terminated.
But now, he is one of the strongest lightweight players.
Some players, such as Khabib and Xiao Yong, are born to be kings and have extremely high technical maturity. After entering UFC, they use their talents to crush their opponents!
Some players, like Oliveira, gradually become stronger from the bottom and work their way up.
Sometimes, such players are more popular with the audience.
Because people like to read this kind of inspirational story.
After Oliveira expressed his dissatisfaction, many of his fans also expressed their dissatisfaction with Xiao Yong!
"He is so arrogant! Oliveira's skills are very solid and his record is also very good. He defeated Chandler and Gage. These are opponents that Xiao Yong has never played against. Xiao Yong should
Look at Oliveira!"
"One round? Huaxia Xiao is just telling a joke! Unless he admits defeat, there is no way he can do such a thing!"
"I still like Oliveira more. I can see the shadow of ordinary people in him."
Both of them were in good condition at this time, and the match that Dana gave them was arranged very closely.
It's just two months after the announced date, so it won't be too long for both fighters to prepare for the fight.
But for Xiao Yong, this was enough.
With system space, he can simulate his defeated generals. It is easy for him to adapt to training!
In the system space, D'Amato stood beside the octagonal cage, watching with interest Xiao Yong and the little eagle in the iron cage training.
Unlike other creatures in the system space, D'Amato has his own consciousness. He can now be said to be living in Xiao Yong's system space as a soul.
Xiao Yong also embodied many modern entertainment products and books for this old guy to relieve his boredom.
Xiao Yong's training program still includes boxing.
Cross-border war is so profitable!
Even Xiao Yong has a hard time resisting this temptation.
And he has the idea of becoming a Gotta in the fighting world, so boxing is a sport that cannot be avoided.
Therefore, he will continue to improve his boxing skills.
"Your weight is still too small! When you move up to the heavyweight class, with your explosive power, if this guy dares to come over and hug you, you can knock him out with one punch!"
Seeing the inextricable fight between Xiao Yong and Xiaoying, D'Amato squatted beside the cage and gave his evaluation!
He doesn't deny the ability to wrestle.
However, in his opinion, if a wrestler faces a punch that can knock him out, it is actually very dangerous.
This is also based on different weight classes, and the styles of players at each level will actually differ.
While fighting Xiaoying, Xiao Yong gasped and replied: "The premise is that the boxer must have sufficient anti-fall ability, otherwise, there is a high probability that the ground technical fighter will win!"
This fact has been confirmed in the early UFC. When a boxer enters the Octagon without the ability to prevent falling, he will have no ability to resist once he is pulled into the ground.
Therefore, if you have heavy punches, you must also be able to prevent falls. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to exert the power of heavy punches.
D'Amato naturally knew that what Xiao Yong said was right.
These days, Xiao Yong is preparing to return to the Octagon, which is a bit disappointing for him. He still prefers to help Xiao Yong prepare for boxing matches.
In this kind of mixed martial arts competition, the help he can provide is relatively limited.
But as he watched Xiao Yong continue to fight against his defeated opponents in the system space, D'Amato also had a great change in his view of mixed martial arts.
Even he has to admit that this kind of more open rules and more open style of fighting are actually generally better-looking than boxing matches as far as competitions are concerned.
At dawn, after a night of training, Xiao Yong opened his eyes from home!
He turned to look at Yang Lele beside him.
Even without a trace of makeup, the girl's skin is still smooth, tender and as white as snow.
Suddenly, Yang Lele opened her eyes, and the two looked at each other. Yang Lele smiled sweetly: "Are you awake?"
"Um!"
"Let's get up later today..." Yang Lele said in a coquettish tone, while talking, she got into Xiao Yong's arms.
"OK."
The two didn't get up, they just hugged each other quietly, enjoying their time alone.
"The Tenglong Finals International Tournament has been held recently, and the overall ratings are average. Mainly because many boxers who were originally optimistic were defeated by foreign boxers, which resulted in many viewers not having a good viewing experience. Moreover, the aggressive rhetoric against the boxers was also very fierce.
In comparison, it is still a domestic regional competition with more viewers!"
The two of them sat together for a while, and Yang Lele lay in Xiao Yong's arms and said, with a hint of sadness on his face.
Since its inception internationally, various problems have arisen.
Xiao Yong said with a smile: "There is no way around this. We must make the audience accustomed to failure. Domestic boxers also need stronger opponents. If they don't fight against strong opponents, how can they realize their own shortcomings? Temporary fluctuations in ratings
, is what we have to endure! I plan to contact Kevin Lee recently and invite him to our game!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Lele was stunned!
"Will that guy come?" Yang Lele was a little curious. After all, Kevin Lee is considered a UFC star, can he come to the Tenglong finals?
Xiao Yong laughed and said: "Last night, UFC announced that it had terminated his contract. That guy is unemployed! So I plan to invite him here."
Yang Lele thought for a while and said: "If he comes, he will be able to create a lot of topics, and he will still be defeated by you. Even if he beats a domestic boxer, everyone will be more accepting of it."
Everyone, please go and try it soon.】
This is the only benefit.
