Chapter 243: I am the first UFC Triple Crown Champion
Xiao Yong's violent KO directly ended the game!
Dana White was the first to rush into the octagonal cage, holding up his specially made crown and putting it on Xiao Yong's head!
The flying eagle, dream demon, and black dragon have all become the trophies of Xiao Yong's crown!
It can be said that from today on, Xiao Yong is qualified to compete for the first place in UFC history!
The first UFC triple crown is born!
Continuously won the lightweight, welterweight, and middleweight championships.
Xiao Yong's strength and dominance were completely displayed in front of everyone, and no one could question it.
When Xiao Yong wears a golden belt and crown and raises his fist, everyone must admit that this Chinese man has accomplished something that no boxer has ever done in the world!
"Congratulations, Xiao Yong, you became the first UFC triple crown player, and you fulfilled your pre-match promise and ended the match in the first round. I want to ask you, why did you not take offense when you came up?
"Bafo asked Xiao Yong.
Xiao Yong smiled and explained: "Because I know very well what Adesanya's weaknesses are, and he himself knows it very well.
But I have to admit that this guy's fall protection is still quite good. If I throw him rashly, I might waste my energy in vain, so I decided on a strategy from the beginning.
I used feints and pressure to make him move continuously and make him highly nervous. When I repeatedly feinted with small movements, a particularly large movement suddenly appeared. When Adi was very nervous,
It is very possible that Saya made a mistake in judgment, but as you can see, I succeeded!"
Very detailed explanation.
Xiao Yong attaches great importance to technical and tactical aspects.
Fighting is a very random thing, but successful tactics can minimize the occurrence of chance.
For example, if Xiao Yong throws him directly, and Adesanya hits a flying knee, the match may be over if he is really hit.
Reducing risk is something all boxers should consider.
Why does Mayweather resort to defensive counterattacks?
Just because the risk is small!
Although Xiao Yong doesn't throw many punches, his tactics in this game are still more aggressive than Mayweather's.
Always maintain pressure.
Xiao Yong's pressure and feints during the game were actually all about observing Adesanya's reaction.
If he is really slow to react or makes obvious mistakes, then Xiao Yong may really switch to wrestling.
"So Xiao, who will be your next opponent? Pereira, or Whitton? You said before that there is no opponent for you in the middleweight class, so will you still fight them? In the previous welterweight class
, you fought three opponents, what about middleweight?"
Bafo asked.
"It's three, too. It doesn't matter who it is. It depends on Dana's arrangement. It doesn't matter who I fight. I will win consecutively all the way up and dominate five levels. This is something that will not change!"
The crowd cheered again.
If Xiao Yong had said this when he became the lightweight champion, many people would have disagreed and even ridiculed Xiao Yong for overestimating his abilities.
So now, when Xiao Yong wins the UFC Triple Crown, no one will laugh at him anymore!
Because he really did something that no one else could do.
The domestic audience was extremely excited at this time.
"Awesome, he's so cruel, he can hit anyone the same, come on over here!"
"You are so kingly!"
"666. Xiao Yong is really powerful and terrifying."
"Haha, it's not easy for anyone, that's what I said!"
The game is over.
The media even started reporting crazy!
"Become GOTA! Xiao Yong makes history!"
"UFC's first triple crown champion is born!"
"Chinese Yama sweeps across and fights, who can stop him?"
"Iron-Blooded Ngannou said: I look forward to Xiao Yong's challenge!"
"Tyson: I see my shadow in Xiao Yong, he has unparalleled striking power!"
It can be said that Xiao Yong's most eye-catching punch in this competition was his punch.
Adesanya's ability to resist beating is definitely not weak.
It's not that he has never been knocked out by others, but it usually happens in the second half of the game when his physical fitness declines and the effects of a large number of strikes accumulate.
But in this match with Xiao Yong, according to media post-match analysis and interview with Adesanya, Xiao Yong only used one punch!
Just KO Adesanya.
This kind of striking power is extremely terrifying.
At the UFC headquarters, Xiao Yong looked at Dana White in front of him. At this time, Dana White was already smiling from ear to ear.
In this game, Xiao Yong's PPV sales performance was also terrifying.
Because it was him who crowned the Triple Crown, he had a lot of paying users!
