"Mr. Wu Li, now do you understand the difference between the ring and actual combat?"

William's words made Wu Li fall silent, frowning and thinking.

In the past, information was not developed, and many people learned one or two tricks, which was actually enough to walk the rivers and lakes. When you are really fighting with someone, when both sides are not familiar with each other, each uses the move that they have practiced best and is most familiar with, and the competition is who reacts faster, shoots faster, and is more accurate; it is very common to divide life and death between several moves.

As long as you lose once, maybe more than ten years of hard training, a lifetime of life will be put into it, this is actual combat.

The biggest difference between the ring and actual combat is that in the ring, everyone can afford to lose.

In competitive sports, no one dares to say that he is a winning general, and if he loses, he will come again; after going down, he will sum up his experience, study his opponent, find his opponent's weaknesses, and always have a chance to win back next time, and this is the ring competition.

The more shots you make, the deeper others know about you, just like William just said, others will slow down your game video countless times every second to study, and will summarize some shooting habits that you may not be aware of.

"Do I have any habits of shooting?"

This is the question that Wu Li subconsciously thought of at this time, and then he asked and answered himself: naturally there is.

Don't look at the fact that he now has four master-level martial arts, and he is proficient in more martial arts: Wing Chun, Bagua, Baji, Poke Foot, Di Chuan Boxing, etc., but he is still a long way from integrating all martial arts and becoming a lineage of his own, so although he is proficient in a variety of martial arts, the real core is Xingyi Boxing.

The golden bell jar is to enhance their ability to resist blows, the eagle claw boxing is to strengthen the finger force, so that the change of the eagle shape is more smooth; Tai Chi is mainly to enhance the listening and strength, in the way of play, hammering, single whip, cloud hand, etc., Wu Li did not go deep to practice, his style of play is still based on the twelve forms of shape and meaning, the five elements of boxing as the core, and the rest of the master martial arts, are only playing an auxiliary role.

So Wu Li feels that he must also have some shooting habits, after all, most of the moves and forces of Xingyi Boxing, he has practiced to the point of doing what he wants, and many times he will use it subconsciously, and he himself will not feel that there is anything wrong with this, after all, practicing martial arts is to practice some moves and forces into subconscious instinctive reactions, and realize that the fist arrives, so that it can be regarded as practicing at home.

There can be many moves and playing styles, but as long as the core remains the same, it is difficult to change some behavior patterns and habits, and this is the main analysis of the professional team.

If it weren't for William's detailed analysis today, Wu Li felt that he might also suffer in the ring in the future because of some shooting habits caught by the opponent, just like Conrad's pre-designed probe, the distance and posture of the probe just touched Avare's subconscious reaction, and he directly punched with his back hand, and even the combination punch after that was subconsciously prepared, so that after being hit by a punch, his second punch was still played according to the preparation in advance, so that Conrad dodged it again.

Of course, there is also an element of luck in such a thing, and no one can 100% guarantee that Avaré will definitely use that move at that moment, after all, there are many options he can make, but the final result is that Conrad seized this opportunity and directly knocked out Avarey.

After the game, many people said that Conrad was lucky, and Avaray did not show his real strength at all, but those who are really experts know that luck is also based on a lot of preparation in the early stage.

Thinking about this, Wu Li has a new understanding of the necessity of a professional team.

Does he need a team of professionals? Yes!

Before meeting William, Wu Li was actually very confident in the ring competition, even if there were various restrictions and his strength could not be brought into full play, Wu Li also felt that it was not difficult for him to win a championship in the UFC if he worked hard.

Because the ring competition is divided into heavyweights, he has passive skills such as the body of steel, a master-level golden bell jar, and opponents of the same magnitude, as long as it is not the key point of attack, Wu Li almost does not 'break the defense'; plus he has passive skills such as endurance muscles, and the speed of physical consumption is far lower than that of the opponent.

Can't move, can't die, this is Wu Li's 'basic plate' in the ring, with such an advantage, Wu Li will say to William before: I can do without a professional team.

