can single-handedly influence the entire industry, and they are legends in their respective fields, such as Jordan, Kobe, LeBron and others in the NBA, in short, the influence of a superstar can increase the attention of the entire industry.

From the current point of view, Wu Li's popularity and popularity in Huaguo have begun to affect the fighting industry in Huaguo, and it is also based on this that Dana Bai values him so much.

The goose factory spends $500 million a year to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of the NBA in China, while the UFC's broadcast rights in China can only be sold for $10 million a year, which is 50 times worse than the NBA!

Such a gap is a bit difficult for Dana Bai, who has been committed to building the UFC into the world's top sporting event, and he can see the broad prospects of the Chinese fighting market, but the profits have not been raised, just like there is a huge cake in front of him, but he can only eat it little by little with a small spoon.

It's impatient, and unwilling.

Previously, because the Chinese female player Zhang Weili won the championship in the UFC, and then successfully defended the title, the Chinese audience's attention to the UFC has increased a lot, but this is far from enough, Dana Bai hopes that there will be a male Chinese player to provoke the beam, after all, fighting is a competitive sport, male players are naturally easier to win the favor and worship of the audience than female players.

The appearance of Wu Li made Dana Bai see hope, Wu Li perfectly met his requirements in all aspects, as long as it works well, it is completely no problem to double the UFC's income in China!

"Wu, your strength, appearance, and your topicality are all very suitable for the UFC, I hope you can go further here, and I believe you can do it!"

"In fact, you should know that there are few people in the entire Chinese fighting circle who can really do it, and even more so in the UFC, no male fighter can score in the top 15 at present, as long as you can play a result, you are the first person in the Chinese fighting world!"

"With your weight, it's just right to play lightweight, it's just as competitive in welterweight, and even if you lose weight, you will definitely have an absolute advantage in featherweight!

"Wu, think about such a future, I'm optimistic about you!"

Dana Bai opened his arms, speaking faster and faster, and looked full of passion.

I have to say that some people are naturally suitable to be orators, even if there is an extra translator, Wu Li can't directly understand what the other party says, but just looking at Bai Dana's movements, demeanor and tone, he can feel the strong appeal of the other party.

"Thank you for your bullishness, Mr. Dana. Wu Li said.

Bai Dana carefully observed Wu Li's eyes, and did not see much excitement in them, which made him a little depressed.

With his status, he would be so optimistic about a player, even if it was a famous player like Charles or Flossen, he would probably feel excited and grateful, but Wu Li's reaction seemed a little unmoved, which made Dana Bai feel very strange.

In the final analysis, the fighting circle is no different from the entertainment industry, in the end, it is for fame and fortune, Bai Dana can't understand why Wu Li, a twenty-one-year-old young man, can be so calm?

"Wu, what do you think about these?" asked Dana Bai directly.

Wu Li smiled: "Of course, it's best to do it, let's do it step by step." ”

"Okay, it means that you also have an idea. Dana Bai looked serious, "So this first match is very important for you, although I intend to let you fight Danhu, but it still depends on your personal thoughts." Wu, how much do you know about Danhu?"

Wu Li thought for a while and said: "I received the news yesterday, I have a general understanding, I watched some game videos, and I haven't analyzed it in depth. ”

Dana Bai frowned slightly: "Do you have a professional team?"

Wu Li shook his head: "No." ”

In fact, in the UFC, choosing an opponent is a very important thing, and fighters with the right to challenge and fame will not say that whoever is scheduled to fight will fight, and playing to their strengths and avoiding weaknesses is a realistic choice on the road to the championship.

In terms of specialization, there are four major directions – striking, grappling, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu. Very few players can be proficient in all techniques, most of them are proficient in one subject, and the others have no obvious shortcomings, so you should be extra cautious when choosing your opponent, if the opponent's specialization just restrains you, then the odds of winning will be very low.

Dana Bai asked Wu Li if he had a professional team, because analyzing opponents, selecting opponents, and then targeted training, these things require a professional team to help Wu Li.

"Wu, if you want to go further in the UFC, you have to have a professional team of your own. Dana White said sincerely.

"Well, I'll think about it seriously. Wu Li nodded.

Dana White: "I can recommend you a good agent, he has a very professional team behind him." ”

"Thank you. Wu Li did not refuse.

"Wu, are you sure you want to fight Dan Hu here?" asked Dana Bai.

