He knows that the biggest difference between Xiao Yong and Connor now is that Xiao Yong really has the ability to switch to boxing.
If Xiao Yong, who defeated Mayweather, wants to box, there are plenty of matches that can be arranged!
Even Alvarez, the most valuable person in the boxing world today, will never refuse a match with Xiao Yong.
If he wants Xiao Yong to continue competing in the UFC, then he must satisfy Xiao Yong.
Dana Bai picked up the data report on the table!
For the match between Xiao Yong and Oliveira, PPV sales reached 2.6 million copies!
This sales volume has exceeded the 2.4 million copies of the game between Connor and Kitty Hawk!
In other words, in the absence of any other top players, this is the first time that Xiao Yong has set a PPV sales record with his own popularity!
In previous games, whether it was Conor or Khabib, both sides were extremely popular and topical players, even Mayweather!
Therefore, although the PPV sales volume is terrifying, it is difficult to distinguish how much of the credit belongs to Xiao Yong!

But in this game, Oliveira's own popularity is not low, but it is much worse than those top players.
At this time, we can see Xiao Yong’s own box office appeal ability!
This sales share definitely makes Dana Bai extremely satisfied!
For this match, UFC earned US$80 million in PPV revenue alone!
And that’s not all the revenue, there are also tickets and China’s game revenue!
Since the price increase for the last match between Xiao Yong and Khabib, Dana White has tasted the benefits.
For this game, Xiao Yong’s unit price in China was 29.9 yuan.
And the number of people paying is also ridiculously high!
For one game, UFC's total revenue is more than 100 million U.S. dollars!
No boxer can have such a terrifying ability to attract money as Xiao Yong!
Even Conor McGregor can't do it!
Looking at these data, Dana Bai sighed.
He picked up the phone and called Covington!
The call was connected, and Covington immediately heard Dana White's gloomy voice: "Covington, I'm officially warning you not to attack Xiao Yong's family again, nor to engage in racial discrimination or geographical attacks. If you continue
There will be a next time! I will kick you out of the UFC! This time you attack Xiao Yong’s family, I will fine you half a million dollars! It will be deducted from your appearance fee for the next game!”
Dana White still made a choice!
But he also made some compromises and deducted Covington's appearance fee, which actually saved Covington a lot of money!
To put it simply, if it is to pay a fine, then Covington will need to shell out half a million dollars!
But after deducting the appearance fee, for Covington, nearly half of this money is subject to tax, so the actual expenditure is not that much!
But even so, Covington is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on!
"Dana, what the hell are you talking about! You want to deduct half a million dollars from my appearance fee? Are you crazy!"
Covington is heartbroken!
For him, this money is definitely a lot of money!
"I'm not crazy. Remember, if it happens again, I will definitely terminate the contract with you!"
Dana White gave his maximum warning!
This is also his best way to control Covington!
In fact, Covington's appearance fee is half a million US dollars, which is a figure that is difficult to afford in other events.
At present, except for UFC, the revenue of other mixed martial arts events is not so ideal.
Especially when it comes to PPV sales.
Although Covington has appeal, it is not necessarily that strong. To a large extent, he is a player who relies more on the UFC platform than his own fame.
He is not someone like Connor or Xiao Yong who already has a lot of fans.
Therefore, he will speak loudly and openly to criticize others to increase his popularity.
But there is absolutely no way he will leave the UFC!
Dana White hung up the phone, and UFC soon issued an announcement!
"Because of Covington's inappropriate remarks, UFC officials decided to fine him half a million dollars! It will be deducted from the appearance fee of the next game, and new rules will be introduced to prohibit insults and ridicule of players' families, countries, and religions!"
As soon as the UFC official announcement came out, Xiao Yong also made a statement: "I will not accept a match with Covington at any time. With Usman, I don't need to fight him to prove anything. Anyone who speaks inappropriately towards my family and country
Everyone will be excluded from my battle list!"
Xiao Yong's words dealt a heavy blow to Covington!
In the final analysis, the reason why Covington attacked Xiao Yong was because he wanted to kill Xiao Yong before Usman.