Kevin Li played against Xiao Yong, and he lost to Xiao Yong.
In this case, even if he wins consecutively in China, the excitement to the audience will be less. After all, many domestic audiences are basically supporters of Xiao Yong. Even if Kevin Li wins, it will only highlight Xiao Yong's strength.
Awesome!
Pretty Country, Kevin Lee simply doesn’t know how to describe his feelings.
He was terminated by UFC!
Even before the contract was terminated, Dana White didn't even give him a call!
Obviously, he was kicked out of the UFC.
For him, this was a bolt from the blue!
Just when he was at a loss, suddenly, the phone rang!
I picked up the phone and heard a rough voice coming from the other side: "Hi, Kevin, I heard that you were kicked out of UFC by Dana White. Are you interested in coming to compete with our EFC? I will give you a good contract!"
"
This call was not made by Xiao Yong, but by Habib!
Khabib retires!
I retired with some regrets.
In his career, he has twenty-eight wins and one loss, and the only loss was against Xiao Yong.
After retiring, this guy spent one million US dollars to acquire their local brand GFC, renamed it EFC, became the boss himself, and ran the event!
In fact, for these events, they need some famous players!
UFC is undoubtedly one of the most influential mixed martial arts events in the world.
In this case, recruiting some famous UFC players, even if they are old and not at their peak, will also improve the local competition!
So Khabib set his sights on Kevin Lee!
These days, Khabib has invited many famous players to join him!
Including former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao and former UFC flyweight title challenger Ray Berg!
Inviting these famous players who have been terminated by UFC to their own leagues can, on the one hand, increase the attention and reputation of the game. On the other hand, it can improve the level of the competition! It can better hone the technical level of the players!
Compared with them, Kevin Lee has one of the biggest differences!
That is Kevin Lee younger!
Only 28 years old! Still in peak physical condition!
So Khabib still attaches great importance to Kevin Lee.
Kevin Lee fell into silence, and Khabib continued: "You have terminated your contract now, don't you need a new job? I can promise that your salary in EFC will be higher than your salary in UFC! I can give it to you
The appearance fee is US$200,000 per game!”
For Khabib, he needs boxers and needs to expand the influence of the event!
Although a boxer like Kevin Lee has been terminated by the UFC, he is still very marketable.
Including OOR (the second largest MMA event in the beautiful country), they will all give him an olive branch.
So he gave a very high price!
This price can indeed be called very high, because even if Kevin Lee joins other competitions, it will only be slightly improved at best.
His original appearance fee was about 100,000 US dollars, but once he joined EFC, it would be almost twice as much!
"Let me think about it!" Kevin Li did not agree immediately.
When looking for a job, he also plans to shop around. What if oor gives him a higher salary?
This is something no one can say for sure.
Habib smiled and said: "Kevin, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible! I also hope to start a business with you! No one else will give you this price under any circumstances."
"Okay, I will get back to you as soon as possible."
Kevin Lee's answer to Khabib is actually very simple. He just wants to ask if he is interested in other events and how much appearance fee he can give.
Soon, after some questioning, Kevin Li got the answer.
Both tournaments have the idea of recruiting him, and one is willing to give him a single appearance fee of 140,000 US dollars.
There are relatively few Tor, only those who are willing to keep synchronized are 100,000 US dollars!
In fact, even if One pays an extra $40,000, if there are only two companies to choose from, Tor will have greater influence in the local area after all.
But now with Habib's EFC, it's different!
He has never received a single appearance fee of 200,000 US dollars in his career.
So Kevin Li completely fell in love with efc!
Kevin Lee had just made his decision when his phone rang again.
I took it out and saw that it was Xiao Yong!
You know, since Kevin Lee left Shanhe Boxing Gym, there has been no contact between the two.
In fact, he was also very confused inside. He lost consecutive games, which further proved how correct the advice Xiao Yong gave him was.
But there is no regret medicine in the world.
Shaking his head, Kevin Li shook the unnecessary thoughts out of his mind, adjusted his mood, and answered Xiao Yong's call: "Xiao, is there something wrong?"
"Haha, of course, I saw the information on the UFC official website. This guy Dana White is simply too much! It just so happens that our Chinese MMA Dragon Finals are about to happen, and they want to invite you to join. What do you think?"
Kevin Lee said truthfully: "Xiao, I'm afraid it won't work. Khabib has already approached me. His EFC has offered me very generous terms. I plan to join them. I'm really sorry!"
He doesn't think China's competitions can afford him an appearance fee.
When I was training in China, there were many people in Shanhe Boxing Gym who were Tenglongjue players.
Kevin Li also knows something about salary and benefits.
The appearance fee is relatively low. The highest boxer only pays about 100,000 RMB, which is less than 20,000 USD when converted into US dollars!
How could such an event offer more favorable conditions than Habib's?
Xiao Yong frowned, Habib?
The guy invited Kevin Lee?
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yong smiled and said, "Can I hear how much appearance fee Habib gave you?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars per game!"
After hearing this number, Xiao Yong did a little calculation, and it was almost the same as the number he wanted to give at the beginning!
