On July 20th, the first day of the Yanhuang Finals, Penguin Sports exclusively broadcast live.

In the live broadcast room, two commentators, a man and a woman, are newcomers who have previously commented on the UFC.

And today's live broadcast room invited a heavyweight guest - Wu Li!

As the founder of this competition and the image spokesperson of Penguin Sports, Wu Li naturally wanted to be a guest.

"In this competition, the number of participants is 3,782 people, creating a record for the number of participants in the Chinese fighting competition!"

"The competition is divided into five divisions: featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight and light heavyweight, with the two divisions of lightweight and welterweight having the most registrations, 1,231 and 863 respectively. ”

The two commentators gave a general introduction to the game, and then the male commentator looked at Wu Li: "Teacher Wu Li, as the founder of Yanhuang Duel, let's give the audience a rough introduction to the game process." ”

"Okay. Wu Li nodded.

"This competition is divided into three stages, the first stage is the group stage, according to different levels, we will divide the contestants into different groups, each group ranges from six to ten people, play a round-robin match, win a point for a point, lose a game without points, and finally the top two points of the two people advance. Due to the large number of players registered in some levels, it is necessary to play several more rounds of group stage until the top 64 are selected. ”

"After entering the round of 64, it is time for the second stage: the knockout round. It wasn't until the top 8 that it entered the final stage: the final stage. ”

The female commentator said: "I heard that the rules of this competition are different from the traditional mixed martial arts rules, so Mr. Wu Li will introduce them to you." ”

Wu Li: "Most of the rules of this competition are still the same as those of traditional mixed martial arts, but there are some changes in some details: for example, it is no longer fighting in the octagon, but on a high platform. ”

As Wu Li's words fell, the picture on the big screen next to him changed: in a gymnasium, there were crowds of people, surrounding high platforms.

More than 3,000 contestants are scattered all over the country, so the qualifying stage of the Yanhuang Duel has sub-venues in eight cities, and it will not be held in the main arena of the imperial capital until the knockout stage.

At this time, the picture cut by the director was one of the sub-venues in the imperial capital, and a close-up lens was specially given to the scene to shoot the high platform used for the Yanhuang duel.

It is a one-meter-high circular ring with a diameter of nine meters, and a sponge mat underneath the ring.

"In this fight, the score decision was canceled, and the criterion for the defeat was not only KO, TKO (voluntary surrender or referee blocking), but also the knockout of the opponent on the high platform. If both of them fall off the high platform at the same time, whoever lands first will be judged to lose. ”

Facing the big screen, Wu understood and said.

The male commentator said: "Teacher Wu Li, why did you think of making such a change?"

Wu Li: "There are several reasons, first, the way of judging a loss by score is easy to cause disputes, not only the players, but also the audience may also feel unconvinced. Second, in the ancient martial arts duel in China, there has always been a rule that if you fall into the ring, you will lose. ”

Among the people who were watching the live broadcast at this time, many people were disgusted when they heard Wu Li's explanation.

They are all vested interests on the side of modern martial arts, and they have sent many people to participate in this competition, the purpose is to let the public see the power of modern martial arts.

Originally, a Wu Li had already caused a lot of business in modern fighting gyms, and now Wu Li held a Yanhuang duel, clearly to launch his own students who practice traditional martial arts, if there are a few more stars who practice martial arts, then many gyms may go out of business.

Therefore, this time, in addition to the three major fighting events such as Jianghufeng and other major fighting events jointly targeting the Boyuan Martial Arts Gym, there are many other temporary organizations that have been established, and the purpose is also to stop the students of the Boyuan Martial Arts Gym.

However, the new rules announced by Wu Li are not very friendly to some fighters who have become accustomed to the original MMA rules, because of the existence of the original octagonal cage, there will be some fighters who are good at corner grappling, whether it is standing grappling or ground grappling, in short, using the edge of the iron cage to make a fuss.

Now, Wu Li has changed the competition venue and the rules, even if he loses if he falls off the high platform, then these players who are good at corner grappling will be very uncomfortable. The contestants in the Boyuan Martial Arts Hall are different, they must have known this rule for a long time if they think about it with their feet, and they must have done relevant training in private, which is the advantage!

A group of people had the intention to attack Wu Li and Boyuan Martial Arts on the Internet, saying some unfair things about the competition, but the reason given by Wu Li was difficult to refute: This is the traditional rule of Huaguo! What is the problem with the competition we hold by ourselves and use our own traditional rules?

