When Xiao Yong's words were reported by the media, everyone suddenly realized that this man's arrogance was very reasonable.
Yes, he is already the triple champion of UFC and has done something unprecedented.
Why shouldn't some top-ranked players be considered not strong enough?
Irrefutable confidence!
And you must know that Xiao Yong is not only a triple crown champion, whether he is in the lightweight or welterweight division.
He has completed some title defense battles and defeated almost all the top players at the same level.
This makes every championship of Xiao Yong full of gold.
So after Xiao Yong said these words, Xiao Yong's fans became more confident in facing those doubters!
"Haha, Xiao Yong is crazy? A Triple Crown winner, shouldn't he be crazy? I can win the Triple Crown. Do you believe it or not that I will shit on Dana White's head?"
"Impossible? You thought it was impossible before winning the Triple Crown, but Xiao Yong did it."
"Pereira is very strong, but he just hasn't met Xiao Yong!"
"Who is Xiao Yong now? The number one fighter in the world should be so crazy! What's more, if we really can't compete within nine days, don't we have backup players?"
"Pereira is a kickboxing master. Xiao Yong defeated Sitichai, who is also the world's number one in kickboxing. According to the rules of kickboxing, Pereira may win, but mma, I'm sorry, I really think Xiao Yong
Yong can easily win."
Now, when Xiao Yong shouts the slogan of being the best fighter in the world, no one can refute him.
No matter who it is, everyone has to admit that Xiao Yong is now the most popular fighter in the world's fighting circle and has the highest appearance fees.
As for the accumulation of honors, he is a three-level UFC champion, defeating the kickboxing 70kg champion Sitichai, defeating Mayweather, and defeating the current super middleweight unified boxing champion Alvarez of the four major boxing organizations.
No matter from which level you look at it, Xiao Yong is already the greatest boxer of his generation, bar none!
The competition was finalized and Xiao Yong returned to China.
Start training and prepare for war.
Because in the match between Xiao Yong and Heilong, he did not suffer any injuries.
Plus Xiao Yong didn't want to waste too long.
So just forty-five days after beating Adesanya, Xiao Yong played against Pereira.
It started in the beautiful country of Las Vegas.
Before the game, both sides spat some trash talk as usual, which was also routine.
Pereira himself is not a person with an overly flamboyant personality, so he doesn't seem to be angry.
But no one knew that Pereira was holding a ball of anger in his heart!
During the weight loss stage, Pereira and his team carried out an almost crazy weight loss.
The purpose is to fight for the slightest chance of victory.
Even though everyone thinks he can't win, Pereira doesn't think so.
For him, as long as he stands in the ring, he has a chance.
But even so, Pereira was still overweight at the weighing ceremony, but after undergoing a second weight loss, Pereira reached the target weight!
Pre-match preparations for the match between Xiao Yong and Pereira are officially over!
The game venue was still packed with seats.
Now Xiao Yong's competition is simply hard to get a vote for.
There are too many people who want to see Xiao Yong's performance live.
It is human nature to worship the strong.
Since the UFC gradually became regularized, there is no one who can achieve the level of dominance like Xiao Yong!
Xiao Yong still maintains a record of complete wins and complete finishes.
No one can complete five rounds under Xiao Yong.
People who like Xiao Yong want to see Xiao Yong continue to win, continue to make history and create records.
People who don’t like Xiao Yong want to see Xiao Yong fail!
See Xiao Yong was terminated!
Sometimes it's like this, whether you like it or not, you will go to a boxing match.
I hope that while the people I like win, I can also see the people I don’t like lose the game!
Is there anyone who hates Xiao Yong?
have!
And a lot!
As the saying goes, there are as many people who hate you as there are people who love you.
There are many people in Bangzi Country, Island Country, and Samba Country who don’t like Xiao Yong.
Needless to say the first two, Xiao Yong is basically a public enemy there.
The Samba country is because Xiao Yong defeated Oliveira before and also helped Makhachev prepare for the competition, allowing Makhachev to win the championship. This is the first, and the second is that Pereira is also a Samba country.
Of course they won't like Xiao Yong!
When this game is held, countless spectators around the world are looking forward to it.
Some people expect Xiao Yong to create new history, while others hope to see Xiao Yong make a fool of himself.
There is no doubt about it.
At this time, Xiao Yong is the most watched person in the world!
