Chapter 179: A True Beast
Bruce Lee, it was he who made all kinds of genres and all kinds of martial arts appear in the same arena and compete fairly and justly.
"Oh ~ Bruce Lee!" Jon exclaimed, it seemed he didn't know about it.
"Yes! Bruce Lee was a great man, a man who went down in history! I am sure that you will be respected and respected by people all over the world. Bell said seriously and seriously.
"Haha, don't say that. I don't dare compare myself to such a great man as Bruce Lee! Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but smile when he received this sycophancy, and he was also a lot more kind to Bell.
"Please go this way, I'll take you to meet my friend, an equally great MMA player, the Amazing Beast!" Bell chatted with Zhou Shaoming by the iron cage for a while, and then wanted to take him to meet Dan Saiwen.
“ok! Let's go. Zhou Shaoming suddenly felt interested in MMA mixed martial arts, and followed Bale to the fighters' lounge.
Before he walked into the lounge, Zhou Shaoming heard a dull "pounding" sound, which should be the sound of the contestant hitting the sandbag with heavy punches.
A strong man with a height of 1.88 meters and a weight of nearly 100 kilograms came into view, with a very thick mustache, and was frantically slamming into the sandbags.
"Bang!" A heavy punch slammed into the sandbag, which shook violently, showing the tremendous power of the punch just now.
"Hey! My beast! It seems to be in good shape. When Bell saw him, he laughed, and then reached out and gave the strong man a firm hug.
"Bell, are you here? Hehe, who is this? Dan Saiwen also smiled heartily, and responded warmly with Bell, seeing Zhou Shaoming standing with a smile on the side, he couldn't help but ask in wonder.
"This is the most respected director in the country, Mr. Smith Chow. This is Mr. Jon from Lionsgate, they are my friends, and today we are here to cheer you on! Bell smiled and introduced Zhou Shaoming to Dan Saiwen.
"Hehe, hello, Mr. Great Director!" Dan Saiwen extended his hand to Zhou Shaoming in a friendly manner.
Shaking the huge, furry hand like a fan, Zhou Shaoming smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Dan Saiwen, I hope you can defeat your opponent today!" ”
Staring at his eyes seriously, Zhou Shao carefully looked at this famous beast in MMA history.
Dan Saiwen's face has many wounds left by fighting in the ring, and he is nearly fifty years old. Although he carefully cleaned up his face, it made the scars and marks more visible.
It should be the corners of the mouth that have been repeatedly hit by heavy punches, and there are some deformations; Thin and tightly pursed lips, thick and protruding forward, under the two slightly sparse sword eyebrows, deeply sunk into some black eye sockets, eyes sharp like a cold sword, even with a smile, as if with an aggressive momentum, has always been unstoppable.
Instead of wearing his hair long and tied it in all sorts of strange hairstyles in order to attract attention and attention, like other MMA aspiring young fighters, he conservatively cut it short, which makes people feel a sudden sense of danger in front of him, like being targeted by a wild beast.
He's looking at my neck, ready to leap up, and then grab me like a tiger!
Zhou Shaoming suddenly had that feeling of danger.
Dan Saiwen listened, but there was no happy expression on his face, just sighed and pinched his muscular left shoulder hard.
"What's wrong?" Bell felt that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.
"I wanted to win this fight so badly, I sprained my shoulder in training yesterday." Dan Saiwen's eyes were a little wandering, but he quickly regained his determination.
"Sprained? What does your doctor say? Will it affect the game? Bell was a little nervous, and Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but be a little worried.
At this time, two people came into the lounge, obviously knowing Bell, and greeted him one after another.
"Ask him, I think I can!" Dan Severn twisted his head and began to warm up by pounding the punching bag again.
After saying hello, Bell hurriedly pulled Dan Saiwen's personal doctor and asked, "The beast has a sprained shoulder, it doesn't affect his game, right?" ”
"Professionally, the game can be played, but the injury will seriously affect his performance. I advised him not to play this game and to wait until he was healed. But he wouldn't listen to me. The doctor's face was very unsightly, and he spread his hands in frustration, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"Beast, if you barely go into battle with injuries, you can't win at all, so why bother? Why don't you explain the situation to the organizing committee and come back after resting? Bell, who understood the situation, turned his head and suggested to Dan Severn.
"Nope! My dream is to be in the Hall of Fame! But I'm missing a win, a championship right now! Today, I have to fight for my dreams, and I will not quit! Dan shook his head vigorously and threw another punch, knocking the sandbag into a flurry as he frowned and twisted his shoulders vigorously.
