In the room, Dana White said to Victor, "I need to think about this matter." ”

Victor frowned slightly: "I hope you will give an answer as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, he got up and left the room.

Dana Bai didn't care about the other party's rudeness, and sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

The success of Yan Huang Jue made him feel the crisis, competitive competitions have geographical advantages, and the audience in China naturally prefers to see local players in China. What's more, there are so many people in Yanhuang Jue who use Chinese kung fu, which makes it easier for Chinese audiences to have a sense of intimacy.

Wu Li has now successfully opened up the fighting market in China with Yan Huang Jue, not to mention stealing the market in the UFC, and even worrying about whether the other party will threaten his position in the future.

Although Yan Huang Jue has just started, what should be most worried now is ONE who is in Asia with Yan Huang Jue, at least until Yan Huang Jue successfully snatches the Asian market from ONE before he has a chance to impact the status of the UFC.

However, Dana White has always been cautious, and he likes to nip threats in the bud, so it is appropriate to hold a Fighting World Cup at this time.

The Fighting World Cup, simply put, is to participate in the name of each country and organize a worldwide fighting competition.

If such a tournament can really be successfully held, with the participation of many countries around the world and the attention of the whole world, then the promotion of the sport of fighting will undoubtedly be huge!

If the Fighting World Cup is held, then there will inevitably be fighters from the UFC in the participating teams of all countries, and the United States team is composed of all UFC players.

At that time, whether it is Yan Huang Jue or any other fighting event, it will not be able to threaten the status of the UFC in a few years, and even its own market may be taken away by the UFC.

As Victor said, this kind of thing is good for Dana White, and there is no need to hesitate at all.

The reason why Dana Bai did not agree immediately was because he had two concerns: the first was that he was worried that the competition would not be held successfully, after all, it involved many countries around the world, even if it was not official, but at least the non-governmental fighting event had to cooperate with you, right? Don't spend a lot of money at that time, and the result is not loud.

The second is that Dana White is more jealous of Victor's leader, and the more the other party is not demanding, the more worried he feels. Especially this time, if the other party can help him hold this kind of competition, he will get too many benefits, and the other party only needs something that is insignificant in the eyes of Dana Bai, there is such a good thing in the world?

......

On the other side, after Victor left the private club, got into a black car, put on a Bluetooth headset while driving, and made a phone call.

"Victor. A deep male voice came from the other end of the line.

"Chief, I'm done. Victor's tone was very respectful, and even across the phone, he subconsciously sat up straight.

"What did Dana White say?"

He didn't say yes right away, saying he would think again. Chief, do you need to warn him?"

"Heh, there's no need, he'll definitely agree. Victor, you go to SF and talk to their president. ”

"Yes. ”

Without asking why, Victor hung up the phone and drove straight towards SF's headquarters.

SF, whose full name is Strikeforce, is also a mixed martial arts event, mainly dominated by smallweight competitions, and is the biggest threat to the UFC in North America.

Victor guessed what it meant as soon as he heard the leader's command, the leader may not really want to cooperate with SF, but as long as this gesture is made, Dana Bai must know it in his heart: You don't want to cooperate, we have people to cooperate.

The status and influence of SF have improved, which Dana White definitely does not want to see, so even with the mentality that I can't do it myself, I won't let you do it, and the UFC will definitely take over the right to host the Fight World Cup.

......

On September 3, 2021, UFC President David White made headlines in the United States.

Dana White published an article on his Twitter account and on the UFC's official website about the development and promotion of combat sports. He proposed to hold a world fighting tournament for teams from all over the world to participate in the fight tournament.

In the article, Dana White openly invited well-known fighting events from all over the world to join the tournament, such as Brazil's IBJJF, Thailand's two top Muay Thai events, the island country's K-1, Germany's WKU Free Fighting League, Russia's M-1 Fighting Tsar, etc., and China's newly established Yan Huang Jue is also being invited.

The article caused an uproar in the United States, with countless fighters rushing to tell each other and express their opinions online, almost all of them looking forward to such a fighting event.

At the same time, the UFC also used its own publicity channels and influence to promote Dana White's proposal in various countries around the world.

......

Brasilia, Brazil.

In a training hall, a group of people in white martial arts uniforms are rolling and fighting on the ground.

Obviously, this is a jiu-jitsu gym.

In Brazil, there may be eight out of ten martial arts halls that teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and the martial arts of the entire nation are very widespread.

There are several coaches with black belts around their waists in the stadium, which means that they all have the strength of a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

You must know that black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are hard to come by, and many Jiu-Jitsu gyms don't even have a black belt instructor, but there are several here!

However, the students present did not find it strange, because the status of this Jiu-Jitsu gym is very lofty in the whole of Brasilia and even in the whole of Brazil, this is the Jiu-Jitsu gym opened by the Gracie family!