At the game, after Pereira appeared on the stage, all the audience started chanting Xiao Yong's name!
Baffo also roared passionately: "Next, the first triple crown winner in UFC history! The Chinese Yanluo Xiao Yong who maintains a terrifying record of complete victories and complete endings in his career."
As the entrance music plays.
Xiao Yong walked out of the player tunnel.
He has a serious face!
Even though Xiao Yong does not regard Pereira as a threat, he will not underestimate his opponent on the court!
The two sides entered the field, Xiao Yong and Pereira stood together.
Pereira was one centimeter taller than Adesanya and looked at Xiao Yong condescendingly.
Xiao Yong suddenly spoke: "I heard that you don't like MMA. You came to UFC just to defeat Adesanya. I can tell you that the reason why you achieved results is because there are very few masters at this level, including Adesanya."
The same is true. Today I will let you know the gap between you and a real master. In one minute, I will surrender you here!"
Xiao Yong has no intention of fighting with Pereira.
Pereira's face is extremely serious!
He couldn't tell whether Xiao Yong was telling the truth or putting pressure on him.
After all, in the last game, everyone thought Xiao Yong would choose the ground, but Xiao Yong used a move to feint and win the game!
Finally, the game officially started, and the two sides slowly approached!
Suddenly, Xiao Yong moved!
Diving and hugging!
It’s really a dive and a throw!
No fake moves!
Xiao Yong's tactics in this game are very simple: hug Pereira and knock him down!
Too fast!
Pereira never expected that Xiao Yong would rush forward so fast.
He went through countless training sessions before the competition.
But even the top jiu-jitsu sparring partners can't rush forward as fast as Xiao Yong!
Xiao Yong's body has experienced countless system strengthening and countless nights of crazy training.
Explosive power, speed, strength, and endurance are all at the top level in the world.
His forward speed is simply not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Even if he is a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, can he physically compete with Xiao Yong?
Although Pereira had undergone intensive anti-fall training, he still did not react when facing Xiao Yong.
Xiao Yong hugged his thigh instantly!
"ah!"
As Xiao Yong roared, Pereira was pulled up by Xiao Yong!
"Bang!"
Pereira was knocked to the ground!
The game is over!
Yes, the moment Pereira was knocked down, there was no suspense in the game!
When the game reached 21 seconds, Xiao Yong got the advantage and made a direct cross!
Pereira was surrendered on the spot!
"The gap is too big. I have to admit that although Pereira has reached the top three positions in the middleweight class, his weaknesses are too obvious when facing Xiao Yong."
Smith smiled and said: "We also want to congratulate Xiao Yong. He ended the game in only 21 seconds. This was a crushing game! There is no suspense."
In the center of the field, Xiao Yong let go of Pereira's hand!
Pereira looked numb.
He thought he would lose this game, but he never thought the gap would be so big!
To be honest, Pereira was extremely unconvinced!
As a champion of multiple kickboxing events and the world's top stand-up expert, how could he be happy if he lost the game like this?
"Damn it, how could I lose the game so easily if I played standing?" Pereira clenched his fists.
But the game is like this, there are no ifs!
He stared at Xiao Yong, and suddenly he walked up to Xiao Yong and gritted his teeth and said: "Do you dare to have a stand-up match with me? This damn mma is not what I am good at!"
Not convinced, Pereira is really not convinced!
Xiao Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Pereira in front of him, and suddenly asked: "Does your contract with UFC allow you to play other games?"
"I can retire from UFC at any time! And UFC can't restrict me from participating in kickboxing competitions!"
Pereira signed a contract with UFC, and there are still favorable terms for him.
Xiao Yong whispered in Pereira's ear: "When I finish beating Whittaker, if possible, I will give you a chance to compete in kickboxing!"
Xiao Yong had an idea.
He wants to leave the standing match between him and Pereira to Teng Longjue to run it!
During this period, Tenglong Jue has always been at a loss. Although the domestic players have been tempered and the international attention of the event has also increased, it is still not enough!
If such a competition can be successfully run, the attention and influence of Tenglong Jue will be greatly improved.
And the funds obtained are enough to operate Tenglong Jue for many years!
Anyway, the two of them were playing kickboxing!
There is no conflict with the UFC contract.
Although there was no kickboxing event before Tenglong Jue, no one stipulated that it could not be held if it had not been held before.
As long as it's not an MMA event and Xiao Yong doesn't sign a long-term competition contract, Dana White has nothing to do with Xiao Yong.