Wu Li nodded: "Of course, I'm sure." ”

Dana Bai smiled: "It seems that you are very confident, since this is the case, I will ask people to contact Danhu's team to finalize this game as soon as possible." ”

The two chatted for a while, and finally separated.

Dana White and Tom return to the office in a car, Tom drives, and Dana White sits in the passenger seat.

"Tom, what do you think of this young man?"

In the car, Dana Bai asked.

Tom looked ahead and said as he drove, "It's calm, not too much emotion is exposed." ”

Dana White: "Isn't he interested in what I'm talking about?"

Tom laughed, "How is that possible? If he's really not interested, why is he coming to the UFC?"

Dana Bai also smiled: "So, this kid is quite capable of pretending." ”

He specially invited Wu Li today, in addition to expressing his appreciation for Wu Li, in fact, he has been hinting at one thing.

"This young man, there is a sophistication and maturity that does not belong to his age, he should be able to understand what I mean, the next thing he needs to do is to get Danhu's side to agree to this game, and you go to communicate with Danhu's side in the afternoon. Dana White commanded.

This kind of communication with the players on both sides and getting them to agree to the game didn't have to be done by him himself, and he came to see Wu Li in person today for another purpose, as for persuading Danhu, he didn't need to come forward.

......

Wu Li returned to the hotel, called Chen Gang into the house, and gave him a general description of the process of meeting Dana Bai today.

Although it is Wu Li's personal matter to fight UFC, Wu Li and the 'Xunwu' program team are already in a prosperous relationship, so Wu Li called Chen Gang to help analyze it, after all, similar experience must be richer Chen Gang.

"He said he was going to send someone to Danhu to finalize the match?" Chen Gang asked.

Wu Li nodded: "That's right." ”

Chen Gang frowned: "It stands to reason that since you are valued so much, you shouldn't be given such a high ranking in the first game, after all, you don't have any competition experience, what if you lose?

Wu Li: "I actually think it's strange, he repeatedly stressed to me that the first match is very important, asked me if I have the confidence to win against Danhu, and it seems that he doesn't think I can win safely, but this opponent is recommended by him. ”

Chen Gang: "He values you so much, of course he doesn't want you to lose your first game, but it's paradoxical to have you with such a high ranking, unless he has a way to let you win." ”

Wu Li smiled: "How can you win steadily? Do you deliberately let Danhu lose to me?"

"He recommended an agent to you?" Chen Gang asked suddenly.

Wu Li nodded, took out a business card from his bag and put it on the table: "That's the person." ”

Chen Gang picked up the business card and looked at it, put it on the table, and said after a moment of silence: "If you guessed correctly, he should hope that you can sign a contract with this agent." ”

Wu Li: "Oh?"

Chen Gang: "If he can directly arrange for Danhu to deliberately lose to you, then there is no need to meet you specifically and tell you so much, so I think the key point is in the business card he left you, maybe this agent and the team behind him, what can help you improve your winning rate." ”

"Is it necessary to be so troublesome? Like you said, just arrange a weaker one for me in the first game, why does he have to be so twisted and round?" Wu Li was puzzled.

Chen Dang shook his head: "Then I can't guess, but contact this agent, and you should be able to know the answer." ”

......

In the afternoon, in a café in Queens.

Wu Li, Chen Gang and a thin white man met here, the white man was about forty years old, named William, and was introduced to Wu Li by Dana Bai.

"We have learned about Mr. Wu Li's situation, and I heard that the opponent of the first UFC fight was Danhu?"

After a brief introduction, William went straight to the point.

Chen Gang replied directly in place of Wu Li: "Our side has confirmed that we are willing to fight with Danhu, but Danhu's side has not yet been decided." ”

William nodded: "Okay, then let me tell you about the situation on my side, I have worked with many famous UFC fighters, and I have a very professional team in my hands, fighting coaches, physical trainers, tactical analysts, nutritionists, masseurs, etc., I can guarantee that this is one of the best teams in the UFC!"

Chen Gang nodded: "What about other than that?"

So far, he has not heard the need to sign a contract.

William smiled meaningfully: "In addition, there is a martial arts coach on my team who used to be Danhu's personal coach, and he is very familiar with Danhu's technical characteristics and various fighting styles. Danhu's team has also been trying to bring this person back, but this person has now joined my team, which means that if Mr. Wu Li wants to beat Danhu in the first match, signing with me is the wisest choice!"
