Chapter 348: The Dust Has Settled
After arriving at the training camp of the top team in the United States, Zachary took a photo with Xiang Yingying, confiscated Xiang Yingxing's car money again, and ran away with his foot on the accelerator. Seeing this, Xiang Yingying smiled and walked straight into the door of the top team training camp.
After Xiang Yingying put down his luggage in the dormitory, he went to the training hall to find Luo An and them, but when they arrived at the training hall, they learned that the training camp specially gave Luo An a week of rest for them to adjust.
When the other partners in the training camp saw Xiang Hero coming back, they came over to say hello, and even some teammates who were not usually familiar with him came over to congratulate him.
Xiang Hero's excellent performance in two consecutive games finally conquered these teammates who were above the top. People respect me a foot, I respect people, and Xiang Yingying also responded very enthusiastically.
At noon the next day, Ricardo Pollio, the chief director of the training camp, had Xiang Hero invited to the office.
After seeing Xiang Ying come in, Cardo Polio was very enthusiastic and took a bottle of mineral water to Xiang Yingying.
"Thank you!" Xiang Yingying took the mineral water and put it on the coffee table in front of him.
"It was a good game against Luke Lockhold." Cardo Polio said with a smile.
"The training camp helped me a lot, especially Coach Roan, who gave me some very effective advice and the pre-match tactics were very reasonable, so it was not surprising to win against Lockhold." Xiang Yingying said gratefully.
"Okay, it's ...... to call you today," Cardo Pollio was interrupted by Yule Romero, who walked straight in, before he could finish speaking.
Cardo Pollio frowned at this and looked at Romero without saying a word. And Romero didn't expect Xiang Ying to be here, obviously stunned.
Seeing this, Xiang Hero nodded to Romero and said to Cardo Polio, "I'll come over later." ”
"No, you don't! Hero, you stay here, and it just so happens that our 'God Warrior' is here, so I'll talk to you about it! Cardo Pollio said very calmly.
Cardo Pollio said this, looked at Romero and said, "It looks like you've got the news. ”
At this time, Xiang Ying had already vaguely guessed what Cardo Polio was going to say, and it was estimated that the final lineup of UFC234 was out.
Romero nodded with a gloomy face, and said unwillingly: "Can't you fight for it?" ”
Cardo Polio shook his head with a wry smile, looked down at his watch, and said: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, the official website will announce the UFC 234 lineup on time, and the fight for the title will be played by Ronaldo Sosa and Hero, and your opponent is Sam Alvi." ”
"Sam Alvey?" Romero's expression was very disdainful.
Seeing this, Cardo Polio smiled bitterly: "You calm down first, I know you are desperate to prove yourself, but you lost to Robert Vitekel in the last interim title fight, so the UFC can't give you the right to challenge so quickly, you have to calm down and fight two fights to have a chance." ”
"Damn it!" Romero cursed as if he was scolding before sitting on the sofa opposite Xiang Ying.
"Romero, your opponent Sam Alvi is also very strong this time, don't take it seriously." Cardo Pollio said with a somewhat serious expression.
"Sam Alvey? Is it that Sam Alvey of the Discovery Team? The more Xiang Yingying heard this name, the more familiar he became, so he asked curiously.
"Hmmm! It's the one from the Discovery Team. How, hero, touched! Cardo Polio asked with a smile.
"Hmmm! I was preparing for the Bernson game with Team Discovery, and I watched Sam Alvi train at the time, and it was really not weak. Xiang Yingying nodded and said.
Cardo Polio smiled bitterly when he heard this: "You are all powerful now, Sam Alvey's 31-9-1 record is not weak in front of you." ”
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Romero's anger was half gone, and the reason why he ran to Cardo Pollio's office was just to express some of his urgency and ask the training camp not to sloppy himself.
Fighters like them, who have been in the UFC for many years, are all "actor" level figures, and they believe that crying children have milk to eat, and those who can toss and fight with words will receive more attention.
"Sam Alvi, I know, he's won five of his last six fights and also gave Blackzilian 'honey' Rashad Evans a four-game losing streak." Romero knows a lot about the middleweight division.
"Rashad Evans, I've seen it, it's the former welterweight champion!" Xiang Hero asked in surprise.
"Hey! Hero, you don't even watch UFC fights! Why don't you even know about this game? Romero said depressedly.
"Ugh! I really haven't watched it, especially in the last two years, every day except training and competitions, I don't have time to watch it at all. I haven't watched any matches other than watching videos of my opponents' previous fights. Xiang Yingying said with some embarrassment.
After Romero heard the words and gave Xiang Hero a look of yours, he was too lazy to deal with Xiang Hero.
Seeing this, Cardo Polio smiled and said, "Hero! It just so happened that Romero came, he fought with Ronaldo Sousa and asked him to talk. Romero! Tell me about it. ”
Romero glanced at Cardo Polio depressedly when he heard this, pursed his lips, and said, "This 'crocodile' is very strong. To be honest, I was a bit of a fluke the last time I won against him, and in the last round I was knocked down by him and gave me a beating on the ground, and if I hadn't wrapped one of his legs and let him pass his legs, I would have been miserable. But even then I was beaten enough to get on my feet, but I was able to take advantage of his use of the lock to get back on my feet. ”
Romero said this and looked at Xiang Yingying before continuing: "His striking skills have improved very quickly in recent years, and he has basically the ability to solve a fight with one punch. It's still a bit of a gap compared to your striking skills, but it's also limited. But his takedown is a big threat to you. If this 'crocodile' leg wrestling or wrestling technique is at the college level, then Weidmann and Lockhold are at the level of high school students. ”
"Even I, the Olympic silver medallist in freestyle wrestling, couldn't say I would be able to beat him. This 'crocodile' jiu-jitsu black belt lives up to its name. ”
"He is called a 'crocodile' not only because of his crocodile crawling appearance and warm-up movements that mimic the crocodile's large mouth bite, but also because of his 'ferocious' technique. Diving and holding is his signature skill, once you are put down and suppressed by this one, you will feel like you are stuck in a swamp, and you can only let him be slaughtered by this crocodile. ”