In this case, he can make great profits!
But no one expected that this would happen!
Covington directly complained to Dana White and Xiao Yong: "That's ridiculous! Dana will only lick Xiao Yong's ass, he is Xiao Yong's slave! He actually punished me because of Xiao Yong, even because of Xiao Yong
Xiao Yong has introduced new rules! His behavior will cause heavy losses to the UFC! Xiao Yong is a coward, he simply does not dare to accept a match with me!"
Although he was complaining, he did not mention Xiao Yong's family this time!
He dare not disobey Dana Bai's warning!
He knew very well that if he sprayed Dana White, he would be fine!
But if you criticize Xiao Yong and don’t bring your family with you, nothing will happen!
Everyone can see this time that Dana Bai took advantage of this new rule just for Xiao Yong.
Because before this, insults to players’ families, players’ countries, and players’ religious beliefs were not uncommon!
Many things were done too much.
Middleweight Michael Bisping provoked Romero into tearing a paper Cuban flag in front of him.
Romero also responded by burning the Eagle Nation flag during a live broadcast.
Conor's team attacked Khabib's father and made fun of Khabib's religious beliefs.
Covington blasted Dustin Poirier's family. After defeating Maya, he said: "The Samba people are all low-grade, dirty animals!" Such excessive remarks. Covington became famous from then on.
, becoming the public enemy of all Samba people.
None of the above actions go unpunished!
But this time, because of Xiao Yong, Covington received unprecedented severe punishment.
And there are also new regulations!
This shows Xiao Yong’s current status and influence in the UFC!
But having said that, although Xiao Yong's handling method is very tough, it is in the best interest of him and has the best effect!
Because if Xiao Yong confronts him or plays a game with him, even if this guy is beaten up by Xiao Yong, he will still get a lot of money!
No matter what, it is of great benefit.
And once such a result occurs, all the players who want to compete with Xiao Yong will follow the same example and go crazy to insult Xiao Yong's family.
But now, all those who wanted to fight Xiao Yong have given up such thoughts!
What a lesson for Covington!
A direct fine of half a million US dollars!
The severe punishment shows the official attitude of the UFC. Regardless of whether Xiao Yong is a privileged player or not, as long as he still wants to hang out in the UFC, if he is embarrassed to criticize Xiao Yong’s family, then he will lose a lot of money!
And there will be no chance to compete with Xiao Yong!
Xiao Yong himself does not intend to end it here!
Ameri Boxing Gym, referred to as ATT Boxing Gym!
It is a very famous MMA boxing gym in the beautiful country. There are many famous professional boxers here!
The former junior champion Woodley! The king of street fighting Masvidal, the well-known Joanna, and of course, Covington is included here!
Standing in front of the boxing gym, Xiao Yong looked serious!
Today, there is no other purpose.
Covington, isn’t he awesome?
Don't you want to fight?
Then come and fight!
On the field, I don’t want to fight him because I don’t want this bastard to make money, and I also don’t want other players to imitate him!
But off the field, Xiao Yong is not going to let this guy go!
Xiao Yong directly entered the ATT boxing gym!
"Where's Covington, tell him to get out of here!"
As Xiao Yong roared, he attracted everyone's attention!
When everyone saw Xiao Yong, they were immediately confused.
No one expected that this guy would come directly from offline!
Covington was training in the boxing gym at this time. When he heard that Xiao Yong was coming, the guy was stunned at first, and then ecstatic!
In his opinion, Xiao Yong was sent to his door to be beaten!
Covington rushed out, looked at Xiao Yong and laughed wildly: "You coward! How dare you come to ATT?"
Xiao Yong looked at Covington calmly and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm here today not to talk nonsense to you. Do you dare to enter the cage and have a fight? If you don't dare, just kneel down and admit your mistake!"
"Just hit!"
Covington knows very well that this is also an opportunity. As long as he defeats Xiao Yong, his popularity will definitely increase!
At this time, the other contestants were already excited!
They started live streaming one after another!