"You can rest and come back again......" Before Bell could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dan Saiwen, whose surname was as hot as fire: "I said, no! In 1997, I was submitted by Mark Coleman in the MMA12 trial, and in 2000 I was easily defeated by Pedro Rizzo in the MMA27 "The Ultimate Bad Boy" fight. They all said I was old and I couldn't do it anymore. ”
Lowering his head, Dan Severn held a mixed martial arts newspaper and said, "Tonight, the 49-year-old beast will face the 24-year-old Iron Man Travis?" Fulton, it's going to be a sparkling game. But we can foresee that the 49-year-old beast will no longer be able to unleash the beast in his heart, and the 24-year-old Travis will let him know what it means to be an iron man who breaks the teeth of a beast! ”
The hand holding the newspaper trembled slightly, and Zhou Shaoming noticed that the back of his hand protruded with thick and swollen blood vessels, which were the hands that had been battered by the vicissitudes of life, and the slightly deformed knuckles were rolled up, tightly grasping the newspaper that made him a little out of shape.
The blood vessels on the arm that have been rapidly expanding and recovering again and again are no longer the bullet surnames of their youth, and the nose, which is constantly expanding because of anger, is a little crooked to the side, which is the wound left by someone breaking the bridge of the nose.
In front of him, he is like a dying old wolf who has been driven out of the pack, although his majesty exists, but it will soon disappear.
Angrily tearing the newspaper apart, Dan Severn stood up and yelled angrily: "Although I am 49 years old! But the dream in my heart is not dead! I'm going to get this championship and get into the MMA Hall of Fame. By winning this fight, I can fulfill my dream and no matter what happens, I must keep fighting! ”
Zhou Shaoming was silent on the side, and the tall Dan Saiwen in front of him was really like a tiger out of the gate, and his momentum was amazing!
"But ...... your injuries"
"Don't mention my injuries again! I know with my own body that no matter what, I'm going to take this fight like the last game of my life. I've got to play, and I've got to win! Dan Severn said this firmly, sat down on the bench, his waist straight, slowly put on the finger gloves, and then crossed his thick fingers and closed his eyes.
The expression on his face was extremely determined, as if he was about to go to a bloody and cruel battlefield, even if he was a warrior who would sacrifice his life.
Bell wanted to persuade him again, but Zhou Shaoming patted him on the shoulder, stopped his words, and said with great feeling: "For Mr. Dan Saiwen, this is not an ordinary game. This is a battle to realize your dreams, break through yourself, and decide your life in life. Even if it is covered in bruises, even if it is blood splashed on the spot, you must use your last strength for the flame in your heart that will not be extinguished. ”
Bell looked at the thoughtful Zhou Shaoming in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Mr. Dan Severn, go forward for your dreams! Beat your opponent and let him know that the heart that desires the championship is the real beast! Zhou Shaoming's eyes were bright, his tone was firm, and he encouraged passionately.
"Thank you!" Dan Saiwen opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Shaoming very gratefully: "Before this game, all I heard was ridicule and ridicule, no one thought I would win, and no one encouraged me like you." They always say that I am old and that I should go home and live out the rest of my life well. But as you said, the flame in my heart has not been extinguished, and I will let that guy know that the heart that longs for the championship will always be a beast! ”
Zhou Shaoming, Jon and Bell sat in the VIP seat at the top of the box, only about half a meter away from the barbed wire fence of the cage fight, and they could even feel the sweat of the fighters in this position, which was of course the ideal viewing position.
By this time, a large number of spectators had already entered the stadium, and as soon as they found their seats, they happily chatted about today's game, constantly throwing popcorn into their mouths.
And Bell was always a little uneasy, he always felt that Dan Saiwen's injury would affect his game, and Zhou Shaoming suddenly interjected to encourage, which would make Dan Saiwen misestimate the situation, you must know that he is really 49 years old now!
Facing a 24-year-old young man who is in the prime of his life and is known as an iron man, coupled with an injury, he will really lose if he is not sure, and it will seriously hit Dan Saiwen's self-confidence.
"Do you really think it's the right thing to do to encourage the beast?" Bell thought about it for a long time, and he was irritable, so he could only ask Zhou Shaoming, who was sitting on the side eating popcorn.
"Yes, this is an extremely technical and physical sport, the beast is injured, I think it is better to ensure safety." Jon was on the side, too.
"I think there's nothing wrong with encouraging someone who pursues their dreams!" Zhou Shaoming continued to throw a popcorn into his mouth, and said seriously: "Only by pouring cold water and using self-prognosis and cynicism to hit other people's confidence is wrong!" ”
