Chapter 18: First Hearing of Mixed Martial Arts

Seeing the senior brothers being picked up by the luxury bus, Wang Jin stood in the dust with a black face.

Why? Why can a professional player go to a plane, while a buddy can only wait for the bus? The difference is also too big, right, amateur fighters are so worthless?

"Ahem......"

Hou Chao, the young assistant next to him, couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Brother, don't be angry, our audition site is in the city center, you don't need to be so troublesome, you can get there for a dollar." ”

The "Iron Warriors" league was grandly opened in this province, and its influence was unprecedentedly huge, and the hall naturally attached great importance to the results of the game, so the coaches all rushed to the provincial capital with the team. Poor Wang Jin, an "amateur underage non-contracted" contestant, no one cared, so his cousin directly assigned him a "probationary novice assistant" to help with the competition.

Assistant Hou is only twenty-five years old this year, although his experience is a little worse, but fortunately, he has a gentle temper, and there is no problem for the two brothers to get along and communicate.

Wang Jin snorted: "The bus is the bus, the air is at least fresher than when they take the plane, and if you want to open the window, open the window......"

Assistant Hou laughed.

"Where are we going first?"

"Hospital ......"

The "Iron Warriors" League's sub-event "Rookie King" junior competition, the province is divided into four major areas at the same time, everything is carried out in accordance with strictness, modernization, transparency, the organizers require the contestants to prepare a physical examination report within seven days, including electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, blood pressure or something, the day before the game will also draw blood, urine for drug testing, to eliminate all the possibility of fraud.

While waiting for the test results, Wang Jin carefully studied the rules and regulations of the event.

There are rules for playing chess, there are rules for playing cards, and of course the fighters must understand the rules of the game, otherwise it will be tragic to be penalized and sentenced to lose.

- The match is an elimination system, with a total of three rounds of one minute each, with a one-minute break between rounds. Participants bring their own hand wraps, mouth guards, and crotch guards.

Straight, hook, swing, reverse back and other punching methods are allowed, and leg methods such as forward kicking, leg sweeping, whipping legs, and lower leg splitting are allowed; Elbow strikes and continuous knee strikes are prohibited.

It is forbidden to take the initiative to hold and fall, and it is allowed to fall with the legs, but the fall with the legs is not an advantage and does not count as a score;

It is forbidden to pull and throw the opponent out of the ring, it is forbidden to hit the back of the head, crotch, throat, it is forbidden to use ground-level and anti-joint techniques, it is forbidden to attack a fighter who is on the ground or with his back to him, etc., etc......

Well, there's nothing wrong with a proper kickboxing strike.

After a student saw the article "It is forbidden to throw the opponent out of the ring", his expression was very regretful, and he felt that it would affect the ratings......

In the afternoon, the Youth Square in the center of the city was densely packed with red flags, and there were so many people that it was difficult to even walk, and the lively scene scared the two brothers.

"God......" Wang Jin was dumbfounded.

Assistant Hou exclaimed: "Look, in the end, we have held a Sanda King Ring Tournament in Shunyang before, and the masses have a wide base, otherwise why would so many fighting enthusiasts participate." ”

Wang Jin was a little anxious, "Brother Monkey, will you sigh later?" Hurry up and sign up, I'll open the way for you in front! ”

Assistant Hou said: "Well, it's fortunate that you came, and I won't be able to kill it tomorrow......"

After tossing for more than two hours, after handing in their ID cards, physical examination reports, gym certificates, and personal insurance certificates, they got the temporary coach card and athlete listing for the competition, and also got the organizer's time schedule.

The specific process is as follows.

12th: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., seminar on event technology and rules, closed in the afternoon;

13th to 14th: simple training, 2 hours in the morning, 2 hours in the afternoon;

15th: Measure body weight at 10 a.m.; The preliminary round and knockout round will start at 3 p.m.

16th: Semi-finals at 10 a.m., regional finals at 7 p.m.

The hotel for this event is the City Yifan Hotel, and the venue is the Municipal Cultural and Sports Center.

Wow, staying in a hotel? The grade is quite high, Wang Jin can't help but be overjoyed.

