The reason why we go to Abu Dhabi to compete is, on the one hand, because the people there are very rich, and on the other hand, it is because Xiao Yong has a relatively good relationship with the Abu Dhabi royal family.
In this case, it is relatively familiar to hold competitions there.
After all, Yang Lele has never held a large-scale competition. If he competes in a relatively familiar place, if something unexpected happens, at least he can find someone familiar to help him.
When the match between Xiao Yong and Pereira was announced.
It immediately attracted a lot of attention!
You know, Xiao Yong has never been involved in this field except for one kickboxing event in One before!
Pereira's kickboxing resume is much better than his MMA record.
He has won the middleweight and light heavyweight championships with Glory Fighting.
Pereira also defeated the famous Simon Marcus!
Win the glory middleweight championship belt!
After that, he defended his title 5 times in a row!
And in September 2019, he won the glory light heavyweight interim championship belt!
Compared with Black Dragon Adesanya, it can be said that he is not on the same level in the field of kickboxing.
The resumes are completely incomparable!
Pereira is the top kickboxer, but Adesanya is not!
And it's not a fluke that he was able to defeat the black dragon Adesanya many times.
So when Xiao Yong and Pereira announced that they were going to have a match under kickboxing rules, everyone was confused.
After all, Pereira is a super strong player in the field of kickboxing, and it is obviously unwise for Xiao Yong to compete with her opponent in a field that he is good at.
People are optimistic about Xiao Yong's victory in the octagonal cage. That's because Xiao Yong's wrestling and ground skills are well known, while Pereira seems very rough in this aspect.
At the same time, people also don't understand why, why does Xiao Yong suddenly want to compete in such a kickboxing event?
From various perspectives, the MMA and boxing markets are not comparable to the kickboxing market at all.
And if you are purely standing, Pereira's height and wingspan are at an absolute advantage!
When Dana Bai heard Xiao Yong's decision, he was a little confused.
He looked at De La Hoya in front of him and frowned: "Xiao didn't say he wanted to play in a cross-border competition before!"
De La Hoya smiled and said: "That guy Pereira was very unconvinced by the loss. Xiao also wants to see his standing level!"
"De La Hoya, you are an unqualified agent. You can't let Xiao Yong run wild. He can easily be defeated by his opponents in this kind of game." Dana White vented his anger on De La Hoya and started to accuse him on the spot.
Anyway, he has long been unhappy with De La Hoya.
De La Hoya said angrily: "Dana, you should know that Xiao Yong is not a person who listens to other people's opinions at all. I am an agent, but I can't influence all his decisions! Now I am just informing you that Xiao Yong will not be arranged for the time being.
Yong’s game! I’m leaving!”
De La Hoya was very angry about Dana White's accusations and did not intend to pay attention to him at all.
But Dana White didn't care about this. He was very unhappy. He continued to bombard Hoya, who turned and walked out the door: "You weak guy, you didn't fulfill your duty, you didn't protect yourself."
Boxer! I’m very disappointed in you!”
De La Hoya had already reached the door, but couldn't help but turned around and said angrily: "If you don't want to get beaten, you'd better shut your mouth. Now Xiao Yong is the number one boxer in the world, which proves that I have done my duty."
, you should still pay attention to those guys in your own competition, they are eagerly hoping that you can give them more appearance fees!"
After saying that, Hoya turned around and left.
The two taunted each other.
After Hoya left, Dana Bai sat back in his seat angrily.
"Damn it, why do you have to fight that damn kickboxing? You'd better lose the game and throw away that damn cross-border challenge right!"
Dana White no longer cares about Xiao Yong's victory or defeat. Even if Xiao Yong loses the game, it will not have a big impact on his worth now.
After all, Xiao Yong's attention is unmatched by any boxer.
Of course, the boxer who wins from Xiao Yong will inevitably become a world-class fighting superstar!
The match between Xiao Yong and Pereira was still in the 84kg category.
In the system space, Xiao Yong looked at Pereira on the ring and fell into deep thought.
He can now directly conduct actual combat training with Pereira.
But Xiao Yong was hesitant.
