Chapter 367: Champion Belonging

Just as Xiang Yingying was about to leave the octagonal cage, host Buffel pulled him back to do a simple interview.

"Hey! Hero! Had a great game today, how did it feel to get the right to challenge for the title? After Buffel finished speaking, he smiled and put the microphone to Xiang Yingying's mouth, waiting for Xiang Yingying's answer with a smile on his face.

"It's a great feeling!" Xiang Yingying said with some excitement.

"You've always been known for your striking skills, so today the crowd was amazed that you won by 'guillotine' submission of Ronaldo Sousa. Can you talk to us? Bufffield asked.

"Ronaldo Sousa is a grappling expert, he's a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with a record of 17 submissions or wins. So I added some targeted training to my preparation plan this time. And it was Coach Conan Silvia who coached me personally, and Coach Ding Thomas and Coach Roan sacrificed a lot of time to practice in person, so my Jiu-Jitsu level improved very quickly. Xiang Yingying said.

"It's only been a little over two months of training to be able to submit Ronaldo Sosa?" Buffel's expression was a little surprised.

"Although I am not good at using jiu-jitsu, it doesn't mean that I can't use jiu-jitsu, I am also a brown belt in jiu-jitsu, and after more than two months of intensive training, I can still use basic jiu-jitsu movements proficiently. For example, this 'guillotine', we analyzed before the fight that the only way for Ronaldo Sosa to beat me is to drag me into a ground fight, so he will definitely use diving takedowns a lot. ”

"Therefore, I specially practiced this trick 'guillotine', just to deal with his diving and falling, and everyone saw that I succeeded!" Xiang Yingying smiled and shrugged his shoulders after speaking.

After a brief interview, Xiang Yingying and the others returned to the locker room. At this time, two officials from the London Sports Commission walked in and asked for a urine sample from Xiang Hero for random testing.

This is not the first time that Xiang Hero has checked the urine sample after the game, and he took the container and walked to the toilet in the rest room, but the two officials followed closely behind, looking like they were going to stare at Xiang Hero to take a sample.

After glaring at them speechlessly, Xiang Yingying reluctantly completed the sampling under the supervision of the two.

After taking a simple shower and changing clothes, Xiang Yingying sneaked to the infield and sat next to Qu Zimo and Xibeier.

Seeing this, Xibeier was about to shout excitedly, and Xiang Yingying hurriedly said: "Don't make trouble, watch the game first." After Xiang Yingying finished speaking, he smiled at Qu Zimo and said, "When the game is over, I invite you to go to Chinatown for supper!" ”

Qu Zimo pursed his lips and nodded with a smile when he heard this, and cast his eyes into the octagonal cage.

At this point, Michael Bispin and Robert Vitekel were already beside referee Big John, and the championship match was about to kick off, and Xiang Hero's next opponent was about to be announced.

With a height of 1.88 meters and an arm span of 1.93 meters, Michael Bisping is one of the highest-paid fighters in MMA history. Football, rugby, swimming, canoeing, and martial arts are all his hobbies.

He is a two-time British National Professional Kickboxing Lightweight Champion, one of Britain's top lightweight fighters, and was once hailed as "The Hope of Great Britain." Before entering the UFC, he worked in factories, slaughterhouses, and demolition companies, as well as a postman, mason, and salesman.

In addition to some luck, he was able to become the middleweight champion of the UFC, and his perseverance also has a lot to do with it, although his rhetoric is not pleasant, and the relationship with many fighters is not good, but this does not erase his strength, and being able to win the UFC middleweight championship at the age of 37 already speaks for himself.

The opponent he faced today was Robert Vitekel. Originally from Australia, Robert Vitekel is 27 years old, with a height of 1.83 meters and an arm span of 1.88 meters, and is a very typical kickboxer with a striking skill worthy of a hero.

Robert Vitekel is still young, but he already has a lot of experience in the game. He's the welterweight winner of "The Ultimate Fighter" Australia vs. Great Britain, but he didn't have a great record after entering the UFC, losing two straight fights. He then left his gym in Canada to return to his native Australia to train and move up from welterweight to middleweight. Having no longer had to expend a lot of energy to lose weight, Vitekel has also improved dramatically and has performed even better.

Not only did he knock out fellow middleweight elite Derrick Bernson in the first round in his hometown, but he also knocked out Ronaldo "Crocodile" Sousa, one of the most feared middleweight fighters in the second round.

With this streak in mind, he unbelievably battled Yul "God Warrior" Romero, one of the UFC's top middleweight divisions, for five rounds before winning the UFC Middleweight Interim Title with a unanimous decision of 3 48-47.

And today, he's challenging the current UFC middleweight champion Michael "The Lord" Bispin as interim champion.

After the start of the match, both men played more cautiously, neither rushing to attack, but just constantly testing their opponents.

Although Bispin has the advantage in height and reach, his striking skills are still a certain gap to Robert Viteker, and he is forced to fight on the perimeter by Robert Viteker's more aggressive style of play.

But Robert Vitekel doesn't take things lightly, knowing that Bispin is a very experienced fighter and that if he is allowed to take his chances first, he will be passive.

After a relatively dull two minutes, Robert Vitekel took the lead and pressed Bispine with a combo of punches and kicks. Bispin, on the other hand, took advantage of his height and arm length, and while very skillfully controlling the distance between the two sides, he kept harassing with his jabs, and from time to time he pumped cold shots to get a low kick or two and a mid kick.

With a minute left to go to the back left of the first round, Bispin seized the opportunity to dive for a takedown and a ground-and-ground clash with Robert Viteker. After more than 30 seconds of tangling on the ground, Robert Vitekel used his Circle Wall technique to get out of the entanglement and get back to square one. And at this time, the first round of the game is over.

After the start of the second round, Bisping went from strength to strength, putting Robert Vitekel under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, Robert Vitekel's defense was very solid, allowing Bispine's offense to not make any real difference, and he also caught two opportunities to throw a pair of punches, which caused a lot of damage to Bispine.

At the start of the third round, Robert Vitekel launched an onslaught, and Bispin fought back, trying to take Robert Vitekel down several times, but to no avail.

Finally, near the end of the third round, Robert Vitekel seized an opportunity to hit Bispin with a backhand that knocked Bispin to the canvas and then knocked him out on the spot before chasing him and became the new UFC middleweight gold medalist.

When Robert Vitekel won, Xiang stood up suddenly, pointed at Robert Vitekel in the Octagon and yelled, "Robert Viteker!" ”

Robert Vitekel looked at Xiang Hero when he heard this, and saw Xiang Hero at a glance, he snorted coldly, pointed at Xiang Hero with a resolute face and shouted: "Xiang Hero! ”

Both sides only called each other's names and didn't say anything, but the fierce fighting intent in the eyes of the two was clear at a glance.

Seeing this, the audience and reporters at the scene took out their mobile phones one after another to freeze this classic moment.
