Chapter 451: "Lord" Michael Bisping

The weighing ceremony was still placed in the No. 1 multi-purpose hall of the National Stadium, and there was still more than half an hour before the official start, and the scene was already full of spectators.

In addition to the invited guests and dignitaries, there were also many film and television stars and sports stars who attended the weighing ceremony, and in addition to them, there were also some very lucky fans randomly selected through the Internet.

Of course, such an occasion must be indispensable for reporters, and reporters with long guns and short guns can be seen everywhere on the scene. The scale of its scale is no less than that of the guests.

At this time, they have entered the working state, and although this is not the first time that the UFC has landed on the Chinese stage, the meaning is very different.

The last time was in Shanghai, although there were also heroes on the stage, but at that time he was just a very powerful Chinese boxer, and he had not even won the right to challenge for the championship.

But after seven months, the UFC has landed in China again, but Xiang Yingying is no longer the up-and-coming potential fighter at that time, but the current UFC middleweight champion and the top star of the MMA world No. 1 rankings.

Moreover, the venue of this competition was held in Beijing, the capital of China, and it was held in the Bird's Nest, one of the landmark buildings of the Olympic Games, which is not the same as the one in Shanghai.

The weigh-in ceremony was still presided over by Dana White himself, and behind him was the theme back panel of UFC 236, with the hero in the center of the eye-catching back.

Xiang Hero on the background board still has short hair, perhaps because of the angle of light, the contours of his face are more distinct, and a pair of resolute eyes exude a breathtaking evil aura.

The body of "Hongguoguo" is firm, full, and perfectly outlined, and the eye-catching eight-pack abs are simply blinding eyes.

On the background board, Xiang Hero wears a pair of finger-to-finger combat gloves called "Hero's Fury". The background color of the glove is black, but there is a blooming flame on the back of the hand, and the flame extends to each of the five fingers, which is very brilliant and eye-catching.

The lower body wears red and black Reebok fighting shorts, the right leg is also printed with the word "hero" in Chinese, and the left trouser leg is printed with the words "America's top team training camp".

Speaking of the top team training camp in the United States, it is also incredible that Xiang Hero can win the middleweight championship in such a short period of time. At that time, the training camp signed Xiang Hero, although he felt that Xiang Hero's potential was good, but mainly because he took a fancy to the Chinese market behind Xiang Hero, and in addition to Dana Bai personally introduced,

But I didn't expect Xiang Hero to bring so many surprises to the training camp, and as Xiang Hero shined in the UFC's Octagon Cage, invincible, and won the middleweight championship, the top team training camp was even more prestigious, steadily suppressing the training camp's old rival Blackzilian training camp.

Under the background, a row of bikini beauties with hot bodies show charming smiles under the illumination of the lights, which makes people think about it.

The weighing ceremony begins in the order of appearance of the semi-finals and the main event, and the first thing that is carried out is the weighing of the semi-finalists.

When weighing, these fledgling and less satisfactory players are trying their best to show their personalities in front of the media, and all kinds of arrogant poses, exciting roars, and arrogant confrontations are frequently staged.

The excitement of the guests was getting more and more excited, and it was not until the main event that the excitement slowly reached its climax, and this climax reached its climax when Michael Bispin and Xiang Ying appeared.

The first to appear is the challenger Michael Bisping, nicknamed "The Lord", British, born on February 28, 1979, with a height of 188CM and an arm span of 193cm, slightly inferior to Xiang Hero in height and arm span.

Bisping's grandfather, Andrew, was a Polish nobleman, and his nickname "Lord" was inherited from his grandfather's title. His grandfather served as a sergeant major in the Queen's Lancashire Legion. Bispin was born at a British military base in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus. He has been gifted in sports since he was a child, and football, rugby, swimming, canoeing, and martial arts are all his hobbies. He used to play on the wing in the rugby professional training team, but was eventually removed due to his foul action when intercepting and stealing the ball.

Therefore, many fighters despise him for being a bad embryo since he was a child, especially when he is in a war of words, many opponents will use this to complain about him. However, Bispin is also a typical civilian fighter, and he has successfully explained to the UK and the world what a grassroots counterattack is.

At the age of 8, Bisping began training in jiu-jitsu, and at the age of 15, competed in amateur martial arts. Three years later, he took up the professional martial arts route, and at the suggestion of the Black Knight owner, Bisping embarked on a short but successful kickboxing career. He won two British National Professional Kickboxing Lightweight Titles in two years. After that, Bisping University dropped out of the middle of the school, due to a lack of financial foundation, and did not get a degree. He was forced to stop kickboxing training and start working some blue-collar jobs for a living. He worked in factories, slaughterhouses and demolition companies, and was a postman, mason and salesman.

The tedious and heavy physical labor of the day made Bisping's life very painful, and the dream of a championship that haunted him finally made him determined to change all that, which turned out to be a turning point in his life.

At the age of 23, he was determined to challenge British boxing champion Bruno for a boxing career, but by chance when he entered the gym, his coach let him practice MMA. In 2004, Bisping began his MMA career, defeating the then-famous Mark in the third game of his career, thus winning the "Caged Storm" lightweight championship of the British local organization and successfully defending the title! At this time, Bisping was considered one of Britain's top martial artists and was hailed as the "hope of Great Britain".

And all this caught the attention of the UFC, and in the subsequent MMA fight, Bisping also won the lightweight title of Europe's largest organization, the "Iron Cage Warriors", and defended it three times in a row. In 2006, in order to get himself one step closer, Bispin went to the United States to participate in the audition for the third season of "The Ultimate Fighter" held by the UFC at that time. In the end, Bispin finished all his opponents and became the first non-American champion in TUE's history.

Michael Bisping's 2016 start to the year was a standout one, as he set the stage for his title fight by unanimous decision victory over the greatest middleweight contender in middleweight history, Anderson "The Spider" Silva, in his native London.

In June of the same year, with former challenger Chris Weidmann retiring due to injury, Bispin rushed into action to challenge middleweight champion Luke Lockhold and shocked the world with a first-round knockout of his opponent.

After 10 years in the UFC, he finally won his first UFC title. Next, he called out to Dan Henderson, who had knocked out in UFC 100 and "whipped" himself.

The revenge battle was fought in Bisping's hometown of Manchester in October, and after being knocked down three times with heavy punches, the Earl fought back and finally got revenge by unanimous decision.

Although he eventually lost the middleweight title to Australia's Robert Vitekel in his homeland, that doesn't deny his success.

When a person is accustomed to glory, it is difficult to adapt to asking him to throw it all away, and Michael Bispin, who was once starved of cold eyes and living in poverty, could not bear this.

Although he is 40 years old, he still maintains a good level of competition. He's going to prove to the world that he's not down and that he's going to reclaim what he lost, even if it's against a hero touted by the media as the strongest in the middleweight division.