However, it seems that he still underestimated the UFC, and if his future opponent was like Conrad and designed a trap based on his shooting habits, he would also be knocked out if he was hit in the jaw with a series of heavy punches.

Find a professional team, even if Wu Li doesn't need to analyze the opponent's habits, he needs to know his own shooting habits.

In many cases, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and if others do not point out some of their habits, they may never be aware of them.

"I admit you have a point, Mr. William. Wu Li said seriously.

Chen Gang glanced at Wu Li and translated this sentence.

William smiled when he heard this: "Very good, it seems that you understand." You haven't fought a single fight in the UFC, but you're always going to fight, and trust me, your opponents can learn a lot from even one fight. ”

"That's the way it is in combat matches, this time if someone is targeted, then find the reason, improve it, and strive for the next fight not to be targeted in the same way, and so on. There is no such thing as perfect technique in this world, and anyone, even the UFC champions, have no obvious weaknesses in their technique, but there will always be some details that can be targeted, and if you use them well, you will have a chance to beat them, just like Conrad defeated Alvare. ”

"The role of a professional team is to help you magnify your opponent's weaknesses while minimizing your own weaknesses as much as possible. ”

"Mr. Wu Li, you may think that you can beat Danhu this time even if you don't need the help of a professional team, but can you guarantee that one day in the future, you will not be defeated like Avare? If your goal is to go further in the UFC, then you need a top team, and my team and I are the best!"

William waved his arm vigorously, "This is actually a good opportunity to work together, if your first opponent is Danhu, and I have a coach on my team who knows Danhu very well, we work together, and you will have a perfect start in the UFC." ”

Wu Li nodded: "I admit it, you moved me." ”

A smile appeared on William's face, but Wu Li's words were not finished.

"However, five years, it is still impossible. ”

William's smile froze, he crossed his hands on the table, and leaned forward: "Mr. Wu Li, how long do you think it will be acceptable?"

"Two years. Wu Li said.

In Wu Li's plan, in two years, he will reach the top of the UFC!

"No!" William refused.

He was indeed entrusted by Dana Bai to come to Wu Li to sign a contract, otherwise, with his and his team's status in the circle, it would be very easy to find a champion to sign a contract, and there was no need to sign a contract with a newcomer.

According to Dana Bai's plan, it will take one to two years to get Wu Li up, and then two to three years to open the market in Huaguo, and during this period, Wu Li must cooperate, so it is necessary to use a contract to retain people.

"We can reduce the percentage of the commission appropriately, but we can't reduce the contract period. William said directly.

"No, I can give in to the percentage, but not the contract period. Wu Li shook his head and said.

William felt a little tricky, generally speaking, he signed a contract with others, and the most powerful thing to fight for was the percentage of the commission, and neither side was willing to give in easily, after all, this may involve millions of dollars, but I didn't expect that when it came to Wu Li, forty percent of the commission, Wu Li even said that he could continue to add.

"Mr. Wu Li, the current highest appearance fee for a single UFC game is $3.5 million, and this is only the appearance fee, excluding bonuses, sponsorships and ratings. ”

William frowned and said, meaning do you know how much money is involved?

This time, without waiting for Wu Li to answer, Chen Gang spoke first: "Mr. William, you may not know, Wu Li has his own company in our country, and now his business is doing a lot of business, his future cannot be limited to the UFC, five years, if he concentrates on business in the past five years, I am afraid he will make more money than all the UFC champions combined." ”

William: "......"

He understood, which meant that Wu Li was not short of money, and for Wu Li, time was more precious than money.

"It seems that we won't be able to reach an agreement for a while, so why don't we talk about it another day?" Chen Gang proposed.

William glanced at Wu Li deeply and nodded: "Okay." ”

......

"What are you going to do if you can't get along in the end?"

On the way back, Chen Gang asked Wu Li.

Wu Li: "Then find another team." ”

Chen Gang was a little worried: "However, if the level of other teams is not enough, it will affect you, right?"

