Chapter 531: Optimal Weight
After the press conference, Xiang Yingying entered the final preparation adjustment stage, and tomorrow he will be weighed before the game.
But this time it was the easiest thing the hero had ever been, because he didn't have to worry about the painful weight loss, let alone eat the unpalatable weight-loss nutritious meal, let alone endure the pain of less salt and dehydration.
Because this time the hero doesn't have to lose weight at all. His weight at this time is 112 kg, and the weight range of the FC heavyweight class is 205 lbs~265 lbs (92.5kg~120.2kg), so there is still a lot of leeway.
However, the heavyweight competition does not mean that the heavier the weight, the better, it mainly depends on the weight of the most suitable athlete, and what kind of weight can maximize the athlete's technique, speed, resistance and physical fitness.
Stipp Mioci weighs more than Xiang Hero and is about the same height, just 7 centimeters longer in his arm span. In fact, Mioqi's arm span is not too long, mainly because the arm span of Xiang Hero is only 5 cm more than his height.
Moreover, after this weight gain, Xiang Yingxing's body fat content is slightly more than when he was in the light heavyweight division, which further improves his ability to resist blows. This is because proper subcutaneous fat can better absorb external forces and protect organs and bones.
In fact, in order to adapt to the competition weight of 112 kilograms, Xiang Yingying really worked hard and spent three months to master this weight.
Therefore, after the press conference, Xiang Yingying, who felt very relaxed, also had a pleasant dinner with Qu Zimo, Xibeier and other relatives and friends.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Mitt brought the Ohio State Athletic Committee personnel and UFC officials to Xiang Yingying's room to weigh him.
There was no suspense, Xiang Yingying successfully passed the test with 112.3 kilograms, and after participating in the UFC official weighing show in the afternoon, he could have more than 30 hours of adjustment time.
At the same time, Stip Mioche was also welcomed by officials from the Ohio State Council of Athletics, and he weighed in with 116.9 kilograms. According to his previous competition data, he actually gained about 5 kilograms in this tour training, and it seems that he wants to increase his attack power.
Adjusting to this match weight, Stipu Miocic is very confident that he can beat any opponent and continue to defend his title.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of November 26th, the weighing ceremony of this super battle was also ushered in in the Quickloan Center Arena, which is actually the audience's favorite show. During the weighing ceremony, the fighters will show their bodies in different ways and express their attitudes.
After the weighing ceremony began, under the personal auspices of Dana White, each group of fighters appeared in a pre-arranged order. With a strong physique and arrogant roar, he conveyed his belief in victory in front of reporters all over the world, and was even more aggressive in the photo stage, refusing to give in to each other, pushing the atmosphere of the weighing ceremony to a climax.
When the athletes in the main competition came on the court, the reporters frantically pressed the shutter in their hands. The warm atmosphere at the scene was also like a doping, igniting the passion of the fighters and giving them a stronger desire to perform.
After the athletes in the main event are weighed, it will be the turn of the absolute protagonists of this UFC 248, Xiang Ying and Mioqi. The first to play was a hero, and I saw that he was wearing a "hero T-shirt" tailored for the hero camp by Reebok, and there were three Chinese characters "hero camp" on the back of the T-shirt.
Xiang Hero, accompanied by Mitte and Boris, walked up to the weighing platform. And Coach Duan Rong held the light heavyweight gold belt high, followed behind, and kept showing it to the audience to build momentum for Xiang Hero.
Xiang Yingying, who was standing on the stage, took off his shirt and pants, revealing red fighting shorts. He has a preference for Chinese red, and he likes this color that is as bright as blood.
There was an exclamation at the scene, and reporters and fans who were familiar with him were surprised to find that Xiang Yingxing's figure was much stronger than the original battle against Jon Jones, and his muscle lines were more obvious, and he was particularly sexy and charming under the illumination of the lights.
Compared with a pair of arms that are not too long, Xiang Yingying's legs seem to be much longer, but what is even more surprising is the muscles on his legs, the circumference is particularly amazing, and the feeling of explosion is full.
In the cheers of the audience, Xiang Yingying stood on the electronic scale, put one or two POSS ones, and after causing the audience to cheer and scream again, he stepped aside and waited for Mioqi's entry.
The atmosphere of Mioqi's appearance was much more lively than that of Xiang Hero, and the audience kept shouting: "Mioqi! Miocchi! ”
Miocchi is wearing a black tracksuit today, habitually wearing a dark blue baseball cap, and chewing gum in his mouth, looking very relaxed. Behind him, the coaching team's expressions were also very relaxed, and at the back of the line was an aide holding the heavyweight belt aloft.
After Miocchi stepped onto the rostrum, he glanced at Xiang Ying lightly, with a hint of disdain on his face, and then he took off his sweatshirt and walked towards the electronic scale with only a pair of combat shorts.
Miocchi's body form is somewhat opposite to Xiang Ying's, his legs are not as thick as Xiang Ying's, but the muscles of his waist and abdomen, especially his shoulders and arms, are obviously stronger than Xiang Ying's. This shows that he has a lot of strength in his upper body and a lot of punch power.
Industry insiders know as soon as they look at the body type of the two of them, one is more focused on punching and the other is more focused on legs.
Therefore, Xiang Hero and Miocchi have their own characteristics. As for who can achieve the final victory, it will depend on whose on-the-spot performance is better and whose tactics are more perfect.
After Mioche finished weighing, Xiang Yingying was a little surprised by his weight of 116.9 kilograms, he did not expect Mioche to increase his weight to this level.
However, now is not the time to think about the weight of the opponent, because the most anticipated photo session of the audience is about to begin.
When Xiang Yingying and Miocchi were taking pictures of each other, Dana Bai looked very nervous, he stood between the two of them as a human shield, in case of accidents, these two guys couldn't beat him up no matter what! Do you still want to mix in the UFC?
Under the strict defense of Dana Bai, Xiang Yingying and Miocchi were quite restrained, without any conflict, and successfully completed the weighing ceremony.
During the whole weighing ceremony, Xiang Yingying and Mioqi did not make any verbal communication, and their expressions did not seem so serious, but they were a little relaxed. However, the audience still felt the sky-high fighting intent exuded from them from behind this relaxation.
