Although the domestic "hero fight" is in full swing, Xiang Yingying does not have much energy to care.

At this time, the intensity of preparation exceeded his expectations, especially the increase in the intensity of Jiu-Jitsu training, which made him feel a little strained, and after each day of training, he quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.

Busy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is December 13th, and tomorrow he and Coach Luo Ann will fly to London, England for the final preparations.

As early as the end of November, the curtain also came down on the hero fight, and the fifteen bloody battles on the final night attracted the attention of many fans across the country, and Penguin Sports, as the only online live broadcast media, also set a record for the ratings of the online broadcast of fighting events.

After the end of the hero fight, the prestige of the hero battalion in the domestic martial arts world also reached its peak. In the five divisions, the fighters under the Hero Battalion won two divisions of gold belts, namely heavyweight Wang Pengyu "Fat Panda" and middleweight Puyang Wu.

The other three levels of gold belt winners are "Cold Face Killer" Lu Han from Black Rock Fight Club, who won the lightweight belt, Yu Fei, a fighter from the MMA training camp of Xi'an Sports Institute, won the welterweight belt, and Yang Tian, a fighter under the Xuanwu Fight Club, won the light heavyweight belt.

At the award ceremony after the competition, Yu Taihua of Yulin Group personally handed over a check for a prop symbolizing 1 million to the winning fighter. The effect of money is huge, with the huge financial support of the 100 billion group, "Hero Fight" became an instant hit, becoming the biggest dark horse in domestic mixed martial arts events, from the Chinese fighting market with many old fighting events, it has fought a bloody way and occupied a certain market share.

After half a year of hard work, the heroes have all shed a layer of skin, and after a short period of repair, Qu Zimo and Xiang Yingxing's family and friends are ready to go directly to London, England on December 18, ready to witness this game that is very important to Xiang Ying.

Originally, Song Ming of Penguin Sports was also going to personally lead the team to London, England in advance to do some follow-up reports on the preparation of Xiang Hero, but the top team in the United States directly declined all media interviews.

On December 14, Xiang Yingying, Coach Luo An's coaching team and Romero, as well as his coaching team and staff, a group of more than 10 people, boarded a flight to London, England at Miami Airport.

After a long flight of nearly 19 hours, we finally arrived at Luton Airport, the 7th largest airport in the UK and 137th in the world. Some tired Xiang Hero and Romero arrived at the nearest four-star hotel to Wembley Stadium, the Wembley by Hilton London, in a pre-booked airport bus.

Although it is a four-star rate, the cheapest double room also reached more than 600 US dollars a night, although according to the agreed price is discounted by 20%, but it is still more than 500 US dollars.

Since the UFC only provides hotel accommodation and round-trip air tickets for 4-5 days before the fight, the fighters have to pay for the excess out of their own pockets.

Take Chinese fighters as an example, when they travel from China to the United States or Europe, they have to adapt to the time difference at least 10 days in advance. Assuming a player brings only one coach and one sparring partner, the airfare will cost about $1,200-$2,000 per person, plus their hotel accommodation. In the end, the remuneration for the training team was deducted, and the players had little left.

A lot of fighters who have just joined the UFC and only have a few thousand dollars to play in the UFC can't afford it, and many of them are paying for it, but these fighters are still persevering, and they hope to have better competition income and sponsorship income in the future.

Fortunately, Xiang Hero started high, and after entering the UFC, he had a lot of sponsors, and his appearance cost was as high as 300,000 US dollars. And his share of his first PPV sales in the UFC also arrived a month after his first fight in China, and although the sales of his first fight in China were not very good, they also reached the average level of PPV sales, so he still got nearly $1.15 million in this fight with Luke Lockhold.

This income level is not the top of the UFC, but it is also the income level of a first-class fighter.

Therefore, Xiang Yingying and his coaching team are not burdened at all to stay in a four-star star. As for Romero, it is even more problematic, just for this game between him and Viteker, the appearance fee was $350,000, plus the $50,000 game bonus and $30,000 Reebok sponsorship, a total of $430,000, and the PPV sales of that game are also particularly good, conservative estimates, Romero and Vitekel this interim championship battle, Romero has at least $2 million in the account.

The UFC is so cruel, the fighters who fight make a lot of money, and the commercial contracts are signed softly, but those fighters who don't fight are still living a careful life, dreaming of one day being able to be like those top fighters, not worrying about money, but simply enjoying the game.

Xiang Hero has now reached the stage of enjoying the game, since he signed a two-year contract of up to 30 million yuan, he has started to enjoy the game, not to mention his current income of more than $1 million per game.

After a day of rest in the hotel, Xiang Yingying and his party adjusted to the jet lag before arriving at the large training hall of the London Shootfighters, which will be their last place to prepare for the competition.

The "London Fighters" is one of the UK's oldest fighting teams and the largest professional MMA team in the UK, and their teaching content has expanded from the original wrestling and boxing to today's comprehensive integration, not only in their traditional wrestling, but also in the professional MMA field has also produced a large number of outstanding fighters, whose fighters have dominated the local event "Caged Fury" 6 championship belts.

More importantly, the London Fighters team itself is also responsible for the management and promotion of fighters, and in recent years has actively introduced its fighters to professional competitions outside the UK, such as Mustafa, Hathaway and others to the UFC.

Therefore, the preparation requirements of Xiang Ying and Romero are very welcome, and they also pay attention to the outside world, and specially adjust the training venue so that the two can concentrate on preparation, and also let the coaches and excellent fighters of the training camp also actively participate.

Not far from the "London Fighters" is also a famous British gym, the olfslair MMA Academy (Wolverine), where UFC middleweight champion Mike "The Count" Bispin is making the final preparations for the Wolverine......

Coincidentally, Robert "Five" Vitekel and Ronaldo "The Crocodile" Sousa also arrived in London to prepare for their fights at Team Rough House and Cobbang respectively.

At this point, the four most famous MMA gyms in the UK have all welcomed their own fighters......
