Washington, D.C., inside a personal training gym.

A man with blond hair and blue eyes and a handsome face was wrapped in a sealed box, with only his head exposed.

He closed his eyes, his face was pale, his lips were dry, and he looked like he hadn't drunk water in days.

"Hold on for another ten minutes, then come out and rest. ”

A big black man on the side said to the man while looking at the time.

He is the coach of the men, and the man is Danhu, who is ranked sixth in the UFC lightweight division.

At this moment, Danhu is dehydrating and losing weight, and his whole person is soaked in a closed container, which is a reverse osmosis solution, using the principle of high osmotic pressure of the high-concentration solution to make the water flow to the high-concentration solution, and finally achieve the effect of a large amount of dehydration of the human body.

UFC fighters' weight is generally divided into four stages: the first stage is daily weight, which is generally in injury recovery or regular training, and the fighters are also willful in their diet, but not overdone.

The second stage is the preparation period, where the training volume is significantly improved, and the diet is also scientifically planned, and the players will lose excess fat during this time.

The third stage is dehydration before the game, 70% of the human body is water, and a certain proportion of the human body is excreted by steaming or soaking in a high-concentration solution. This process has to be repeated several times, just like heat stroke, and it will not give you water if you have repeated heat stroke. So this is a stage where many fighters lose weight to cry and collapse, and some fighters even go into shock or die because of this.

The fourth stage is the on-the-field weight, and after dozens of hours of recovery, the player's weight can generally return to the weight before the end of the preparation period or dehydration.

Danhu's regular weight is about 80KG, the week before the race, his weight dropped to 75KG, and in the following week, he lost nearly 10 pounds through extreme dieting and diuresis, and now he is in the third stage, that is, dehydration before the game.

Tomorrow is the weighing ceremony, Danhu is doing the final dehydration, and his weight has dropped to almost 70KG at this time.

Intense hunger, weakness, thirst, lightheadedness, and muscle soreness after a lot of exercise, it seems that every cell in the body is sounding an alarm, like a sports car that is completely overloaded and about to fall apart.

This kind of experience is enough to make an ordinary person completely collapse, and Danhu has to endure a night, and he will not be able to start a large amount of hydration until tomorrow after participating in the weighing ceremony, and this willpower has actually surpassed that of most athletes.

UFC fighters lose and gain weight before a fight, and Danhu is a leader in this area, losing an average of 5.2 kilograms by weighing the limit weight of the previous week. And within 32 hours of weighing, he can regain an average of 6.8 kilograms!

This kind of weight control ability is actually quite terrifying, because it is equivalent to his weight before and during the game, and he jumped directly by an order of magnitude!

What is a dimensionality reduction strike? This is a dimensionality reduction strike!

"Okay, that's it. ”

The black coach said to Danhu, and then helped Danhu get up from the closed container.

Danhu struggled to get up, looking a little shaky, and the black instructor helped him wipe his body clean, and then helped him to stand on an electronic scale.

155.3 lbs.

Seeing this number, Danhu frowned, his expression was a little painful, and he was still a little bit off target.

He must need to replenish some water before he weighs himself tomorrow, otherwise he may not be able to stand steadily, so he must ensure that his weight is under 70kg tonight.

"Looks like it's going to have to be one more time. The black coach on the side patted Danhu on the shoulder, "This should be the last time." ”

Dan Hu didn't even have the strength to complain, and nodded with a bitter face, even though he had gone through this process many times, he still felt like he was about to die every time, it was too painful......

On the other hand, Wu Li is also dehydrating and losing weight.

Compared to Danhu, it was the first time for Wu Li to experience such pain, but his willpower was completely fine, compared to the use of the grandmaster-level experience card, the kind of pain that had to concentrate all his spirit every second to fight against the system's fist intent, the pain experienced at this time was relatively comfortable, but it lasted longer.

"OK, no problem,"

The nutritionist invited by Wu Li said to him, and Chen Gang on the side suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh my god, I've found out now that none of the lines are easy. ”

He witnessed the whole process of Wu Li's weight loss, although Wu Li behaved lightly, he felt a little painful just watching from the side. Thinking about the fact that those fighters in the UFC have to go through such a process before every fight, that's why he makes such a feeling.

