Chapter 315: "Big Hanging" Arrives in Beijing

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is September 20th, the day when Luke Lockhold arrived in Beijing with his team.

He was congested by fans and media as soon as he left the airport, and although he was playing away from home, his handsome appearance and superb martial arts skills still gained a large number of Chinese fans.

While these fans will certainly hope Xiang Hero wins this match, that doesn't detract from their fondness for Luke Lockhold.

THE 191CM TALL LUKE LOCKHOLD HAS A HIGH NOSE AND SUNKEN EYES, ESPECIALLY A VERY CHARMING SMILE, AND A LUXURIOUS HANDMADE SUIT UNDER THE SUPPORT OF HIS TONED BODY, WHICH LOOKS EXTRAORDINARILY FITTED, AND IS WORTHY OF BEING ABLE TO EARN A 7-FIGURE APPEARANCE FEE AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK.

At this time, Luke Lockhold was not in a good mood, and it could even be said that it was very bad, and the main culprit was this match with Xiang Ying. His plan was to challenge Robert "Reaper" Vitekel for the interim title, and then challenge Michael "The Count" Bispin for the title.

But he never expected that Dana White would let him play against Xiang Yingying, and it was in Xiang Yingxing's home stadium in Shanghai, China.

It's not that he's afraid of playing against Xiang Hero, as for who wins and loses in the game with Xiang Hero, Luke Lockhold really hasn't thought about it carefully. In his mind, Xiang won't be his opponent and may be on par on the feet, but on the ground, especially in submission skills, he will be far superior to Xiang.

The reason why he is angry is that he thinks that he has been abandoned by the UFC, and since he is still in the Chinese arena like an outcast, he actually thinks that he can't beat this Chinese fighter Xiang Hero who only has three wins, which is simply the biggest contempt for him.

Although it was UFC Vice President Jeff Nowitzki who came to him personally to discuss, and said that the match arrangement had not yet been finalized, he could not accept it, but hoped to give a definite answer within three days.

Luke Lockhold is dismissive of the so-called "can not be accepted" statement, coax the ghost to go! Only a fool will believe it! If he refuses to participate in this fight, then his chances of getting a title shot will be stranded without limits, and the UFC will have all sorts of ways to prevaricate.

Although he knew in his heart that this was a must-play game, Luke Lockhold did not fail to answer on the spot, but carefully studied the game materials of Xiang Hero with the coaching team again.

In the end, it was concluded that it was a very big game to win. The match between Xiang Yingying and Weidman exposed the weakness of his poor ground skills, but unfortunately Weidmann did not seize the opportunity and failed to submit Xiang Yingying in the four-minute suppression, which has to be said to be Weidman's failure, but it also shows Xiang Yingxing's tenacity.

But unlike Weidman, Luke Lockhold has top-notch submission skills, and if he gets four minutes of time, there is a 90% chance of winning this match.

So, after the analysis of the coaching team, Luke Lockhold reluctantly agreed to the game.

After agreeing to participate in the game, many media compared the strength of him and Xiang Yingying, and came to the conclusion that if he played five rounds, Xiang Yingying, who had the advantage of playing at home, would win 70%.

If he can finish the fight early, Luke Lockhold will also have a 70% chance of winning, given his clear advantage in experience and submission skills, and he has the physicality and striking skills to match the hero.

After more than a month of targeted training, Luke Lockhold has adjusted his form to peak form, and is very confident that he will beat him all over the ground on the home turf of Xiang Hero.

But as soon as he thought about it, he was very unhappy to come to the press conference in four cities in advance. He knew the intention of the UFC, after all, it was an event that officially landed in China, so Luke Lockhold had to come to the first stop of the press conference "Beijing, China" under the repeated urging of Dana White.

This was Luke Lockhold's first visit to China, and he was very happy to see so many fans and media reporters welcoming him after getting off the plane. He didn't expect that he would still be so popular in distant China.

So, when Luke Lockhold was surrounded by fans and reporters, he stopped with a smile on his face, and accepted questions from reporters while helping fans sign autographs.

"Mr. Luke, welcome to China, I remember that you watched Xiang Hero's match on the spot, can you evaluate your opponent." A little beautiful reporter excitedly handed the microphone to Luke's mouth and asked.

Luke Lockhold doesn't have a good temper and is a guy who never wants to fall behind others in his mouth, but that doesn't mean he's stupid, and he certainly won't say anything drastic in such an occasion. Besides, Xiang Yingying rarely faced media reporters directly during this time, and he didn't say anything excessive, and he seemed very calm.

"The hero is a very strong opponent, he has very good striking skills, and he's very physical, he's got a lot of core strength, and he's also a very good heavy gunner with the ability to finish fights with one punch. I'm looking forward to a showdown with him and it's sure to give the crowd a great fight." Luke Lockhold said with a smile on his face, and the smile was very elegant.

"Mr. Luke, this time you're playing away, will that affect your performance?" A young reporter asked curiously.

"Nope! Not at all, I don't care about home or away, as long as the game starts, there is nothing in my eyes but the opponent. Luke Lockhold replied confidently.

"That's it! All right! Mr. Luke had just gotten off the plane and needed to rest. If you have any questions, leave them to tomorrow's press conference! A UFC Chinese staff member spoke loudly and, along with airport security personnel, cleared a passage for Luke Lockhold to escort him to the airport where he was in his car.

At the same time, some news media reporters, in order to get first-hand information, also went to the hero camp to see if there was a chance to interview the heroes who had been closed for half a month.

As a result, they didn't catch the hero, but they blocked Tang Mu and Mitte, who came back from going out to run errands, and asked Tang Mu their predictions for this game.

As a result, without waiting for Tang Mu to answer, Xiao Te preemptively said, "Heroes are invincible, and it is impossible for anyone to defeat heroes." At this moment, Mitte has become a hero's brainless fan.

But this is not the end, when the reporter asked what Mitte thinks of Xiang Hero's home advantage, Mitte said with disdain: "The hero said that he is the only one who calls the shots in his game, and the result of the game will not be affected by the referee, and the hero will definitely end the game in advance in normal games." ”

Tang Mu, who was on the side, had to look at the excited reporters with a wry smile, and secretly decided that in the future, as long as it was before the game, he would never let arrogant guys like Mitte and Corey contact reporters......
