Chapter 532: Stubborn Hero

At 5 p.m. on November 28, the Quickloan Center Arena, which can accommodate 20,000 people at the same time, officially opened.

Among the many local Cleveland fans, there is a small group of fans who stand out, and they are the international students studying in the United States, and these enthusiastic international students, who have traveled as far as the United States, have come to witness this historic moment with their own eyes.

They had stickers of five-star red flags on both sides of their cheeks, and some tall and strong boys had several five-star red flags in their hands that they could wave.

Most of the seats in the gym's incourt are empty, and these self-contained VIPs won't be seated until the bout is about to begin, and that's the power of privilege.

At this time, the busiest people in the stadium of the Quick Loan Center are the UFC staff and media reporters. The staff were busy with the subsequent preparations, while the media reporters were busy catching targets everywhere, because by the time the competition began, most of the reporters would be confined to the interview area, and only a few qualified reporters would be allowed to move around for interviews.

With half an hour to go, some celebrities in the martial arts world, sports stars, and movie and television stars also entered the arena in groups, chatting and laughing, waiting for the start of the match.

This super fight has welcomed a lot of fighting stars, and it can be said that all the champions of all levels of the UFC are present. In addition, those fighters who had fought with Xiang Yingying also came to the scene one by one. Of course, the largest number of fighters are still heavyweights, with almost half of the top 20 and even more of the top five.

Some of them sat together, while others sat alone in their seats and communicated with their female companions. Among them was Rico Verhoeven and his coach Phil, who was tall and handsome, and immediately attracted the attention of the media.

After a while, a veteran Fox reporter and a photojournalist came up to Verhoeven's seat and asked, "Mr. Verhoeven, can you do a simple interview?" ”

Verhoeven, who was used to the camera, smiled and nodded, anyway, he was here to cheer for Xiang Hero today, and he didn't care about being interviewed for a while.

The reporter was very excited to see Verhoeven's agreement, since he learned that Verhoeven personally did a hero's sparring partner and stayed in the hero camp for more than a month, the world's media wanted to interview him, but Verhoeven refused all interviews after returning to the Netherlands.

This is equivalent to the first interview with the media after he helped Xiang Yingying prepare for the war, how can this reporter not be excited.

"Mr. Verhoeven, I'm sure fans all over the world are curious, why did you do a sparring partner for Xiang Ying?" The reporter asked curiously.

"Damn heroes!" Verhoeven replied with a smile while sneering at Xiang Hero, "Isn't it normal for friends to help each other?" ”

When the reporter heard this, he felt like a punch in the air, and he was so depressed that he was going to die, so he asked unwillingly: "Fans are very curious, why did Xiang Yingying ask you to be a sparring partner?" It's no secret that you're the best kickboxer in the world and a Glory heavyweight champion, and now that Xiang Hero has approached you as a sparring partner, he's definitely looking for a breakthrough in kickboxing. Can you comment on Xiang Ying's striking skills? ”

"Xiang Yingying has also won the Glory Fighting Championship, so his striking skills are definitely some of the best in the world. He's the most talented and hard-trained martial artist I've ever met. He's got a steely will, a strong physique, and I'm glad he's gone. Verhoeven unabashedly praised Xiang Hero.

"So what do you think the heroes of this game should pay attention to, or what tactics should they use? Also, can you predict the outcome of this super battle? The reporter asked.

"Miocic is a very good MMA fighter, but Xiang Yingying is even better, so as long as Xiang Yingying plays at a normal level, he can win this fight." Verhoeven said with a smile.

"Thank you for your time! Have a nice night. After the reporter finished speaking, he left satisfied.

At this time, the seats in the infield are basically full. Tang Mu and Qu Zimo sat in the first and second rows respectively with a large army of more than a dozen people. Such a top-level seat, except for the three free tickets, the others were bought at his own expense after Xiang Hero asked Dana Bai to say hello, which cost him tens of thousands of dollars.

"Gentlemen! Ladies! Good evening, UFC 248 match ......" The world-renowned superfight officially kicked off as host Bruce Buffel's unique tone resounded through the venue.

First up was the lead card, and tonight's lead card was particularly exciting, with a pair of brave fighters battling bloodily inside the Octagon Cage, leaving the crowd excited and cheering.

Just when the game was in full swing, in the preparation lounge, Mitte, Boris and others were helping Xiang Hero make final preparations.

Boris's hand-wrapping skills were very good, and while helping Xiang Hero to wrap his hands, he asked with some concern: "Hero! Did you really decide to do that? ”

Xiang Yingying smiled when he heard this, nodded and said very firmly: "That's right! I decided. ”

Boris saw that Xiang Hero was so determined, and he wanted to stop talking. Seeing this, Mitte said loudly: "Don't worry! Boris, you didn't watch the actual combat training of the hero this kid and Verhoeven, he is fine. ”

Boris glanced at Mitte speechlessly, although he was very happy that Xiang Yingying returned to the hero camp, he also knew that he and Mitte were included. Although they have improved a lot in recent years, there is still a gap between their coaching level and world-class coaches.

If you meet a relatively weak opponent, the role of the coach is not so prominent, but when you meet an opponent of equal strength, then the role of the coach is very large. A good coach must be good at identifying and correcting problems in the game, which is the measure of a coach's professionalism, but he doesn't think they have it.

What's more, Xiang Yingying wants to play this game in a crazy way. Boris still remembers that when he first learned about Xiang Yingxing's plan, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, thinking that Xiang Yingying was either a madman or too confident in his own strength.

But Boris also knows that as long as Xiang Hero believes in something, he will never change, not to mention that Mitte, who has no heart and lungs, is still very supportive.

Now I can only hope that once Xiang Hero finds out that the situation is wrong, he can change his tactics in time and not go all the way to the black ......
