Dana White roughly finished talking about the rules of the knockout stage, and the specific details will be announced on the official website, and at this time there is already a heated discussion on the Internet:

"There are really a lot of tricks in this Fight World Cup. ”

"It's a very strategic format. ”

"I always felt that neither the special format of the group stage nor the new format of the knockout stage was really any special benefit for the U.S. team. On the contrary, according to the normal competition system, the United States team can give full play to its maximum advantage by comparing its comprehensive strength one game at a time. ”

"I think so too, I don't know what Dana White thinks. ”

"Maybe this format was developed by various countries together, just to limit the American team a little?"

"I think it's unlikely, the competition was provoked by Dana White, hosted by the UFC, and the teams from the rest of the countries were just invited, and it is unlikely that they are eligible to participate in the development of the competition system. ”

"Maybe the U.S. team is crazy and thinks that they can win the championship no matter how they play, and Dana White will come up with new tricks. ”

......

When many netizens were speculating about why Dana Bai came up with so many new tricks, Dana Bai walked out of the live broadcast room with a gloomy face.

A few minutes after he walked out, Dana White's mobile phone rang, and a UFC high-level call came.

"Downs. Dana White answered.

"Dana, why didn't you communicate with us in advance about the new rules of the knockout round?"

"Downs, it's just a small change, do you still need to hold a special board meeting?"

"No, no, Dana, we talked about the special format you developed in the group stage, it wasn't a format that was good for us, and we said at that time that the knockout stage would follow the normal format and no more changes, and now you're suddenly coming up with a new format. ”

"Downs, I came up with the new format to add freshness to the audience and increase the ratings for the game. And with the strength of the U.S. team, no matter what the format is, you can win. ”

"But Dana, you should at least talk to us about it in advance......"

"Okay Downs, I've got some things to do, we'll meet tomorrow, okay?"

“...... OK, you're busy first. ”

The two hung up the phone, and Dana Bai's face was a little ugly, and he walked back to his office quickly.

He tugged at his tie, and soon another phone call came.

"I watched the live broadcast just now, and it's good. A voice came from the other end of the line.

Dana Bai's face sank: "For this matter, many people on the board of directors are dissatisfied with me, I don't understand why you have to change the competition system to this?"

"In this kind of competition, the strong have more room to play. ”

“...... I can't understand you. ”

"You don't need to understand me, don't worry, what I promised you will do. ”

"Good. ”

The two hung up, and Dana White fell into deep thought.

It wasn't his idea to change the format, but the mysterious man he worked with asked him to agree to the format on the condition that he would help him host the second Fight World Cup.

The reason why this Fighting World Cup was held so smoothly was that as soon as Dana Bai sent out the news, many well-known fighting events around the world responded, including the mysterious man who helped out, which also made Dana Bai see the influence of the other party in the fighting circles of countries around the world, so he was willing to continue to cooperate with the other party.

As for the other party's tossing for a long time to let the strong have more room to play, this kind of thinking Bai Dana really can't understand, and he can't understand what the other party wants.

......

At the Boyuan Martial Arts Hall in New York, Wu Li was arranging the roster for the next game, and the rest of the people were listening.

Wang Kehan sat in the crowd with an embarrassed expression, there was no doubt that she would definitely not be on the list for the next match.

Originally, she jumped out and tore Wu Li apart, most of the reason was because she felt that the Huaguo team had no chance to qualify, and she couldn't play a few games anyway, so there was nothing to worry about. But now that the Huaguo team has qualified, the controversy about Wu Li on the Internet has temporarily stopped, so Wang Kehan immediately sat on the wax.

If he had known that the Huaguo team could qualify, Wang Kehan would definitely not want to have a stalemate with Wu Li, after all, fools know that the further the game goes, the higher the attention.

Now that the Huaguo team is out, Wang Kehan can't play, and the team chooses to ignore her whether it is training or everyone getting together to discuss anything, which makes her extremely embarrassed in the team. Take the initiative to leave, it's hard to explain to the outside world, but stay, it's like an air man in the team, it's too difficult.

"Next, it will be arranged by Coach Li. ”

After Wu Li announced the list, he took the initiative to go down and let Li Tongyun go up to speak.

Li Tongyun got up, came to everyone, and said simply and clearly: "In the next game, the key is two 2VS2 games, so I will arrange for you to have some coordinated training, and the next is the training plan......"

After announcing the training plan, everyone in the Huaguo team dispersed and began their own training.

"How is it, are you sure?" Wu Li walked towards Li Tongyun.

Li Tongyun's expression was calm: "Do your best." ”

Wu Li smiled: "Then you have to take care of it, after all, you are the protagonist in the next game." ”

......