Assistant Hou poured cold water on him and said: "Hehe, don't think that that place is very high-end, in fact, it is just a fast hotel." ”

Wang Jin was stunned and said, "Huh? Uh, TV stations always have to go live, right? I want everyone in the family to see it! ”

What to see? The results of their own "transformation".

Assistant Hou said: "Of course, the provincial station broadcasts live, but they broadcast professional fighters' games, and amateurs are not within the scope of broadcasting." In addition, it is also impossible for the market station to broadcast live, after all, there are too many shows and too long. Of course, there will always be a brief post-match report. ”

fell from heaven to the ground, and Wang Jin suddenly turned into an eggplant beaten by frost.

Assistant Hou was very funny: "Brother, what are you doing with a sad face?" After you reach the finals and win the Rookie King Award, do you still have no chance to show your face? What you should be focusing on right now is something else. ”

Wang Jin said: "What should I pay attention to? ”

Assistant Hou said: "Although there are many boxers participating in the Shunyang branch, it is very rare to have more than 90 kilograms, and there are only eight people!" In other words, before you even start the competition, you have a 12.5% chance of winning the championship! And, for every match you win, you'll get an extra prize of five hundred......"

Wang Jin calculated in a low voice: "Kill three guys in this station, and then kill the two champions of other stations in the finals, five five twenty-five, and I can earn 22,500 yuan even in the total bonus!" ”

"Uh......"

it! Assistant Hou's eyes almost flew away! Boy, dare to ask where you got your confidence?

(Eight into four, four into two, two into one, the quarterfinals are usually three.) The semi-finals are four into two and two into one, so there are five games in total. )

At nine o'clock the next day, the technical seminar site in the hotel's large conference room.

In a small sub-station elimination tournament, more than 200 young fighters signed up to participate, including various types of stand-up fighting genres, which can be called a full gathering.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Dian, I am the technical director of the "Predator" fighting league column, thank you Xinyue Satellite TV, Yici Real Estate, Cedar Wine, Qimeng Jewelry and other sponsor groups for their trust, I am really ashamed...... Let me explain to you in detail the rules of this league, as well as the precautions, thank you! ”

A middle-aged man about forty years old on the rostrum had just finished his opening remarks, and there was immediately an extremely warm applause and shouts from below!

Wang Jin frowned and said, "Huh? Who is this uncle, it seems to be very popular. ”

Assistant Hou said disdainfully: "Are you really a relative of Coach Zhao?" Why doesn't even Li Dian know? 'Quick Knife' Li Dian, the former champion of the 65 and 70 kg Sanda Championship. The head coach once fought with him three times, won two and lost one, and the one he lost was kicked by Li Dianzhong's leg and broke his left arm......"

Wang Jin said: "Oh, it's so powerful, I actually defeated my cousin......"

The hero is in the twilight, the years are unforgiving, the former Sanda King Lao Li is now also blessed, with a round face and double chin, a lovely smile, and he looks like an uncle next door, and he can't see a trace of the style of the boxing ring.

Assistant Hou said: "It's amazing, he also opened a famous MMA gym in the capital!" ”

Wang Jin was confused: "What do you call dwarf wood?" ”

Assistant Hou rolled his eyes: "My English pronunciation is so bad?" Ahem...... MMA is mixed martial arts, brother, you love wrestling, right? MMA can use any means to attack your opponent, such as grappling elbows, ground grappling, joint techniques, you can fight however you want! ”

"Uh, how can there be such a violent fighting program? I like it! Tsk, I really want to go and see it......"

As if he had received important information from another time and space, the lonely classmate Wang Jin was deeply shocked and muttered silently.

After the meeting, the brothers each received a blue T-shirt souvenir with the word "WKC" on it.

W, the first letter of "world" in English; K, the English initials of words such as kickboxing, kung fu, karate, etc.; C, which stands for China. It's simple, easy to remember, and easy to understand at a glance.

Creating its own branded merchandise is a very clever and commercial move by the organizers.

The way to make money in professional boxing is nothing more than tickets, broadcasts and other channels, and the toys, hats, clothing, shoes and other small things derived from the event brand are also a very important part of it. Think of the NBA-driven merchandise, whose enormous economic value is simply immeasurable......