At this time, no one knew that just now, the two of them had reached such a preliminary intention.
At this time, Dana White also entered the Octagon, and Pereira and Xiao Yong made a tacit agreement not to mention the matter.
As Xiao Yong's right hand was raised by the referee, Dana Bai put the gold belt on Xiao Yong.
This game ended with Xiao Yong's crushing victory.
This result can only be said to be reasonable but unexpected.
Xiao Yong defeated Pereira. Everyone could have guessed the result, but no one expected it to be so easy. It was a complete crushing.
In the end, Pereira lost the game without even throwing a punch!
After the game, Xiao Yong contacted Yang Lele immediately and mentioned Pereira to her!
"You want me to hold a kickboxing match between you and Pereira?" Yang Lele was a little surprised. After all, the previous Tenglongjue matches were all MMA.
Xiao Yong said solemnly: "That's right! In this case, all the PPV profits belong to us! You only need to go to the beautiful country pay TV channel to negotiate this cooperation, that's it!"
"What about Pereira?"
"Competing with me, he doesn't deserve the ppv share!"
Xiao Yong said it very harshly, but it is reality.
Pereira's status is far different from Xiao Yong's.
Even though he is the kickboxing world champion, compared to Xiao Yong's influence and ppv sales ability, he is simply not good enough.
Yang Lele hung up the phone and immediately booked a flight to the beautiful country!
Xiao Yong contacted De La Hoya again and asked him to help pull the strings.
De La Hoya was actually helpless. When he heard that Xiao Yong wanted Yang Lele to host this kickboxing event, he was actually a little unhappy.
To be honest, holding this kind of competition is a guaranteed profit!
But he didn't dare to tell Xiao Yong, because he also knew that Xiao Yong had given him a lot of face by asking him to host the match between Alvarez and Xiao Yong.
Otherwise, with Xiao Yong's current influence and financial strength, he can set up his own promotion company to host it.
With no other choice, Hoya could only agree.
But he quickly adjusted his mentality.
Because he knew very well that the relationship between the two at this time was no longer what it was before.
Now Xiao Yong's influence has become so powerful that whether he is an agent or an event organizer, everything depends on Xiao Yong's face.
Unless I say, I don’t want to make money from Xiao Yong!
However, who can resist this temptation?
Headquarters of the beautiful country pay TV station.
Yang Lele has been waiting for two hours.
Although she was introduced by Hoya, her relationship with Xiao Yong was not mentioned.
It also didn’t explain what competition it would hold. With Teng Long Jue’s current influence, people really didn’t take this competition to heart.
"Yang, is that you? Come in with me!" A beautiful female secretary led Yang Lele into an office.
In the office, there was a fat white man sitting.
He is already somewhat bald.
"Hello, I heard that you want to purchase our paid broadcast rights, right? I want to know what kind of competition you want to hold?" The other party didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point. He didn't even introduce his name.
"Kickboxing match!"
"What time period do you want to buy the program and how many games do you want to have?"
Yang Lele thought for a while and said: "I just want to buy a time slot for one game!"
The fat white man was stunned. A game?
Generally speaking, the price of purchasing a single game period is quite expensive.
And they are all purchased by promotion companies that hold super large competitions.
Kickboxing is not very popular in beautiful countries!
Teng Long Jue can be called a nameless person.
After thinking for a while, the fat white man said: "For two million dollars, your program can be broadcast on our channel. And we will take a 30% share!"
Yang Lele asked with a weak look: "Can it be cheaper? Our event is small, two million US dollars is a bit too much, and the 30% rake is too high. We can't afford it!"
Fatty thought for a while and said: "Well, you can choose to use 1.5 million U.S. dollars and a 30% commission to buy the rights to a game, or keep the 2 million U.S. dollars and 100% for a single game.
Buy it with a 10/10 share!”
In fact, the ppv model itself is not having a hard time now, although the traditional paid model has a large audience.
But with the rise of many new media platforms, they have also been impacted!
Many times, the programs are played to dissatisfaction. If you can sell one copy, you will make more money.
And in his opinion, the so-called Teng Longjue kickboxing match won't fetch much money!
So he offered an option to lower his share!
The fat man didn't even ask the contestants.
After all, how can such a small-scale company have any big-name stars?
"I choose the second one!"
Yang Lele made the choice almost without hesitation.
