With the approach of this super battle, the entire cultural and sports world is lively, and the tickets for this super war have reached the point where they are hard to find, and the best seats in the infield have been fried to $9,000 a piece, and they are still priceless. Because this kind of behavior has already been booked by celebrities.

As the organizer of this super event, the staff of the entire organization has been busy, and countless interview applications have been placed in front of them, making them dizzy to watch. According to statistics, the number of applications for the whole interview of this super battle has reached more than 800. This is the most in UFC history.

In the end, in order to control the number of reporters, balance the relationship, and ensure the quality of interviews, the UFC finally rejected more than 300 interview applications and approved more than 400 media outlets, except for the top media outlets, which can have two reporters to participate, and only one reporter can participate.

The largest number of reporters is, of course, the American media, after all, Jon Jones is one of the very few African Americans in the UFC, and the home field advantage is very obvious.

As for the Chinese media, Dana Bai also approved more than 20 companies for the sake of Xiang Ying's face, while Penguin Sports was classified as one of the top media outlets and received two places.

For the sake of these two places, Penguin Sports' reporters can be described as eight immortals across the sea to show their talents, and any reporter who is involved in martial arts is unwilling to give up this opportunity. In the end, Song Ming, who was more familiar with Xiang Yingying, and a senior photojournalist.

However, the most limelight in the Chinese media is CCTV Sports, since learning that Xiang Hero is going to fight Jon Jones Super Fight, he directly reached a live broadcast agreement with UFC and Fox TV, and organized a professional team of more than a dozen people to rush to New York, ready to track the preparation of Xiang Hero after arriving in New York. The team was led by a deputy director of CCTV Sports, and the accompanying chief reporter was, of course, the beautiful Dan Yan.

……

On December 15, Xiang Yingying and his entourage, led by Ricardo, Malaysia Airlines flight MH9452 arrived at New York's Kennedy International Airport at 4:40 p.m.

As for the plane of Malaysia Airlines, Xiang Yingying is very shadowy, because as long as he sees Malaysia Airlines, he remembers the Malaysia Airlines MH370 that disappeared without a trace......

However, the vast majority of flights landing at JFK were Malaysia Airlines planes. After Qu Zimo learned of Xiang Yingxing's worries, he laughed at him for a night, which made Xiang Yingying depressed.

Because they came to New York for the final pre-game preparation and did not keep their whereabouts secret, after Xiang Yingying and his party arrived at the airport, they were surrounded by hundreds of reporters, and of course there were many fans who came to welcome Xiang Yingying, but most of these fans were Chinese-Americans and international students, and those American fans who liked Xiang Yingying naturally stood on the side of American fighter Jon Jones.

Fortunately, with the help of the airport security staff, these crazy reporters did not cause any trouble to Xiang Yingying, and arrived safely at the Baccarat Hotel Apartment, which the locals call the "Crystal Palace".

The Barak Hotel is the world's first hotel and apartment flagship store established by the luxury crystal brand Baccarat with a history of more than 200 years, and the most important decoration of the hotel interior is 15,000 crystal vessels specially transported from the Baccarat factory in France - huge crystal chandeliers, crystal glass walls, and even wine glasses are made of pure high-grade crystal.

The hotel is located in the heart of Manhattan, New York City, just 2 kilometers from Madison Square Garden, the venue of the Super War. The bottom 12 floors of the 50-storey building are hotels, with a total of 114 rooms, and the 13 floors above are apartments. The front of the hotel is a nearly 40-meter-wide crystal decorative wall, and the store is full of crystal products, which shine inside and outside the hotel at night. From the reception hall to the hotel corridors, rooms, and bathrooms, you can see beautiful and delicate baccarat crystal products of different shapes everywhere.

The cheapest room in the hotel costs about $800 a day, and the rooms are spacious, with the smallest room about two or three times the size of a regular standard room, and several premium suites for $18,000 a day.

This hotel was specially arranged by Xiang Hero to Tang Mu, because he was staying in the property rights of a Chinese company, but more importantly, the cost of this accommodation will be paid by this company.

The company is China's Sunshine Insurance Group, which bought the hotel portion of the building for $230 million in 2015 and opened its doors on July 14. According to STR Analytics, a provider of data for the hospitality industry, the deal broke the record for the highest price per unit of a hotel property in New York. This is another big move by a Chinese company after China Anbang Insurance bought the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, shaking up the real estate industry in New York.

And they sponsored Xiang Hero this time because of the weight of Xiang Hero in the hearts of Chinese people, especially overseas Chinese, like this kind of thing that can quickly improve brand influence, smart Chinese businessmen will never give up.

Therefore, when Xiang Yingxing arrived at the hotel, he was warmly welcomed by the senior management of Sunshine Insurance Group, and they also specially invited many reporters to hold a simple but grand welcome party for Xiang Yingying in the hotel lobby. At the welcome meeting, Xiang Yingying maintained very good patience throughout the whole process, and his face was always filled with a confident smile.

After the welcome party, the senior management of Sunshine Insurance Group personally sent Xiang Yingying to the room before leaving.

Xiang Yingying's room is the largest suite in the hotel, with an area of more than 140 square meters, and the rooms of other personnel are also very good.

Moreover, in order to facilitate Xiang Yingying's preparation in the hotel, Sunshine Insurance Group also deliberately converted a small conference room into a preparation room for Xiang Yingying. In fact, it is small, but it is more than 300 square meters.

All the preparation equipment in the preparation room was temporarily provided by a local Chinese-founded gym in New York, and the only requirement was that its three coaches could participate in the preparation training of the heroes, mainly to learn from the experience.

In this regard, Xiang Hero and the top team agreed without hesitation, because the last ten days are the most critical weight loss period for Xiang Hero.

Speaking of weight loss, Xiang Yingying was simply depressed to death. He thought that after the weight gain was upgraded, the weight loss would not have to be so hard. Who knows, under Borg's careful tuning, with his own desperate efforts, his training weight has reached a staggering 104.9 kilograms. In other words, after more than three months of training, Xiang Hero has increased his weight to 10.8 kilograms. These 10.8 kilograms are not fat, but real muscle.

In the next ten days, the most important task of Xiang Hero was to lose his weight to 205 pounds, that is, within 92.9 kilograms, before weighing through dehydration and training.

12 kg!

Xiang Yingying is also drunk......