A total of 5.4 million PPV copies were sold!
Although slightly lower than his cross-border battle with Alvarez.
But it once again refreshed UFC history.
In one game, both Xiao Yong and Dana White made a lot of money.
"Fight Pereira in the next game. That guy was determined to challenge Adesanya before, but now Adesanya has lost the championship. You can also fight him. He has defeated Adesanya twice and is also a strong player.
opponent!"
"Yeah! No problem!"
Xiao Yong seemed a little absent-minded. Pereira was very strong, but in Xiao Yong's opinion, he was really uninterested.
Similar to Black Dragon, it is also a transition from kickboxing to mixed martial arts.
This guy's ground skills are worse than Black Dragon's.
So in Xiao Yong's opinion, if he wants to beat Pereira, it's really effortless.
"Dana, what do you think would happen if I hit Pereira and Whitaker at the same time in one night?"
Xiao Yong put forward his own ideas.
From Xiao Yong's point of view, that's all.
Pereira was quite strong standing up, but was too weak on the ground, and Whitaker lost to Adesanya twice in a row.
Xiao Yong really doesn't treat these two people as a piece of cake.
Dana Bai was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiao Yong would come up with such a shocking idea.
"Let's fight one fight at a time. If you want to fight two in one night, that's impossible. The UFC won't hold this kind of competition." Dana White thought about it carefully and finally rejected Xiao.
A brave suggestion.
This is indeed a gimmick, and it will definitely attract a lot of attention, but the difference in money Xiao Yong earns from one fight now versus two fights is too big.
So Dana White has no intention of executing this idea.
Xiao Yong just said that if it doesn't work, then it won't work.
Coming out of UFC headquarters, Xiao Yong and De La Hoya got in the car.
Hoya felt that Xiao Yong seemed unhappy and asked: "What's wrong? Why do you feel a little lackluster?"
"The thought of wasting two more games really makes me angry! If we follow the normal schedule, it will take at least a year for me to finish beating these two guys!"
After listening to Xiao Yong's words, De La Hoya fell into silence. After a while, he said: "Xiao, I think based on your current career record, you should not be anxious. You just need to play one game at a time. In case you lose,
, the losses could be huge!”
Xiao Yong stared at De La Hoya and said: "I need an opponent! A strong opponent! But whether it is Pereira or Whitaker, I don't think they can pose any threat to me! I will not lose at all!"
Feeling Xiao Yong's inner dissatisfaction, De La Hoya said: "If you really want to beat them two in a row, it's definitely not possible, but there is still a way to save time!"
"Um?"
Xiao Yong was stunned and turned to look at Hoya!
Just listen to De La Hoya laugh and say: "The reason why that guy Dana White is unwilling to hold a game is simply that he doesn't make as much money from one game as he does from two games. But if you tell him, the interval between the two games will be longer."
Within a week or so, he will definitely agree!"
Xiao Yong thought about it carefully and immediately took out his phone and called Dana Bai.
Sure enough, when Xiao Yong proposed to play two games in a row, Dana Bai thought about it carefully and said: "Xiao, if you really want to do this, it's not impossible, but I must remind you that you are facing
, they are all the top players in the world. If you are too seriously injured in the first game, you will not be able to participate in the second game. You must win the game in a very relaxed state to get the seven-day bonus.
Forced rest, only in this way can you have time to compete!"
Generally speaking, boxers will be forced to rest by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after the game is completed.
Players who perform easily and have no major medical problems will receive a minimum mandatory rest of seven days.
But if you take a lot of punches and suffer serious injuries during the game, you may even be forced to take a few months off.
"Xiao, are you sure you want to do this? If you are really forced to take a long break in the first game and are unable to participate in the second game, I think it will not be a good thing for you personally." Bai Dana
Another reminder.
"I am sure!"
"Then nine days! I will arrange the two games two days apart and make it official!"
Dana White was already excited.
No player has ever made such a crazy decision!
At the top level of competition, you only take such a short break.
Especially, it still needs to be announced before the game!
If this competition cannot be held, it will really become a joke.
But since Xiao Yong insisted on doing this, he didn't intend to stop him.
Some people don’t want to see Xiao Yong win consecutively anyway.
So, a week later, with a series of communication and coordination by Dana White, the competition was finalized!