On Nov. 1, 7 p.m., Madison Square Garden, where the knockout rounds of the Fight World Cup will be held.

Tonight's order of play is Brazil vs. Great Britain, Canada vs. Germany, USA vs. Netherlands, and China vs. Russia.

Although the U.S. team is the host, in terms of the excitement of the game, the official prediction is that the Chinese team and Russia should be the most intense, so this one is put last.

At 7:15, members of the Brazilian and British teams took to the field one after another.

At 7:30, the captains of both sides stood in the ring at the same time, each holding a microphone in his hand.

According to the new rules, it will be up to both sides to take turns deciding the order in which the players will play in this match.

Brazil have 16 points in the group stage, while Great Britain only have 12 points, so Brazil has the right to pick first.

"In the first game, we chose welterweight. ”

The captain of the Brazilian team, the legendary Spider Sival, said through the microphone.

So a line of subtitles quickly appeared on the big screen: First game, welterweight match.

Then it was the captain's turn of the British team to make a choice, he thought about it, took the microphone and said: "In the second game 2VS2, we will choose bantamweight and strawweight." ”

The subtitles on the big screen continue to increase, with the second line showing: Second Round, Bantamweight and Strawweight Match.

According to the rules of the competition, there can be no male and female players fighting in the knockout stage, so if 2vs2 is going to play female players, both must be female players.

Next up was the 2vs2 of the third game chosen by the Brazilian team, who chose the middleweight and heavyweight divisions.

In the remaining three individual games, the British team and the Brazilian team took turns to choose.

At this point, the order of tonight's game between the two teams has been decided, but the specific players have not yet been decided.

At this time, the spectators who were watching the game and the players of the rest of the teams also thoroughly understood the new rules of the knockout round through this mode.

The game started very quickly, the Brazilian team won the first game, took the lead to get a point, and then the second game, 2vs2, which was also the first 2vs2 game of this World Cup, everyone was looking forward to seeing what 2vs2 would look like.

The rules of the 2vs2 match are also different from the individual match, as long as the player falls out of the ring, he is eliminated. However, the 2vs2 competition is larger than the individual competition, and the original 100 square meters have been changed from 200 square meters, and it is a square ring with a side length of 20 meters. To that end, Madison Square Garden has prepared two rings for the competition tonight.

Soon, four female players stood in the ring, standing in pairs, and two referees stood on the field.

As the referee waved, the game began, and the players from both sides rushed forward almost at the same time!

The two sides immediately found their opponents and stood together.

After a few exchanges, one of the women of the British team suddenly abandoned her opponent and rushed to the opponent on the other side who was grappling with her teammate.

The Brazilian team was visibly stunned for a moment, and then strode to catch up, but still a beat slower. The two British women worked well together, with one desperately grabbing her opponent and the other rushing up and punching her opponent twice in the temple.

The audience exclaimed, after all, this is a scene that everyone has never seen before, and they feel novel and exciting at the same time.

Another Brazilian woman finally caught up and pushed one of the British women back, but her companion was hit twice on the temple, a little dizzy, and was caught by her opponent and fell to the ground, going into a ground battle.

On the other side, the female players of the British team hurriedly stepped forward to entangle the remaining Brazilian players and tried to divert the battlefield.

It was clear that the British side was premeditated, and after entering the ground battle, the British women's fighters quickly gained the upper hand and took advantage of their opponent's poor form to submit them.

The referee immediately signaled for Brazil to be eliminated by the submitted women, and the British players quickly got up and rushed to the other side.

The audience at the scene immediately shouted loudly, two to one, this is also a scene that has never appeared in the fighting ring, everyone is very excited!

The Brazilian team was clearly no match for the female players who were one-two against each other, and although they were unwilling to give up, they were still brought to the ground by two British players and submitted easily.

So far, the British team won the second game, scored 2 points at once, and overtook the Brazilian team in one fell swoop.

"Wow, this 2vs2 match looks more dangerous than the individual game. ”

"That is, if you're not careful, you're going to be a two-on-one, or you're being attacked, it's all about coordination and tactics. ”

"Not necessarily, I think a fierce person like Wu Li may not lose in one fight or two!"

"Yes, but there are also such fierce people in the Brazilian team, the Russian team or the American team, it depends on how they arrange their troops. ”

......

The first 2vs2 match ended, and the audience was in a heated discussion. Originally, the competition of the female players was worse than that of the male players in terms of excitement, but at this moment, after the four female players played, the audience felt that they were still unsatisfied and couldn't wait to see them play again.

The debut of the 2VS2 match aroused the interest of all the spectators.
