Chapter 316: Pre-Race Publicity Activities (Part I)

The day after Luke Lockhold's arrival, Dana White and numerous UFC executives also rushed to Beijing, where he had to be the first stop for four promotional events

As the first fight in China, the UFC official paid special attention, and the first promotional event was in Beijing, the capital of China, which is even more important.

In order to allow Chinese audiences, media reporters and industry peers to experience the charm of UFC up close, UFC officials deliberately placed the venue of this promotional event at the Beijing Liviside Hotel, which is located in the main venue of the Garden Expo.

Not for anything else, because Beijing Liviside Hotel has a pillarless banquet hall of more than 4,400 square meters, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people at the same time.

The campaign was also unique in that it took the form of an autonomous banquet, and after the usual publicity questions, a dinner would be held.

In addition to the 100 lucky spectators selected online, the domestic sports world, especially the combat fighting world, as well as related industry groups, were almost wiped out and came to participate in the unprecedented banquet.

In addition, the leaders of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China and the Wushu Sports Management Center also sent high-level representatives to attend the publicity event.

Of course, this publicity interaction also attracted some film and television stars who love combat sports, especially those action stars, as long as almost all of them are in Beijing. Miscellaneous people, plus reporters, a total of four or five hundred people came.

……

At 4 p.m. on September 23, the first pre-fight promotion event of UFC Fight Night 134 kicked off at the Liviside Hotel in Beijing as scheduled.

Many guests came to the scene one after another, and happily communicated with their acquaintances.

Soon, as the protagonists of today, Xiang Yingying and Luke Lockhold also arrived at the venue with their respective teams.

The Hero Battalion, which has a home advantage, sent a particularly large lineup this time, except for Mike and Hibelle, who came from the United States, almost all the executives of the Roan coaching team and the Hero Camp were dressed up.

According to Tang Mu, today is also the best opportunity to show the strength of the hero battalion.

Xiang Yingying, who hated this occasion very much, was also forced by Qu Zimo and Tang Mu to put on a dark blue suit with dark stripes.

This suit fits very well, making Xiang Yingying a little less fierce and more elegant, his increasingly mature cheeks are well-defined, his inch-long short hair looks particularly capable, and his tall body looks particularly eye-catching among many guests.

But Xiang Yingying always twisted his body from time to time, compared with the loose and comfortable sweatshirt, the formal suit was too suffocating to wear, and he was uncomfortable up and down.

Contrary to Xiang Yingying's discomfort, Luke Lockhold is very suitable for such an occasion, and after appearing, he keeps greeting the guests, whether he knows him or not, he is very enthusiastic.

Luke Lockhold is worthy of being able to walk the catwalk at New York Fashion Week, he is wearing a well-fitting light blue plaid suit today, accompanied by a pair of white cropped pants, a pair of beige casual shoes on bare feet, and a pair of big toad glasses, completely looking like a vacation, everywhere he goes, the guests have sideways glances.

Seeing this, Xiang Yingying pursed his mouth unhappily, and said in his stomach: "a yarn, when the time comes, you must beat this guy hard." ”

In fact, it is not that the hero is cautious, but because after Mitte made a hero's victory in front of the media, Luke Lockhold immediately responded publicly in the media.

The exact words were: "Who is Mitte?" What qualifications does he have to comment on this game, is it possible that Xiang Hero's hero camp is full of this kind of coach who doesn't know where to pop up? Please tell Xiang Hero that I won this game with Luke Lockhold. ”

But some reporters translated, "Who is Mitte?" Could it be that the coaches of the hero camp have never seen the world and are a group of frogs sitting on the well and watching the sky? They don't know what a real master is, and they don't have the ability and qualifications to judge the winner or loser of this game. I, Luke Lockhold, will definitely win this game and show you what it takes to be a real master. ”

Xiang Yingying must be unhappy when he finds out! Straight into a frenzy, bluntly saying that he wants to solve the fight within three rounds, and he wants to kick Luke Lockhold's ass hard to let him know why the flowers are so red.

Now Luke Lockhold is also unhappy, threatening to break the nasty mouth of Xiang Hero. The two men then had a war of words in the media for three or four days until the start of this campaign.

In the face of such a rare war of words, domestic fans are very happy, smiling and grinning on the Internet, and tearing up those netizens abroad, especially those in the United States who support Luke Lockhold.

……

Facing the world's largest market, Dana White couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and after seeing Xiang Yingying and Luke Lockhold appear, he quickly walked to the rostrum of the banquet hall and personally introduced the heavyweight guests attending the banquet today.

Subsequently, Dana Blanca briefly talked about a series of promotion plans after the UFC entered the Chinese market.

The guests at the event still had full respect for the legend who spent more than a decade building a regional mixed martial arts brand into the world's largest mixed martial arts tournament worth $4 billion.

As long as Dana Bai talked about the key points, the guests gave warm applause.

Finally, the excited Dana Bai held the microphone and said loudly: "Next, I will introduce to you today's protagonist, who is also the hero of the main competition of the 134th issue of Fight Night. ”

"Xiang Yingxing is the most talented Chinese fighter I've ever met, he has the strength of brazing and the potential to be a star, he won three UFC fights, two knockouts, one TKO, and two best fights of the night. In a short period of time, it has been loved by a large number of fans. This time it's at his home game and hopefully he can play at his level and give us a good game. ”

"Bang bang bang!" As soon as Bai Dana's words fell, the scene burst into very warm applause. Xiang Yingying looked around and found that the most dense applause came out of the hero camp members sitting on the right, and it was from the audience seat in the back row, where there were 300 lucky spectators, which was the applause of the fans who supported him.

Next, Dana White introduced Luke Lockhold, praising Luke Lockhold as an excellent champion-level fighter and the most versatile and powerful opponent the hero has faced so far.

This match is sure to be a classic battle that will be watched by the world......