Wu Li looked like he had lost a lot of weight at this time, but his spirit was not bad, and he smiled: "It's really not easy." ”

In the past month, he has completely consumed the time of the previous A-level virtual battle card, and the progress of Haw Par Lei Yin is very fast, while losing weight and changing the marrow, Wu Li has a feeling that his body density has increased significantly, so the strength and explosiveness brought by weight loss have decreased, and the degree is not as great as Wu Li imagined, it is foreseeable that when his weight recovers, his own strength and explosiveness will definitely be stronger than before.

"Your body is amazing, the inside of your body is so good!"

More than once, the nutritionist from Spain has praised Wu Li like this.

The process of changing the marrow is to continuously strengthen one's internal organs, and weight loss and dehydration are also testing the continuous circulation ability of the five internal organs of the contestants.

If an organ is weakened, it will show up in weight loss and dehydration, and then when you regain weight, your combat effectiveness will also be weakened: resistance to hits, movement speed, technical strike output, physical distribution, sustained endurance, etc., all of which will be affected. And when the athlete's internal organs are strong enough, they can withstand the test of weight loss and dehydration, and after regaining weight, they can maintain their best performance on the court.

Wu Li has been accelerating his marrow process through the virtual battle card, and in the past month and a half, his internal organs have been strengthened, so when he began to lose weight due to dehydration in the past few days, his performance in all aspects after weight loss was not much worse than the data during the preparation period, which made his nutritionist call him an expert.

How could he have imagined that someone could continue to make progress in a short period of time, so that the body function after weight loss was not much weaker than before weight loss.

In addition to Yi Marrow, Wu Li, the two grandmaster-level experience cards in his hand, has also been used, used to hone his fist intent, and fight Hu Shan in the virtual reality, Wu Li's fist intent has obviously surpassed Hu Shan, and he can almost win seven times in ten fights.

It can be said that Wu Li at this time can be regarded as the veritable first in Southeast Asia!

Despite the certainty of a victory over Danhu, Wu Li did not take it lightly and did his best before the match, now just waiting for the match to begin.

......

Dec. 2, 9 a.m.

Washington, Montreal Coliseum.

It was a stadium with a capacity of 50,000 people, and there were almost 10,000 people in the stadium at this time.

A raised platform was erected in the center of the stadium, and behind it was a giant screen that read 'UFC 254, Pre-Fight Weighing Ceremony'.

Reporters took their seats under the high platform and set up their cameras, while the audience sat in their seats under the high platform.

"That's a lot of people. ”

In the fourth row of seats below the high platform, a girl with a ponytail whispered that she spoke Chinese.

"That is, many Chinese people today are specially coming to see Wu Li. ”

Next to the ponytail sat a young man, with a bright five-star red flag printed on the left side of his face, "There should be a lot of people in our school to come and see." ”

"Really?"

Ponytail looked around to see if there were any acquaintances around, and the young man next to her took the opportunity to secretly look at her.

Both of them are Chinese students, alumni of the same university, and met by chance on the campus network.

The young man knew that the girl was a fan of Wu Li, and he happened to be very interested in the UFC, so he had an idea, bought two tickets to watch the weighing ceremony, and plucked up the courage to invite the girl to come to see Wu Li live.

Sure enough, the girl agreed.

A burst of energetic music suddenly sounded, and the scene burst into cheers.

The young man was shocked and said to the ponytail next to him, "It's started!"

So the two looked up at the high platform, and a strong man in a black T-shirt walked out of the left backstage with a microphone, shouting loudly as he went.

"Guys, welcome to the UFC 254 weigh-in ceremony!"

"Smith, today's weighing referee, please!"

"UFC President Dana White, please!"

Amid the sound of music and cheers, two people appeared in the backstage from the right one after another, and one of the bald men was UFC president Dana White.

He picked up the microphone and said hello to the audience below, laughed a few words, and then the host announced the official start of the weighing ceremony.

"The first fighter is on the stage, he's a middleweight, Ewen from Brazil!"

A black man trotted out of the backstage on the left, greeting the audience as he ran.

There was applause from the audience, but the reaction was not enthusiastic enough, and it was obvious that the player's reputation was average after all.

"This is a player who is in the lead card, and he is not well-known. The young man in the audience took the opportunity to introduce the girl next to him.