The members of the Gracie family gradually evolved Gracie Jiu-Jitsu into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and with their amazing achievements to promote Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the world, the Gracie family's status in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world can be imagined.

This Jiu-Jitsu gym is owned by members of the Gracie family, which also has four black belt coaches and a black and red belt master on the side, and even the occasional red belt legend who comes to give lectures.

"Stop, come here!"

A strong man stood in the center of the arena and shouted, he was Rewang Gracie, the head coach of the jiu-jitsu gym and the master of the black and red belts.

With Lei Wang's order, all the students and coaches in the venue stopped moving, approached him one after another, and sat in a group.

Lei Wang's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at the surrounding students, "I just got the news that IBJJF has confirmed that it is going to join the Fighting World Cup led by the UFC!"

When the words fell, everyone present was shocked.

The IBJJF, World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship, is the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is hosted by the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association.

Lei Wang: "This Fighting World Cup is in the name of the country, so the Jiu-Jitsu Association decided to select a group of the best players from China and finally represent us in the World Cup in Brazil!"

"The quota for a team is tentatively set at 20 people, and in addition to IBJJF, there are many UFC fighters in our country who will also participate in the selection. Even though everyone is representing Brazil, I hope that the IBJJF players can get as many spots as possible, because this tournament is not only a promotion of BJJ, but also a promotion of our IBJJF!"

After speaking, Lei Wan looked at the students: "You are the students of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Gym, and you are also the best players in IBJJF, I hope to fight side by side with you in the end!"

The implication is that he himself will definitely be able to pass the selection and occupy a place in the Brazilian team. In fact, people take this for granted, because Lei Wan is now the representative of the Gracie family!

"Yes!" shouted the students.

Lei Wan nodded with satisfaction: "Keep practicing!"

......

Chiang Mai, Thailand.

In one village, a group of people gathered around and shouted loudly.

A simple stand was built around the tower, which was full of people, and in the middle was a field for fighting, while a special match was taking place.

A muscular man was facing four people alone, and all four of them were holding iron rods in their hands.

The man wore only a pair of black shorts and a special rope tied around his right arm, typical of a Muay Thai fighter.

Four men armed with iron rods surrounded him, and one of them suddenly attacked from behind him, raising the iron rod with both hands and hitting him the back of the head, as if he did not spare his hand, and if he did, he would immediately open his head.

The spectators in the stands did not feel worried at all, but shouted loudly and looked forward to it.

Brush!

The man turned, and his right leg slashed out like a tomahawk, just kicking the iron bar from behind.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the iron rod was kicked out of an arc, obviously bent, and the person holding the stick was also kicked out.

At the same time as the man turned around and kicked out, the other three also moved, and their movements were very consistent, and they all stepped forward, holding iron rods high with both hands and smashing at the man fiercely!

The man retracted his legs, kicked the ground, and jumped out of the way, slamming into the left with a flying knee.

He was extremely fast, the first to strike, and the knee hit the man on the left in the face first.

Bang!

Blood splattered, and the man fell straight to the ground.

The man did not pause at all, and immediately turned around after landing, and while dodging the iron rod smashed behind him, he turned around and elbowed the man behind him in the temple with a fierce turn, and the other party rolled his eyes and fell down at once.

There was still the last person left, and the other party was obviously a little timid, but in the boos around him, he could only grit his teeth and step forward, frantically waving the iron rod in his hand.

Syllable!

The iron rod was accurately grabbed by the man with his right hand, he sneered, snatched the iron rod, and then stepped forward and punched the opponent in the face, knocking out one person again.

From the beginning of the hand to the end of the man to solve the four people, the whole process takes less than five seconds, clean and neat!

The man raised his hands in the air and gestured to the surrounding spectators.

At this time, a man in a suit suddenly ran over and whispered a few words in the man's ear.

The man turned and followed the other out of the stands and walked to a black sedan parked on the side of the road.

A middle-aged man with glasses looked at him: "Siti, do you know about the Fight World Cup?"

The man known as Siti nodded, "I heard that." ”

"Both RJ and LP have decided to send people to participate, but there are only twenty places, so there will be a selection tournament in China first. ”

RJ, Rajadamnern, LP, Lumpinee, these are the two top and most authoritative Muay Thai events in Thailand. And Sithi is one of the few people in Thailand who has won the title of Muay Thai champion in two major tournaments at the same time!

Siti looked at the other party: "I still need to participate in the selection?"

The other party smiled and shook his head: "Of course you don't need to, I'm here to inform you that you have been selected for the list of twenty members of the Thai team." ”

With a fanatical look on his face, Seeti licked his lips with some excitement, "That's good, it's time to let the world know that Muay Thai is the most powerful martial art!"