Because he knew very well that once he had actual combat training with Pereira simulated by this system, he would win easily in the ring.
"Why don't you go up and fight?" D'Amato came over and sat next to Xiao Yong.
"I don't want to lose the fun of the game. Winning a boring victory is very boring to me." Xiao Yong said.
D'Amato smiled slightly: "Yes, you have this magical ability. If you really play dozens of games with him and return to reality, this guy will definitely not be your opponent."
D'Amato patted Xiao Yong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are afraid of failure..."
"Um?"
Xiao Yong was stunned.
He never felt that he was afraid of failure.
D'Amato noticed his doubts and continued: "You are just unwilling to face it. In fact, you are also afraid of failure in your heart. When you become stronger and stronger, your status becomes higher and higher, and your winning streak becomes more and more...
If you have more, you will have an invincible heart, but in essence, you will also fear failure from your heart. This fear of failure is not because of external factors, not because of money, not because of honor, but just because of your strong heart.
Competitive!
This is not a bad thing, but I think that if you are completely utilitarian in order to win, it is not necessary. Life is about taking risks. Choose to challenge, enjoy the process, or choose to win.
A cutscene? I think your heart will tell you the answer!"
After listening to D'Amato's words, Xiao Yong had to admit that he is a very experienced coach.
Maybe he can't give Xiao Yong technical support in kickboxing.
But these remarks also made Xiao Yong make a complete decision.
Pereira on the ring slowly retreated.
Xiao Yong looked at D'Amato and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't like losing, and I will not fail. I will take this desire for victory and defeat him head-on in the ring!"
For Xiao Yong, he doesn't like to play games where he is sure to win.
Just like these three games in the middleweight class, Xiao Yong was really unhappy.
Even if you win, even if you win the championship, even if you get money.
However, this kind of boring competition prevented Xiao Yong from getting any passion from the competition. Xiao Yong hoped to have a fierce battle with his opponents and experience the feeling of winning or losing.
Just like fighting Khabib, just like fighting Alvarez.
That kind of game where the opponent poses a strong threat can make Xiao Yong feel extremely excited and satisfied.
So Xiao Yong finally made his choice.
He wants to face Pereira with dignity and dignity in reality.
Experience the strength of the kickboxing world champion in the field that your opponent is most familiar with!
Soon, Xiao Yong vs. Pereira, the first press conference will be held in China!
You must know that a press conference for a competition of this level has never been held in China before!
But after Xiao Yong and Pereira announced the location of the press conference, media from all over the world came in droves.
This is the benefit brought by Xiao Yong's strong influence.
If he were another boxer, even if he competed with Pereira, he wouldn't get this kind of attention at all.
Xiao Yong is the walking traffic king.
At the press conference, Yang Lele sat in the center, Xiao Yong was on her right, and Pereira was on her left.
As the players from both sides arrived, reporters took photos of the three of them.
Contrary to the expectations of European and American reporters, they also did not expect that the organizer of this competition was actually a woman!
A very beautiful Chinese woman.
Only then did they discover that this game was hosted by the event that had previously signed Kevin Lee and Tony Ferguson.
After taking continuous flash photos, Yang Lele put a smile on his face and said: "Welcome everyone, I am Yang Lele, the president of Tenglong Jue Super Fighting Championship. You may be unfamiliar with me. This event will be hosted by Tenglong Jue.
If you have any questions, you can ask!”
As Yang Lele finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and asked: "Hello, Ms. Yang Lele, I am a reporter from National Sports. I would like to ask, how much is the appearance fee for both parties for this competition?"
"Xiao Yong's appearance fee is 50 million US dollars, and Pereira's is 3 million US dollars!" Yang Lele said truthfully.
No matter what, Xiao Yong will definitely get a similar price.
For kickboxing matches, this kind of price is already extremely high.
After hearing this answer, another reporter stood up and asked: "I am a reporter from The Times. I would like to ask Miss Yang Lele. As far as I know, Tenglongjue has always been an MMA event. Why is it suddenly held?"
A kickboxing match?”
