Xiang Yingying didn't care who the opponent was at all, he was still returning to China to participate in the competition in his mind now, and he was actually going to return to China to participate in the competition.

"It's great that I can finally go back to China and play."

"Yes! It's a big home advantage and you have to take advantage of it, it's a little over a month away. And in order to expand the influence of the first stop in China, we will also go to Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu to meet fans before the game. As the host, you must actively cooperate. "Dana White spared no effort to promote this China station!

"No problem, I'll definitely cooperate." Xiang Yingying nodded happily.

"This news is estimated to be officially announced to the public in three days, don't say anything about it in the past few days." Dana Bai instructed.

"Okay! Be sure to keep it a secret! "Xiang Hero, who is in a good mood, is good at listening to everything.

"Finally, I have to remind you again that Luke Lockhold is a top MMA fighter with no obvious technical shortcomings, he has very good striking skills and ground skills, and he is also a jiu-jitsu fighter." Dana White reminded for the last time.

"Thank you! I know how to deal with him, but Mr. Bai! If you count Luke Lockhold, it's the fourth American fighter you arranged for me, I think you're afraid that the American audience won't hate me enough! After Xiang Yingying finished speaking, he looked at Dana Bai with a smile.

Dana Bai smiled awkwardly, he really didn't notice that Xiang Ying finished the third American fighter in a row, and if you add Luke Lockhold, it is really the fourth American.

"Ugh! I really haven't noticed it yet, but the opponents assigned to you now are all carefully selected, and they best match your strength at this stage. Alright, I'll have another meeting later. After saying that, Dana Bai stood up and prepared to send off the guests.

Seeing this, Xiang Hero nodded and left with Mike.

Not long after returning to the hotel, Ricardo and Roan also returned to the hotel, still somewhat surprised when they heard that the next match was against Luke Lockhold. They originally envisioned a fighter as Ronaldo "The Crocodile" Sousa, and they didn't expect the UFC to get Luke Lockhold, who hadn't fought in nearly two years.

"Hero! Know Luke Lockhold? Luo An asked.

"Of course, isn't it the model who killed Weidmann and made it to the top!" Xiang Yingying pursed his lips, seemingly a little disdainful.

"Model!" Luo An smiled weirdly and said, "That guy can indeed be said to be a model, and it is said that he can earn a seven-figure appearance fee at New York Fashion Week." ”

After hearing the words "seven figures", Xiang Yingying stared at him and asked in surprise: "Are you saying that Luke Lockhold can get a seven-figure appearance fee at that New York Fashion Week, isn't that more profitable than playing games!" So why did he come back to play? Just go to be a full-time model, it's easy, and the money you make is no less than playing competitions. ”

"Luke Lockhold can get such a high appearance fee, which has a lot to do with his results in the UFC arena, and if he didn't have his results in the UFC, he would definitely not get such a high appearance fee."

Ricciardo said this, looked up and down at Xiang Hero, and joked: "Hero! I think your conditions are also good, you can go to New York Fashion Week to make a cameo and make some extra money! ”

"Models! Forget it! I don't want to dangle back and forth on the catwalk! Xiang Yingying hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Alright, let's get down to business! Luke Lockhold is currently ranked fourth in the UFC and is a very strong contender, after all, he has two titles, a former UFC middleweight champion and a former Strikeforce middleweight champion. ”

When Luo An said this, he looked at Xiang Yingying, who smiled when he saw this and said, "I also have a championship title, a former Glory Fighting Middleweight Champion!" ”

Luo An gave a speechless thumbs up to the hero and continued, "As a middleweight, his MMA record so far is 16-3, three knockouts, and nine submissions. He has a height of 191cm and an extra-long arm span of 196cm. It's a little better than you're physically, but it's negligible, but you should be a bit heavier than him, so you still have some advantage in terms of strength. ”

"But Luke Lockhold is very good at taking advantage of his huge physical advantage in the Circle, and he's also a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and he's very good at grappling and submission in a way that Weidman can't match."

"In addition to this, Luke Lockhod also has a lot of experience in the competition, and during the Strikeforce period, he defeated the famous Brazilian Ronaldo Sousa to reach the top. After that, they continued their strong momentum and defended their titles one after another. ”

But after entering the UFC, Luke Lockhod was a bit unlucky, as he was defeated in his debut by another Brazilian legend, Vito Belfort, and then spent an extended period of time recuperating from injury. AFTER HIS RETURN, HE FACED MADA RYUTA IN UFC ON FOX 15, AND WITH HIS ALL-ROUND SKILLS, HE DOMINATED MACHIDA RYUTA FOR TWO FULL ROUNDS AND FINALLY SUBDUED FORMER LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION MADA RYUTA! It was a dominating performance that declared to all fans that he deserved a title shot. ”

In the end, Luke Lockhold won the title at UFC 194, defeating Chris Weidmann, who has won 13 straight games, to become the new champion. However, in the first defense of the UFC 199 title, he was knocked out by the current champion Michael Bispin in the first round and took away the championship belt. ”

"It's a really good fighter, but I won it because I can't afford to lose this fight, and I can't afford to lose. Because this game is in China, which is my home stadium, there is no way I can disappoint my compatriots. Xiang Yingying said very confidently.

"I also don't think there's a problem with the hero, after all, that Luke hasn't competed in an official competition for almost two years." Mike has a lot of faith in Xiang Hero.

"Although he has not participated in the competition, he has been training very systematically in the past six months, in fact, he is ready to fight at any time, plus he is more powerful in tactical execution, rhythm control and fighting IQ, and he is still a left-hander, which will make many fighters very uncomfortable." Roan knows Luke very well.

In fact, not only Luke, but also Roan knows a lot about the top MMA fighters in the world, and these fighters have become imaginary opponents who have done top team training camps.

"I know, so I want to focus on falling and submission prevention during this fight, and I hope the coaching staff will go back to the hero camp with me to prepare." Xiang Hero made a request to Ricardo and Roan to return to China to prepare for the battle.