As for the people who can help Covington, there are basically no people!
In fact, both Joanna and Masvidal have recently expressed their dissatisfaction with Covington!
This guy is definitely not a good person in life.
Xiao Yong simply took off his clothes without saying anything!
At this moment, Covington suddenly said: "Coward, is it possible to have a game with full rules without gloves?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yong was stunned!
If you don't wear gloves, the injuries from both sides' fists will be extremely serious!
"Let's fight! But let's sign a liability exemption agreement first! No matter what kind of injury you get, you will be responsible for it!"
Xiao Yong is not stupid either. Both parties entered the iron cage with boxing gloves, and Xiao Yong could still control the effect. But without boxing gloves, Xiao Yong was not sure what kind of damage it would cause to his opponent!
Xiao Yong doesn’t want to cause trouble!
The two signed an agreement and then entered the Octagon!
On the beautiful country's live broadcast platform, several players' live broadcast rooms have already attracted a large number of viewers!
"Wow, Xiao Yong is so cruel! I came to him directly offline!"
"Both sides are doing bare-knuckle boxing! That would be fun!"
"Have you signed a liability exemption agreement?"
"Covington is so brave. He dares to fight this kind of rule with Xiao Yong?"
"Xiao Yong's street fighting ability...will Covington really not be beaten to death?"
Covington doesn't care about Xiao Yong's so-called street fighting ability!
In his opinion, it was just because his opponent was not strong enough!
For example, Masvidal is known as Street Fighter Jesus, but he doesn't think Masvidal has the ability to threaten him at all.
In bare boxing, it will be easier for him to take advantage of his weight!
Because without the gloves, the blowing power of the fists will be stronger!
The heavier he is, the more likely his punches will cause damage!
This is why Mayweather hopes Xiao Yong uses ten-ounce gloves when he competes with Xiao Yong.
Because thick gloves will weaken the player's punching power, and to some extent, weaken the advantage of heavier players!
But Xiao Yong is not afraid!
He is equally confident in himself!
The rules are all open, that is, there are no forbidden areas!
Both parties entered the Octagon, both wearing only a pair of shorts!
It can be clearly seen that Covington's figure is bigger than Xiao Yong!
After all, Xiao Yong has not yet completed weight gain. He is not yet a welterweight player, and most players often weigh more when they are not competing than when they are competing!
Masvidal served as the referee on the sidelines. He shouted into the cage: "The game begins!"
Xiao Yong and Covington slowly approached, but Xiao Yong still maintained a slight shaking motion!
Suddenly, Covington rushed forward and punched Xiao Yong in the face with his right hand!
His speed was extremely fast this time! But Xiao Yong's reaction was also very fast. He retreated quickly, and Covington's fist fell instantly!
A smile appeared on Covington's lips and he said: "What, you just know how to hide? Don't run, aren't you coming to beat me?"
Xiao Yong pressed forward again without any impatience!
In the state of complete bare boxing, and the opponent is a professional boxer, the consequences of receiving a punch are very serious!
Judging from just now, Xiao Yong has already made a judgment that his wingspan is longer than Covington!
Covington is 180cm tall and has a wingspan of only 183cm. Compared with Xiao Yong, he is nearly ten centimeters shorter!
Xiao Yong approached Covington again and hit him with a jab!
"boom!"
Xiao Yong’s fist hit Covington’s face!
Covington suddenly felt pain!
Without gloves, even the jab with the left hand is very painful!
Covington hit another hard backhand punch, but Xiao Yong jumped away again!
He controls distance very accurately!
Covington quickly stepped forward to pursue him, but at this moment, Xiao Yong had already made a move!
"Snapped!"
Kicked Covington directly on the knee!
Kick the knee!
Accurate hit!
Covington's standing skills are simply not good enough in front of Xiao Yong!
He is a soft-wrestling fighter who mainly focuses on hugging and suppressing!
In terms of standing, he was not outstanding. After the fight actually started, Covington discovered that the heavy punch he imagined hitting Xiao Yong's face did not exist at all.