Yang Lele did not panic at all: "I think any event, as long as the procedures are in compliance, is qualified to hold any event. I don't think there is anything wrong with holding an occasional kickboxing match."
"Then what is your relationship with Xiao Yong, and why did you get the right to host this game?"
It has to be said that these reporters have a very keen sense of smell.
Soon he was thinking of things other than the game.
After all, Xiao Yong's love life is actually a highlight.
Nowadays, Xiao Yong's personal life is still very interesting.
Yang Lele smiled and said: "We paid 50 to 3 million US dollars as appearance fees for both parties. This is more than what the UFC gave. Why did Xiao Yong refuse?"
She did not answer the question directly.
But the reporter would never let her go easily: "So what is your personal relationship with Xiao Yong? Are they a couple?"
This time, the question was more direct.
Yang Lele's face darkened and he said, "I think you should pay more attention to the competition. I will refuse to answer any questions that are not related to the competition."
She will not be completely led by these reporters.
The reporters were a little disappointed. If it could be confirmed that the relationship between the two was unusual, that would be huge news!
But really speaking, even if there is no clear answer, Xiao Yong's participation in the competition in Tenglong Jue is enough to arouse people's imagination.
Seeing that Yang Lele couldn't find anything here, the reporters returned the question to the game and the players from both sides!
"Contestant Xiao Yong, why did you choose to have this second kickboxing match with Pereira?"
Faced with this problem, Xiao Yong was very relaxed: "Why? Because he challenged me after the game! I think his resume and strength are enough for me to give him a chance in the kickboxing competition, so I agreed
, that’s all!”
Xiao Yong looked at the reporters and continued: "I won this game, but many people are saying that if it is a standing level, I may not be able to beat Pereira. I feel that this kind of remarks makes me unhappy. I
I hope you know that I am the strongest in any field, and no one can be my opponent now."
Indeed, although Xiao Yong easily won three games, there were some remarks, for example, if Xiao Yong had a stand-alone fight with Pereira, he would have no chance of winning.
Because of the match between Xiao Yong and Adesanya, the two fought standing for a while, and Xiao Yong did not use a full throw, just a feint.
But in the match with Pereira, Xiao Yong simply didn't give Pereira a chance to punch.
Pereira didn't throw a single punch throughout the match.
Because of this, many people think that Xiao Yong won easily just because Pereira was not familiar with ground techniques.
After listening to Xiao Yong's words, the reporters looked at Pereira.
"Pereira, do you think you can defeat Xiao Yong if you return to the kickboxing rules?"
"Of course, I am taller than him and have a longer wingspan. It will be very difficult for him to face a player like me. I am not an opponent with weak standing skills like Whittaker and Adesanya." Pereira said very much.
confidence.
When he returns to the field he is best at, he also has the confidence of a king.
After all, it was his glory and he achieved so many achievements there!
The reporters asked some more questions from both sides, but after the press conference.
The main focus of media reports is on the relationship between Yang Lele and Xiao Yong.
"Chinese beautiful president, take down Xiao Yong!"
"Tenglong Jue held a competition, and the beautiful CEO held hands with Xiao Yong."
"When asked about the relationship, avoid talking about it. There is a risk that both parties may have something behind them!"
"Xiao Yong's girlfriend exposed?"
There are all kinds of titles like this.
It's extremely misleading.
After all, these media also know very well that although the battle between Xiao Yong and Pereira is attracting attention, all they can write about is technical analysis. How can there be any interesting gossip?
They also revealed Xiao Yong’s previous attendance at Tenglongjue competitions as supporting evidence!
For a time, many European and American fans of Xiao Yong were very upset!
They all rushed to Xiao Yong’s Twitter to leave messages.
"Xiao, I'm a hundred times hotter than her!"
"Xiao, can you reply to my private message? I can make you a god!"
"I love you, please let me give you a child!"
"I like strong men, let's date!"
For Xiao Yong, there are actually countless such confessions on Twitter.
Only this time, it was particularly violent!
Yang Lele and Xiao Yong were eating watermelon at home while browsing these messages.
"Haha, this beauty even sent you a naked photo. Don't tell me, she looks pretty good! Her breasts are so big!"