Wu Li smiled: "Of course, the role of the professional team is there, but the strength of the players in the ring is also very important, the game he just showed us, if the person named Avalé can react faster, even if he falls into the trap, he may not necessarily lose." So, of course, it's best to have the best team, and if you don't, you don't have to force it. ”

Chen Gang understood what Wu Li meant, and Wu Li felt that with his own strength, even if the team behind him was not the top, he could still reach the top of the UFC.

"It's good that you have confidence, but ah, it's best to consult with a professional about this matter, after all, we don't know which teams are powerful in the circle. Chen Gang said.

Wu Li nodded: "The question is, who are you looking for?"

Chen Gang smiled: "You forgot that you are not the only one who is fighting in the UFC in China, with your current fame, those people should be very willing to sell you this favor." ”

......

Washington, D.C., inside a training complex.

A yellow-skinned, black-haired, black-eyed, naked man with a naked upper body was sweating profusely, his muscles were well-proportioned, and he looked full of explosive power.

"Xiaodong, stop for a moment and tell you something. ”

A middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure and curly hair ran over, speaking Chinese.

Song Yidong stopped his movements and looked at the other party: "Brother Qian, what's the matter?"

"Guess who contacted me just now?"

Song Yidong: "Who?"

"Wu Li!"

Qian Lichuan looked excited: "He heard that you are also in the United States and wants to meet you." ”

Song Yidong was a little surprised: "He wants to see me?"

"Yes, I agreed for you. Qian Lichuan said with a smile, "He flew to Washington this afternoon, and we will have a meal together in the evening." ”

Song Yidong frowned: "Brother Qian, but there is still a training plan tonight." ”

Qian Lichuan patted Song Yidong: "What's the matter of delaying one night? I'll talk to Adam in a while." ”

Song Yidong was a little awkward: "Brother Qian, it doesn't have to be tonight, right?"

Qian Lichuan looked at Song Yidong's expression carefully, and said with a smile: "Xiaodong, don't you want to see Wu Li?"

Song Yidong touched his nose: "It's not that I don't want to see it, it's just that I'm about to compete, and it's not good to delay training." ”

"Alright, you. Qian Lichuan pointed at Song Yidong, "Don't think Brother Qian is troublesome, meeting with Wu Li tonight and getting to know each other will be beneficial to you in the future." ”

"Everyone plays their own games, do I need to take any benefits from him?" Song Yidong was a little unhappy.

"Haha. Qian Lichuan laughed when he heard this, "You, I know you're not convinced by him." ”

Song Yidong's face turned red: "When will I ......?"

Qian Lichuan waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words: "It's understandable, really, before Wu Li appeared, in fact, I also think that Xiaodong, you will have the opportunity to become the first person in the Chinese martial arts world in the future." ”

Song Yidong fell silent when he heard this, but this time he did not refute Qian Lichuan.

"You entered the UFC at such a young age, and your record is not bad, coupled with the UFC's emphasis on the Chinese market in recent years, you will have a chance to win the right to challenge for the championship in the future, and even become a champion. I've analyzed these things for you before. Qian Lichuan said slowly.

"But ah, Wu Li appeared too suddenly, and it was too demonic. If you look at the things he has done, not to mention the popularity in China, even in the United States, the popularity has risen now. In the first fight, his opponent may be Danhu, who is ranked sixth in the lightweight division, hey! How many people have never fought against a top-10 player until they retire? ”

Qian Lichuan put his hand on Song Yidong's shoulder: "Moreover, the most critical point, the biggest difference between Wu Li and you is that he uses traditional martial arts! Every fight he fights in the UFC, every victory, is of extraordinary significance to many people in China." So, no matter how far Wu can go in the UFC in the future, it's good for you to befriend him now. ”

Song Yidong smiled: "You don't have to be so deliberate, right?"

Qian Lichuan stretched out his hands: "Where is this deliberate? This time people take the initiative to see you, what a good opportunity! Xiaodong, to be honest, Brother Qian knows that you are a little unconvinced, but ah, meet tonight, let's have a good chat, this is not convincing, just put it in my heart, we can surpass him if we have a chance in the future, right?"

Song Yidong nodded: "Got it." ”