"Xiao Yong will face Pereira in the UFC 286 headline main event, and will face Whittaker in the UFC 287 headline main event! If Xiao Yong is unable to participate in the second event, Jared will replace Xiao Yong!"
When this news came out, it immediately shocked the entire boxing world.
There are only nine days between the two games!
This is a match between top boxers in UFC history, something that has never happened before.
And the most important thing is that it was announced so early.
Obviously, the subtext here is that Xiao Yong can defeat Pereira very easily!
Although Dana White arranged for a reserve player in the second game and paid him full appearance fee.
But no matter what, this game is too crazy.
Everyone was stunned.
"Isn't this too crazy? Pereira defeated Adesanya twice. Even if his ground skills are not good, you can't underestimate him, right? He is also a world champion in kickboxing!"
"Within ten days, he fought with Pereira and Whittaker? Xiao Yong is so cruel!"
"Whether it's losing weight or preparing for a competition, it's very stressful!"
"Can it really be successful?"
In fact, when Xiao Yong faced these two people alone, in the eyes of the outside world, Xiao Yong had a great chance of winning!
To put it bluntly, Whittaker couldn't even defeat the Black Dragon. No one thought he would agree to Xiao Yong. As for Pereira, his technical weaknesses were too obvious.
Xiao Yong himself is also a wrestling athlete.
But now, it's different.
Continuous fighting means that Xiao Yong must lose weight continuously within ten days.
Such an intensive competition arrangement is a great challenge to any athlete's body!
And we must defeat Pereira with a complete victory!
For Pereira and Whittaker.
This kind of schedule actually makes them very angry!
Because the arrangement of this game has clearly placed the two of them in the weak position.
This is something that no top player is willing to admit.
However, on the one hand, it is because Xiao Yong's record is indeed there, and on the other hand, the money given by Bai Da is too much.
In order for the two of them to agree to play in this game, both of them had an appearance fee of three million US dollars!
Dana White is also willing to risk everything.
This price is even worth their usual seven or eight games!
It is precisely because of this income that far exceeds ordinary times.
Only two people will agree to compete.
But when facing the media, the two still expressed their dissatisfaction!
Pereira publicly stated: "I came to UFC just to beat Adesanya again, but that guy lost to Xiao Yong, so I decided to beat Xiao Yong and then beat Adesanya. But I didn't expect it.
What’s more, Xiao Yong didn’t give me enough respect. I hate MMA and I hate Xiao Yong! After defeating him and Adesanya, I will choose to retire!”
Whittaker also said: "I have fought in the middleweight class for many years. Although I lost to Adesanya twice, I don't think Xiao Yong can fight me after ten days of fighting Pereira."
Competition, if he can participate in the competition, I will definitely be able to win. Being dehydrated twice in ten days is a great test for anyone."
Major media also commented on the craziness of these two games.
At this time, Dana White also said in the interview: "Actually, Xiao Yong once asked me if the two of them could be arranged to compete with Xiao Yong on the same day, although I wanted to agree at the time.
, but you know, we need to protect athletes, and I can tell you clearly that that guy Xiao Yong is definitely crazier than you think!"
Various media reports have continued to increase the popularity of the two games.
On the one hand, people are paying attention to whether Xiao Yong can defeat Pereira without any blood and win the game!
On the other hand, everyone is concerned about whether Xiao Yong can still defeat Whittaker if he is dehydrated twice in a short period of time.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
The game that was originally almost unsuspicious in the eyes of the public suddenly became confusing!
And Pereira began to strengthen Jiu-Jitsu and anti-fall training.
And he posted training videos many times.
Pereira is also a Samba native. As long as he wants, he will have the top jiu-jitsu training team.
Xiao Yong also accepted an interview with the media. When asked about the game, Xiao Yong said calmly: "I don't disrespect my opponents, I just don't want to waste my time. You know, there are some things that people don't do if they don't do them."
I will question it, but if I want to unify the five weight classes, I need to fight a lot of games. After the middleweight, there are light heavyweights and heavyweights, so facing some opponents who are not too strong in my opinion,
I need to save some time!"
The reporter asked: "Then why do you think Pereira and Whittaker are not strong enough?"
Xiao Yong raised his lips slightly: "I am the first UFC triple crown champion!"
