Chapter 225: Let's have a real combat competition
Beat the rabbit with the grass.
When the interpreter said this move, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then some people couldn't help laughing.
Charles understood the taunt and couldn't help but be furious.
"I'm going to kill him!"
"Let go of me, I'm going to kill him!!"
The people held him down and didn't let him rush out.
Wu Li ignored the roar behind him and walked forward with a smile on his face.
The difference between the ring and actual combat, in fact, is especially obvious in ground grappling, many times the opponent's position is suppressed on it, but the back of the head is also exposed, at this time, if you punch or elbow the back of the head, it is easy to hurt the opponent.
Moves like the front rush and hugging the legs to take the initiative to send one's vital points are actually very easy to deal with in actual combat, so Wu Li said before that there are many moves in Huaguo Kung Fu that can deal with this move.
Of course, these moves are forbidden moves, and they can't be used in the ring, if it weren't for Charles having to rush to his face and let Wu Li fight, Wu Li actually didn't want to knock down the other party in this way, he wanted to beat the other party in the ring and convince everyone.
I just don't know if it's possible for the UFC to agree to a public fight with Charles in advance?
......
That night, the furious Charles applied to the UFC official to fight Wu Li, and his attitude was very tough.
Eventually, the news reached the ears of Dana White, the president of the UFC.
The UFC has become one of the five most popular sports in the United States, and it has become the highest level of mixed martial arts in the world.
Once the UFC was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was Dana White who saved the UFC by changing the rules of the UFC to make it officially acceptable, such as not allowing kicks to the head and spine of opponents who have fallen to the ground, and implementing a strict medical examination system before the fight.
Bloody, violent, ferocious, strong, intense, casualties...... It seems that when it comes to fighting, words like these come to most people's minds. However, Dana White has developed "fighting", the bloodiest business in the eyes of ordinary people, into one of the fastest-making sports in the world.
In a villa in Queens, New York, a white man with a bald head who is 1.8 meters tall put down the phone.
He is Dana White, the president of the UFC, known to many as the 'King of MMA'.
"What a toss-up little guy. Dana White sighed.
He had just received a report about today's clash between Wu Li and Charles.
In fact, he single-handedly facilitated the signing of the contract between TUF and Wu Li, and when he learned about Wu Li's influence and popularity in China, he immediately realized that this was a very good opportunity.
The UFC has already held successful events in countries such as Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and the United Arab Emirates, and has broadcast events live in many countries around the world, and Dana White's next target is the Asian fighting market.
The Asian ONE Championship has developed very well in recent years, which made Dana White feel threatened, so he wanted to start planning early, and Wu Li's appearance allowed him to find a breakthrough.
In the entire Asian market, whether it is the number of people or economic capacity, Huaguo is undoubtedly the top priority, if Wu Li can take the opportunity to help the UFC open Huaguo's fighting market, this will be a good move for Bai Da to win.
So when Wu Li asked TUF for live broadcast, Dana Bai agreed without much thought, and asked his subordinates to report to him in time about Wu Li's situation.
The previous conflict between Wu Li and Charles, in fact, Dana Bai also knew that Wu Li was able to become the mentor of TUF, and he also had his instructions, which shows his attitude towards Wu Li.
But now the development of things is a little beyond his expectations, he didn't expect Wu Li to be so able to do things, not to mention getting rid of Charles's mentorship, and now he is directly knocking Charles down in front of a group of people, even if it is by means of fouls, this is very difficult to get off the stage.
The most important thing is that TUF's program can edit this paragraph afterwards, but Wu Li is broadcasting live, and with Wu Li's popularity, I am afraid that this matter will soon spread all over China.
Ding Ding Ding!
The mobile phone rang again, and Dana Bai looked at the caller ID, it was Charles.
Many of the UFC's most popular fighters have personal relationships with Dana White, and the UFC president has always been approachable to the outside world, and even sometimes 'bullied' by the fighters.
Charles has made several calls to Dana Bai tonight, but Dana Bai has not answered.
After thinking about it, Dana White connected the phone.
"Hey, Charles, I'm sorry, I was in an emergency meeting, what's the matter?"
"Alright Dana, don't tell me you don't know what's going on, you must have seen my contest application, right?"
