Chapter 324: The Hero Appears
On April 2, 2018 at 8 p.m., UFC made its China debut and the last fight of UFC Fight Night 134. In host Bruce Buffel's unique tone officially kicked off.
In order to take care of the Chinese audience, the competition also deliberately used two hosts, in addition to Bruce Buffel, there is also a Chinese host, that is, Chen Dong, who has helped Xiang Hero host a public training event before the event.
Chendong is wearing a red suit today, which looks particularly fashionable and handsome, and he and Bruce Buffy in a blue suit work very well in the octagon, but Bruce Buffel's voice is indeed more charming.
At this time, the lights of the audience slowly dimmed, which made the anxious and unbearable 108,000 spectators instantly excited, their faces were full of anticipation, and they kept stamping their feet and clapping and shouting, frantically calling the name of the "hero" in their hearts.
Among the many Chinese audiences, there is a small group of viewers who are the most eye-catching, they are the "Heroes League" of the heroes led by Yu Jinxuan, these excited fans, both men and women, have stickers with five-star red flags on both sides of their cheeks, and wear red T-shirts printed with the words "Heroes League".
Some of them held various posters of Xiang Heroes in their hands, some held two small five-star red flags, and some tall and strong boys waved larger five-star red flags in their hands.
There were four or five hundred people from the League of Heroes this time, all of whom were concentrated in the area at the front of the second floor of the P2 stall, and they happened to be next to Wenwen and the man with glasses.
Wenwen and the man with the eyes looked at these fanatical hero fans around them dumbfounded, and felt a burst of shame, it turns out that this is called "true love"!
At this moment, with a bang, a huge pillar of light was projected on the right channel of the fighter. Immediately following Xiang Hero's exclusive appearance song, "True Hero", sounded in the sky above the center.
Who are the real heroes
Bloodshed without tears
β¦β¦
Straighten your spine
Protecting my rivers and mountains is also calm
β¦β¦
Turning around, he clenched his fists
Defeat and victory are only a second
Just ask for no regrets and no resentments in your heart
As the song sounded, Xiang Yingying, accompanied by Coach Luo An, appeared in the place where the lights were shining.
"Whoa!"
"Hero! Hero! β

When the figure of Xiang Hero appeared, countless flashing lights flashed in the audience, and at the same time, warm applause and cheers erupted, and all the enthusiasm accumulated for more than three hours was ignited at this moment.
Even some relatively reserved film and television stars in the infield stood up and applauded Xiang Hero under the impetus of the atmosphere.
Today, Xiang Hero habitually wore a black Reebok T-shirt, draped the national flag as a cloak diagonally over his shoulders, and tied a knot under his armpits.
The reporters at the scene couldn't sit still, holding all kinds of fancy equipment in the press area, tiptoeing towards the boxer passage for a cute photo.
Those well-known media reporters who were allowed to shoot freely used video cameras and cameras to shoot Xiang Yingxing.
UFC China debut, also Xiang Hero's first domestic appearance after two years, to say that not excited is fake, at this time he was so excited that his breathing was a little short.
Coach Roan seemed to notice this, he patted Xiang Hero on the back and said in his ear: "Hero! See no, this is your stage, enjoy it! β
Hearing this, Xiang Yingying glanced around at the boiling audience, took a deep breath, and took a step towards the octagonal cage.
"Look! Big brother is out, big brother come on! Come on, big brother! Xibeier, who was sitting in the infield, stood up excitedly, watching Xiang Yingying's tall figure jumping and jumping, Xiang Wenjun, Wang Lulu, and a more reserved Qu Zimo also stood up and cheered.
"Uncle Shi! The aura of the hero is very sufficient! Kang Youpeng saw that Xiang Hero's pace was steady and his demeanor was relaxed, so he said to Qu Tiancheng, who was sitting beside him.
"Hmmm! This kid has really grown a lot in the past two years! Qu Tiancheng smiled and nodded.
At this time, in the commentary room of the event, Wang Yanbo also said excitedly: "Audience friends in front of the TV, the hero has finally appeared, and today's highlight is about to be staged, let's wait and see!" β
At the same time, UFC commentator Joe Rogan also commented to the global audience watching the live broadcast: "I was very surprised by the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans, and they gave a lot of encouragement and support to the fighters in the first 11 fights. Now that their country's fighter Xiang Hero is on the scene, they burst out with even more enthusiasm. Oh! It was so terrifying that more than 10,000 spectators in the audience were chanting the name of Xiang Hero. Listen to 'Heroes! ''Hero! This should be the Chinese pronunciation of hero. β
"It's a very lively atmosphere and hopefully when Luke Lockhold comes on, they'll give the necessary applause. I can only pray for Luke Lockhold not to be affected by the atmosphere and focus on the game. β
"There were a lot of so-called pundits who made all sorts of predictions before the game, and it was generally agreed that Luke Lockhead would have a better chance of winning a normal match, because Lockhold's skills are more comprehensive, but I prefer that the two are evenly matched, and the outcome of this game will depend on their technical and tactical development and execution in this game, as well as a little bit of luck."
By the time Joe Rogan was introduced, Xiang Hero had already gone through the process of equipment inspection, applying Vaseline, etc., and had just taken off Reebok's sports T-shirt.
The tattoo on the back of Xiang Hero was finally displayed in front of the eyes of audiences all over the world, but due to the light and angle, the audience in front of the TV did not see the content of the tattoo clearly, but clearly saw the eye-catching five-star red flag on Xiang Hero's left shoulder blade.
When Xiang Yingxing walked into the octagonal cage and raised his hand around the octagonal cage to greet the surrounding audience, the tattoo on his back clearly appeared in front of all the viewers who watched the live broadcast.
Although the audience at the scene was far apart, fortunately, six large screens were installed above the octagonal cage, so that all the audience could clearly see every detail.
Then there was the talk of toppling the roof of the center......
"Holy! How do I think the tattoo behind the hero is himself! β
"No, it won't! Aren't we dazzled! β
"Definitely not, who would tattoo themselves on their backs! Even narcissism doesn't go so far! β
Just when the audience was doubting their dazzle, a close-up of the tattoo on the back of Xiang Hero appeared on the big screen.
"Oh my God! It's true! β
"Oh God! He actually tattooed himself on his back! β
"That's cool! This dude is awesome! β
"Character! I like it! β
"To be honest, this tattoo is so cool, it's so cool."
Some guests and reporters who were familiar with Xiang Hero were also dumbfounded and looked at this strange tattoo, and it took a long time to come to their senses.
In particular, those Chinese reporters were like doping, their eyes were red, and they couldn't wait to rush to interview Xiang Yingying right now.
Tattoos are not particularly popular in China, and in the traditional concept, people with tattoos are the underworld, because in Hong Kong films in the eighties and nineties, Crazy Boys all have tattoos.
But with the integration with the world, there are more and more young people with tattoos in China, and there are also many celebrities who also tattoo a small piece of tattoo representing personality on their bodies, but they can't find a tattoo like Xiang Yingxing, let alone the strange idea of tattooing themselves on the back.