"What is the lead match?" The ponytail girl only paid attention to the UFC because of Wu Li, and she didn't know much about the UFC.

"The vice match is a game that will not be broadcast live on TV, and the players' fame and strength are relatively poor, while the main match will be broadcast live on TV, and they are all well-known players who can get a TV share. The young man patiently explained.

"Then there's the main event, which has only one game per session, and it's the most important game, which is played at the end. The main event of each issue is almost always the most exciting and the best-looking. ”

Ponytail's eyes lit up: "Is Wu Li's game the main event?"

The young man smiled and nodded: "Yes, the match between him and Danhu is the main event of this issue, and this is the second Chinese person who is eligible to be on the main tournament after Zhang Weili!"

"That's amazing!" the girl said coquettishly.

The young man nodded, "That's it, Kung Fu Man, if you want me to say that the nickname of Kung Fu Man is really not good, Kung Fu Tiger, Kung Fu Dragon or something, it's better than this." ”

As the two talked, the weighing continued on the stage, and the electronic screen behind the player played the highlights of the player's past matches, and the player also stood on the electronic scale, and the referee went over to read it and then announced the result.

"184 pounds, pass!" the host shouted.

Amid cheers, the contestant shook hands with Dana White and then moved backstage to the right.

Then the next player comes on the field, the host introduces, the big screen plays the highlights of the game, and then weighs, announces the results, and exits.

I didn't know any of these players on the stage, and I didn't know any of the ponytail girls, and after watching a few, I felt a little bored.

The young man on the side has been quietly observing the girl, and after seeing the other party's boredom, he took the initiative to find a topic.

"Do you know why these people aren't weighed before they play, but a day before?"

The girl turned her head, "Why?"

The young man smiled: "Because in a fighting match, the heavier the weight, the more advantageous it is, so the fighters will try their best to compete in low-weight competitions, and weight loss is inevitable." Regardless of the rules and weight classes, there is no way to avoid the extreme approach that some fighters will take to the extreme in pursuit of extreme weight loss. After the weight loss, the fighters have just been dehydrated and are in a very weak state, and the fight will not be exciting if they continue to fight in such a state. Doing the opposite, giving players a uniform recovery time can make the game more exciting, and also make weight control and recovery ability an indicator of a player's ability. ”

The ponytail girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and smiled at the young man: "You know a lot." ”

"Haha, it's okay, I usually follow the UFC a lot. ”

was praised by the girl, and the young man suddenly burst into joy and touched his nose embarrassedly.

"What if these players fail to pass the weigh-in?" the girl asked.

Seeing that the girl took the initiative to start the topic, the young man was even more excited, and said confidently: "This is also a rule, non-championship battles can be overweight by 1 pound, and then weigh after two hours, if you are not qualified, ask for the opponent's opinion, if the opponent does not agree, then the game is canceled." If agreed, the overweight fighter will need to give 20% of the tournament payout to his opponent. ”

So, in order not to be overweight, a lot of interesting things happened during the weighing ceremony: there were tooth extractions, and there were chewing gum spit just through. ”

Speaking of this, the young man suddenly laughed evilly: "There are also female players who weigh just a little more, and in order to pass the weighing, they directly stripped naked on the scale." ”

"Huh?" the girl's eyes widened and her face turned red, "Is this okay?"

"Someone covered her with a cloth in front of her. The young man laughed.

"That's right. "The girl is a little embarrassed.

At this time, there happened to be a female player on the stage, thinking of the joke that the young man said just now, the girl looked at the stage with a strange gaze, I don't know whether she was shy or expectant.

In the end, the female players on the stage passed the weighing, and the young man was a little regretful, and today's weighing ceremony felt very decent.

"Please bantamweight from Huaguo, Kung Fu Monkey, Song Yidong!"

The host shouted loudly, and the cheers were now much louder.

Many of the people who came to the scene to watch the weighing ceremony today are Chinese students, and they are mainly from Wu Li, but they still give great enthusiasm to Song Yidong, who is also a Chinese.

"Song Yidong, before Wu Li appeared, he was the most promising person to break into the official UFC rankings. The young man introduced the girl.

The girl looked at Song Yidong, who was wearing a pair of black shorts on the stage, and made an evaluation in her heart: The figure is good, but there is no Wu Lishuai.