Xiao Yong used his excellent and agile steps, longer wingspan, and restrictive striking skills to completely stop his charge!
A kick to the knee hit Covington's movements!
At the same time, Xiao Yong suddenly hit him with a heavy punch from behind!
"boom!"
Covington didn't dodge, and Xiao Yong's fist hit Covington hard on the cheek!
In an instant, the strong friction caused a gash on Covington's face!
Before this match, both sides did not apply any lubricating Vaseline.
The strong friction brought about by Xiao Yong's violent power and the collision of bones directly opened a large gash on Covington's cheekbone!
Blood flowed out instantly!
Coving gritted his teeth, lowered his head and rushed towards Xiao Yong!
In an instant, Covington hugged Xiao Yong's waist!
Covington's ability to resist fighting is very strong. His jaw was broken by Usman, but he was never knocked out by KO, which shows his terrifying ability to resist fighting!
He rushed forward and hugged Xiao Yong directly around the waist.
Covington suddenly exerted his strength, and he forcibly lifted Xiao Yong off the ground and threw him heavily to the ground!
His weight advantage allows him to perform this kind of action easily.
"boom!"
Xiao Yong was thrown to the ground!
But the moment he fell to the ground, Xiao Yong exposed Covington's neck with his hands!
Covington wanted to get up and straddle Xiao Yong, but Xiao Yong made a move that he didn't expect at all!
I saw Xiao Yong using both hands to pull Covington's head as close as possible, and then suddenly raised his head!
A headbutt hit Covington in the face!
"boom!"
Xiao Yong's forehead hit Covington hard on the bridge of his nose!
Severe pain swept both sides at the same time!
But there is no doubt that Covington is at a greater disadvantage!
Nosebleeds instantly flowed from his nose!
This kind of action is definitely not allowed in the UFC, but before the game, this bastard has already said that there will be no rules and all rules will be relaxed. Then Xiao Yong's moves are completely reasonable and legal!
Covington, who was in pain, was lifted off the bridge by Xiao Yong and knocked directly to the ground. Xiao Yong also took advantage of the momentum and pounced on him. Xiao Yong suppressed him to the ground!
At this moment, Xiao Yong felt Covington's hand grabbing down his crotch!
Monkey steals peach!
"grass!"
Xiao Yong cursed secretly and dodged directly!
If he is caught, it will really be over, and Covington will take the opportunity to stand up!
The two sides fought against each other, and Covington suffered a huge loss, which was extremely miserable.
His face is covered in blood!
At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast was already excited!
"Isn't this prettier than UFC? You'll see blood in just one minute!"
"Covington, can you kill this Chinese?"
"Xiao, you are the strongest, kill this foul-mouthed guy!"
"I like Xiao Yong's character so much! If you go to NM, if you dare to scold my family, I will fuck you!"
Xiao Yong on the field has pressed forward again!
Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Covington suffered continuous heavy blows, which was also uncomfortable!
Seeing Xiao Yong approaching, he became short again and continued to choose to hug Xiao Yong!
He didn't dare to stand up with Xiao Yong anymore!
But this time, Xiao Yong reacted, quickly moved his legs back, pressed his weight forward, and directly hugged Covington!
Covington and Xiao Yong were entangled and hugged each other. The two sides slowly stood upright in the center of the field. Xiao Yong firmly controlled Covington's hands with his hands! At this moment, Xiao Yong suddenly hit his knee!
A direct attack on Covington’s crotch!
"Snapped!"
Covington's face suddenly turned from white to red, and his right side turned from red to green!
A miserable howl came from his mouth!
Although the distance between the two is extremely close, and the power of Xiao Yong's knee strike is not too great, the position of the strike is really terrible!
His body went limp instantly!
Xiao Yong knocked him down directly, sat on him, and punched Covington on the head!
"Bang bang bang!"
Covington has completely lost his ability to resist!
But Xiao Yong just wanted to beat him!
After a few rounds, Covington's brow bone and face were covered with blood!
The boxing gym players immediately rushed into the octagonal cage and pulled Xiao Yong away!