"Charles, don't get so excited. ”
"I can't calm down! That damn yellow-skinned monkey insults me in public, I can't bear it! Listen, I'm only going to fight him, and I'm going to refuse any other fights until you agree with me!"
When Dana Bai heard this, his eyes changed, he paused for a few seconds, and said softly: "Charles, I can understand your feelings, so you let me think about it." ”
"Dana, it's just one game, we've both agreed, it's that hard for you?"
"Give me a moment, okay?"
“...... Well, hopefully you can get back to me soon. ”
Hung up the phone, Bai Dana's face was a little ugly, these players were very humble to him before they became famous, and after they became famous, they all had their own ideas and no longer respected him.
But it doesn't matter, even if these players are sometimes not so obedient, he doesn't care, because this is his league and everything is under his control.
An hour later, Danny receives a message, and after making sure it's correct, he begins to prepare.
On September 18, the last day of the TUF, Charles did not come.
The final two winners will be decided in the morning, and there will be two matches in total, and it will not take long for the winners to be decided.
At this point, all three fighters signed with the UFC have been selected.
At this time of the year, if there is a match between mentors, then the momentum will be built in advance, and today the game will be live.
And this year, due to Wu Li, there is no mentor competition, so normally speaking, this year's TUF is over.
"First of all, congratulations to the guys who signed with the UFC as you embark on a new career. ”
Danny took the microphone and said to everyone, "Thank you for coming to our tryout, and if you are still looking forward to UFC, you are welcome to sign up for next year's TUF." ”
"Finally, I have a message for you. For some reason, this year's TUF is very different from previous years, and there are many surprises. ”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Wu Li on the side, obviously, this 'some reason' was actually all because of Wu Li.
Danny also looked at Wu Li: "You are the first person in the history of TUF to turn from a student to a mentor, and you are also the first person to teach you Chinese kung fu in training. The dispute between you and Charles yesterday originated from what you said: the ring is not the same as the actual fight. In light of this, the president of the UFC, Mr. Dana Blanc, has a suggestion that he wants you and Charles to have a real fight. ”
"Huh?" Wu Li looked surprised, "What game?"
Danny smiled: "This is a temporary idea that Mr. Dana Blanc, after our discussion and research, I think it is very interesting, so I want to try it." ”
"We want you and Charles to play on the real streets, but not against each other directly, but against a sneak attack from the crowd. ”
"We're going to find about twenty to thirty people, both ordinary and trained pros, who will hide in the crowd and attack you, and you'll have to make sure you don't get subdued or 'killed,' and finally see which of you can get through that street, or see who gets through faster. ”
After listening to this, Wu Li felt that Americans are really good at playing, and these people often seem to like to do things that make people feel unexpected, such as once the UFC specially found a few champions to let them compete with a group of American GIs in the jungle for their ability to fight with hand-to-hand combat, and even let the two sides wear body armor and fight with daggers.
These things may seem ridiculous, but many American viewers love it.
"Damn, this way of playing?"
"Sounds interesting!"
"It's really close to actual combat, it's on the street again, it's a sneak attack, maybe it's still one-to-many. ”
"I want to see it!"
......
Netizens in the live broadcast room were also excited.
The president of the UFC planned to arrange such a real combat match because of his casual words, which really made Wu Li feel both unexpected and reasonable.
If you think about it carefully, if the grievances between yourself and Charles are finally resolved in this way, it is actually more acceptable than the two sides playing directly in the ring.
Because no matter who loses, there will still be a chance to get it back in the ring in the future, and the audience will not have too many questions.
"Charles has agreed, Wu, what is your opinion?" Danny looked at Wu Li, "If you agree, then in three days, we can start such an unprecedented match, and this game will be broadcast live to a national audience." ”
Three days were spent promoting and preparing for the game, and it is conceivable that such a live broadcast of the game will definitely attract a lot of viewers, and Wu Li will quickly be recognized by the American audience.
Danny really admires Dana White, worthy of being the king of MMA, in this way, he not only solves the grievances between Wu Li and Charles, but also has a very gimmick and highlights, which can attract more audiences for the UFC, and finally let Wu Li appear on stage for the first time, so that the American audience can see Huaguo kung fu, and at the same time please the Chinese audience, after all, this game is derived from Wu Li's words.
"Wu, would you like to participate?" Danny asked again.
"I do. Wu Li nodded.
