Who else? Heroes Challenge the World"
Hero's Manifesto
It's nothing more than some content that pulls hatred and attracts attention. Of course, as soon as this kind of article came out, the martial arts world was in an uproar again.
Middleweight fighters such as Yusri "Babyface Ninja" Behari and Isley "The Black Dragon" Adesanya have stepped up to deliver a fight to Xiang, and Marcus has also stepped up to hope for a rematch with Xiang to regain his lost glory.
Even Melvin Manhoff, a 42-year-old "old" ring beast from the Netherlands, expressed his desire to have a fight with Xiang Ying to teach this arrogant and ignorant Chinese fighter a lesson.
In the face of Xiang Hero's declaration, the top 10 fighters in the UFC middleweight division remained silent very tacitly. It is not a wise decision to provoke Xiang Hero at this time, because Dana Bai will definitely not let go of the opportunity to rub the hot spot, and if he plays with Xiang Hero in this situation, it is not a good deal to win or lose.
Those guys who are confident in their own strength and urgently need a high-exposure game to prove themselves will definitely not give up this opportunity.
Rick Bernson, Paul Braziha, Elias Teodoro, Paul Braziha, Oluwell Bembos and other fighters outside the top 10 have stepped forward, shouting more and more loudly, for fear that Dana White will not see it.
In this regard, Xiang Yingying made a very tough response. It directly indicates that those guys who have never even heard of their names should not come to join in the fun, and first get the qualification to challenge!
As for those fighters with relatively high reputation, Xiang Yingying also responded and was very happy to fight with them.
While returning to China and fighting a war of words with a group of people, Xiang Yingying unexpectedly received an interview invitation from the famous sports magazine "Sports Illustrated", and will also be the cover character of the next issue.
After the hero battalion learned the news, they were very excited and congratulated Xiang Hero one after another.
Seeing this, Xiang Yingying dragged and said, "Isn't it just a broken magazine cover!" Is it necessary to be so happy? If I go on it more often in the future, you won't be happy and stupid! ”
Of course, as soon as Xiang Hero said this, he was immediately attacked by all the colleagues in the hero battalion, and even the fat chef in the canteen looked disdainful when he found out.
Tang Mu looked at Xiang Yingying with a smile and said, "It seems that I have to give you some popular science, so as not to make jokes when I am interviewed." The sports illustrated magazine I'm talking about is not the sports illustrated magazine in China, but a world-famous sports magazine. ”
"The American sports weekly, owned by media giant Time Warner. With more than 3 million subscribers and 23 million adult readings per week, it includes more than 13 million, or 19% of men, in the United States. It is the first magazine to win the National Magazine Award for Excellence twice in circulation of more than one million magazines. ”
"It's an honour for an athlete to be featured in Sports Illustrated, representing his outstanding performance in his field. Like Flyer Jordan, Boxing Champion Ali, Tiger Woods, Magic Johnson and other bullish characters, it is not difficult to see from these that it is not easy to be on the cover of "Sports Illustrated", it is an affirmation of athletes and recognition from the outside world. ”
"You said it was the American one, isn't it over, I thought it was domestic? But how do I qualify to be on the cover of that magazine? Xiang Yingying was a little puzzled.
"I don't think you're qualified, either, and even though you've won the middleweight title of the world's top kickboxing event, Glory, and defended it once, it's still a bit up in the air. I guess it's still a matter of your influence, and whether you like it or not, I guess fans all over the world know about your deeds. Tang Mu said with a smile.
"Holy! Do I have that much influence? Xiang Yingying was still puzzled.
"You've had a big enough impact, and you don't look at how much buzz you create before and after each game. You are now completely a topic person, and the media likes people like you the most, with no door in your mouth, and you will be giggling when you are excited, so your exposure rate is super high, and your popularity is beyond your imagination. After Tang Mu finished speaking, he looked at Xiang Ying with a playful face and laughed.
After hearing this, Xiang Yingying was depressed, and he couldn't find any words to refute it, so he had to smile awkwardly and bury his head in eating......
……
On 18 April, Xiang Yingying, accompanied by Tang Mu, flew to New York, USA, and arrived early the next morning at the studio of Sports Illustrated at its headquarters in New York.
Under the arrangement of photographer Michael Lebrecht, a set of blockbuster shots was completed.
Two of the blockbusters will be selected, one of which will be used as the cover image for the new issue of Sports Illustrated, while the other will be used as an illustration for the interview.
With a height of 1.9 meters, a strong figure, a beautiful body, and a well-defined face, Xiang Yingying is full of male masculine beauty.
At the request of Michael Lebrecht, Xiang Yingying took more than 40 photos in formal attire, casual attire, and competition attire.
After a morning of tossing, changing more than a dozen sets of clothes, posing countless poses, and his face was about to cramp with laughter, Xiang Yingying completed all the shooting.
After the shooting, photographer Michael Lebrecht wiped the sweat on his head and excitedly said to Xiang Ying: "Xiang! You're the most tangible and photogenic Asian sports athlete I've ever met, really! I believe that as soon as this issue of Sports Illustrated comes out, you will gain countless female fans, and there will be many great Hollywood directors who ask you to make films, and I am very sure of that. ”
"Michael, but this morning's shooting, I feel more tired than playing a game!" Xiang Yingying, who was full of tiredness, smiled bitterly, not in the slightest excited by Michael's praise.
"Haha! Xiang, just wait for you to get used to it, you will definitely have such things in the future. Okay, let's pick a photo! With that, Michael plugged in his computer to the projector.
In the end, I finally picked left and right, and finally chose a dark blue suit photo and a high kick sandbag photo.
Michael asked his assistant to print out a photo of Xiang Hero wearing a competition outfit and a high kick sandbag, and then said to Xiang Hero: "Xiang! Can you sign this photo? My daughter loves you very much. ”
Xiang Yingying was stunned when he heard this, looked at Michael and said suspiciously: "Your daughter?" ”
"That's right! My daughter, Rebecca, is thirteen years old and she loves your game very much. By the way, can you sign Chinese? She is very fond of Chinese characters. Michael said with some excitement.
"Haha! No problem, if there's a chance to play in New York, I'll ask Rebecca to come and watch me play! Xiang Yingying said with a smile on his face.
"Oh! That's great, and Rebecca will be very happy. Thank you, Item! Michael thanked him and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