In fact, Xiao Yong also plans to pay Kevin Li an appearance fee of approximately this amount. After being in this industry for so long, Xiao Yong still knows the approximate market conditions.
Originally, he thought that this price would impress Kevin Li, but now it seems that there is a competitor!
Xiao Yong rolled his eyes and laughed: "Haha, you underestimate our Chinese competition. They gave you a price of US$270,000 per game! Do you really not think about it?"
Xiao Yong directly raised the price by 70,000 US dollars!
To rob people, you will naturally have to spend money. The money you invest now is to earn back better in the future.
Hum hum, little Khabib, you can’t beat me on the court, and you can’t beat me even if I’m rich!
Xiao Yong secretly mocked, this is true. When it comes to the ability of both parties to attract money, Xiao Yong even beat Khabib!
Of course, Xiao Yong didn’t spend money in vain.
Looking around the world, the market for mixed martial arts is still huge.
This can be seen from UFC’s ppv sales.
No less than a boxing event!
It's just that now, only UFC has the best brand management and the strongest fighters, and there is no competition that can compete.
If we can really create the same top-level event, we will definitely make a lot of money!
But building a top-level event certainly cannot happen overnight.
We need to improve our overall level little by little and build our reputation little by little.
Upfront investment is essential!
Kevin Li was stunned. He didn't expect that the price given by the other party was so high!
Just listen to Xiao Yong continue to talk to Kevin Li: "Kevin, how many spectators can there be in EFC matches? But in China, there are millions of spectators in Tenglong Jue, which is a great contribution to improving reputation and commercial value.
It’s good, traffic is money, you don’t understand such a simple truth, right?”
"It is now the early stage of the development of the competition, so you can enjoy the dividends. If you join efc, when you want to come back, people may not be willing to give you this number!"
Kevin Lee was speechless. When he first received the news of UFC's contract termination, he actually felt very sad inside.
But now it seems that maybe this is an opportunity!
But he was very concerned about one issue.
"Xiao, what does this Tenglong Jue have to do with you?" Kevin Li asked this question.
In any case, the fact that Xiao Yong can make this call proves that Xiao Yong has an unusual relationship with this tournament!
Naturally, Xiao Yong would not tell him, but smiled and said: "A friend of mine has some shares, and he asked me to ask you!"
In fact, Xiao Yong is no longer as worried about this matter as he was at the beginning.
Because with his current fame and strength, even if Dana knows that Xiao Yong is the actual controller of Tenglong Jue, so what? As long as Xiao Yong doesn't blatantly poach people, Dana Bai will still turn a blind eye.
Close one eye.
Now Xiao Yong can earn too much money from a game!
Xiao Yong is Dana White’s biggest cash cow!
Xiao Yong knows this very well, but there is no need to tell Kevin Li that it is better to do less than to do more!
At least now, Xiao Yong doesn't want to show off directly!
Kevin Lee said: "Well, I need to think about it!"
Consider, it is necessary to consider.
The only person to consider is not Kevin Lee, but Khabib!
"What? Two hundred and seventy thousand US dollars!?" Habib went crazy when he heard this number!
What a joke!
His voice was full of seriousness and he said to Kevin Li: "Kevin, I don't know what they think about this Chinese event you are talking about. I can only increase your bet to 220,000 US dollars at most. Any more will be
Impossible! If you are willing, we will sign the contract. If you are not willing, there is nothing we can do."
Khabib was very suspicious whether Kevin Lee was deliberately raising money to deceive him.
This behavior is not impossible!
Khabib actually knows a little bit about Chinese fighting.
In his opinion, China's fighting industry is very backward, and even the top boxing champions don't have much appearance fees.
But compared to ordinary Asian events, the appearance fee is still pretty good.
But no matter what, it is impossible to offer Kevin Lee a price of US$270,000.
In order to show his sincerity, Habib still increased the price by another 20,000 US dollars!
Kevin Lee was a little disappointed.
Obviously, Khabib does not intend to offer him a higher salary.
For Kevin Li now, the dream is gone!
All he wants to chase is money!
If you can't stand at the top of UFC, it will be useless no matter how many wins you win in other competitions.
"Sorry, Habib, then I have no choice but to agree to Tenglong Jue's invitation!"
Huaxia, Xiao Yong's home, Xiao Yong hung up the phone call from Kevin Li, and the other party agreed to sign the contract!
He looked at Yang Lele with a melancholy look on his face and said, "I didn't expect that Habib suddenly appeared and it cost more than expected."
Yang Lele was also speechless: "The price you set is really too high. If word gets out, others will definitely think we are being taken advantage of!"
Xiao Yong said with a smile: "Let's just take advantage of someone who has been taken advantage of. It's like buying a horse bone with a thousand pieces of gold. We also have to let others see our sincerity. In this way, many more boxers will be willing to contact us, and we can also introduce more capable boxers."
Players! Only in this way can the overall level of the competition be raised!"
Yang Lele nodded.
Xiao Yong thought for a while and then said: "How was the recent competition in the youth group?"
Xiao Yong also attaches great importance to this area. Xiao Yong selects some talented children from schools he donates to in various places. They will also be sent to participate in competitions, and their food and accommodation are paid for by the schools.