In the live broadcast room, after Wu Li explained the new rules, the male commentator asked: "But in this way, will it cause the game to end too quickly?" After all, this ring is not too big, and it feels like it will not be too difficult to fall." ”

Wu Li nodded: "In the group stage, there is no time limit, two people have been playing on the stage, as long as they fall down once, they will lose." Because of the large number of people in the group stage, the winners and losers can be quickly separated, and there are many opportunities in the group stage, more than one game, even if you really lose the game because of carelessness, there are still many chances. Once is careless, twice is not adaptable, three times, four times or even more times, that is, the strength is not good. ”

With Wu Li's explanation, the picture on the big screen is also changing, presenting the game scene in the stadium to the audience, indeed as Wu Li said, the speed of victory and defeat in the group stage is very fast, because it is not easy to KO or TKO the opponent, and it is relatively easy to knock the opponent off the high platform, as long as the opponent is forced to the edge.

In the picture, from time to time, you can see a player being knocked off the high platform, or two people holding each other and falling off the high platform, and then the referee decides who lands first.

This way does have a certain element of chance and luck, but Wu Li's explanation is also very convincing, once or twice is accidental, but you have to play at least six games in the group stage, and you have been knocked off the high platform six times, that is, the strength is not good, and you can't blame others for elimination.

Wu Li looked at the big screen and continued: "After the group stage, entering the knockout round, the rules will change: still only one game, but in addition to KO and TKO, you have to accumulate three times to fall off the high platform to be considered a loss, after someone falls off the high platform, the game will be temporarily stopped, and when the other party comes to the stage, the two will restart in the center of the ring." ”

The female commentator said: "This reduces the element of luck. ”

Wu Li: "That's right, and after entering the finals, the rules will continue to change: one game every two minutes, one drop off the high platform is allowed in one game, and there will be a 30-second break after each round. There is no limit to the number of rounds in the finals, as long as there is no winner or loser, it will be played forever. ”

"It's set up to speed up the pace and tension of the fight, and I believe the crowd prefers to see the fast-paced action over the grappling, the thrill of being pushed to the edge and the potential reversal of the stage. ”

The male commentator smiled: "It sounds like this is true, and I can't wait to see the knockout rounds and finals." ”

The female commentator said: "Teacher Wu Li, there are more than 500 people who have signed up for this competition in the Boyuan Martial Arts Hall, are they all practicing traditional martial arts?"

Wu Li: "That's right, they all practice traditional martial arts, or improved traditional martial arts that focus on ring competitions. Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, Wing Chun, Tong Arm...... There are various genres, and I believe that this competition will allow the audience to truly see the breadth and profundity of Chinese martial arts!"

The male commentator: "Then why don't we take a look at it now." ”

The picture on the big screen next to the three of them turned, and Zhao Lixin appeared on the screen, he was fighting with people.

I saw that Zhao Lixin forced the opponent to the edge of the high platform in a few moves, and then beat the opponent down with one palm.

"This is the player of the eighth stage of the national martial arts of our Boyuan Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Lixin, who mainly practices Baguazhang. Wu Li's voice sounded.

Then the picture turned again, Guo Dongyang appeared on the stage, he was beating his opponent backwards, and he fell off the high platform.

"This is the player of the seventh section of the national martial arts of our Boyuan Martial Arts Hall, Guo Dongyang, who mainly practices angquan. Wu Li continued.

Then the picture continued to change, and Gao Jianping, Dong Yunfei, Xu Chuan and other players who planned to launch in this competition appeared on the big screen one after another.

Wu Li introduced them one by one, commenting on them from time to time.

After introducing the players in the Boyuan Martial Arts Gym, some foreign players began to appear on the big screen.

Yan Huang Duel also specially invited a lot of foreign martial arts masters to participate in the competition, this is the Asian ONE Lightweight Champion, Thailand's Nguyen Long. Wu Li briefly introduced.

The first day of the competition was too spread out and there were no matchups between the masters, so today's live stream was mainly focused on introducing the competition and the contestants.

Wu Li deliberately introduced some powerful foreign players, not to make a name for these people, but to make the audience subconsciously feel that the level of this competition is not low, and many foreign masters have participated.

At the same time as Wu Li's live broadcast, the principals of the three major events, Glory Warrior and Emei Duel, were scolding their mothers.

When the group list of the Yanhuang final group stage came out, they were stunned to find that all the players in their family were grouped together.

A total of 71 people signed up for the three major events this time, and now these 71 heroes are divided into eight groups......

Although they had long thought that the schedule of the players on their side would be deliberately 'taken care of', they didn't expect Wu Li to be so naked and unabashed.

This is so simple, if it weren't for the players of the three major events being mixed together, maybe the audience at the scene would think that they were not watching the Yanhuang duel but the Jianghu wind, the glory warrior and the Emei duel......
