On the second day of the training day, major media outlets rushed to report on Xiang Ying's speech at the training day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing these media reports, those friends who were familiar with Xiang Ying were shocked, they never thought that Xiang Ying, who was a pure martial artist in their eyes, would actually say such philosophical words, which can be said to be a martial arts athlete representing the whole world, and confided in his heart.
Tang Mu, Qu Zimo, Miite, Kang Youpeng and Dong Wenxiu all laughed at Xiang Yingying on the phone. Xiang Yingying was depressed and protested dissatisfied, saying that he just liked boxing, not illiterate, and yesterday's speech was only a feeling.
Dana White's speech before Wedeman's training was also widely praised, and all walks of life gave a very high evaluation to the UFC's home fitness program and catering package, saying that they played a very good role in the promotion of national fitness and are a socially responsible event organization.
In addition, the media also reported that Xiang Yingying publicly shouted in open training, "Weedman is decided, I will knock him out directly." ”
At the same time, the world's major "spinach" companies also give odds of 1:3 for winning or losing.
As soon as the relevant report came out, the fans responded enthusiastically, and the fans who supported Wedman criticized Xiang Yingxing, constantly analyzing his strengths and weaknesses on the forum, and helping Wedman with his moves. Hopefully, Weedman will hit back at Xiang Hero's ignorance with facts and let him know how good a professional martial artist with championship strength can be.
And Xiang Yingying's fans are not to be outdone, except for a small number of foreign fans who are arguing on the basis of reason, his largest fan group, the League of Heroes, has released all their firepower.
Under the all-out attack of Yu Jinxuan and Qu Zimo, the Hero Battalion and the Hero League practiced, and various posts of support for Xiang Heroes flew all over the sky, and soon the one-sided situation was well controlled.
On July 20, as the headline of the 133rd episode of UFC Fight Night, Xiang Yingying, who was preparing for the fight, received a notice from the UFC that in order to better hype the match, a pre-fight press conference was held for him and Wiedman at 2 pm tomorrow.
This is the first time a hero has been treated as a tournament headliner. Based on Xiang Ying's criminal record, Luo An also deliberately taught a lesson to Xiang Ying, he now represents the top team training camp, and he must pay attention to proportions in what he says and does, and don't let the press conference become a battlefield.
And Dana White also called him and Weedman personally, asking them to come up with the qualities of a professional martial arts athlete. It's okay to have a war of words, but you must restrain your emotions and don't act aggressively and let the current good form go to waste.
The next night, Xiang Hero in a suit and a man in British attire appeared in the multi-purpose hall of the Marriott Hotel in Buffalo Harbour Center, sitting in front of countless cameras.
The press conference was chaired by Dana Blanc, who sat between the two of them, made a brief opening remarks, and then handed over the rest of the time to the reporters on the scene.
While Dana Bai was speaking, Xiang Yingying took a closer look at the reporters in the audience and found several familiar faces.
Song Ming of Penguin Sports, Dan Yan, a beautiful reporter of CCTV Sports, Stany Stanny, a reporter from Sports Illustrated, and James, a reporter from ESPN (American Entertainment and Sports Network) whom he hates the most.
The first question was asked by ESPN's James, who asked Wedman: "Mr. Waedman, last year you ended your three-game losing streak by defeating Gaistum, who is very good on the feet. You're about to face a champion who may be better than Gestrom in striking, have you found a way to win? ”
Weedman smiled very gentlemanly and moved the microphone to his lips and said, "I've watched Xiang fight Gestrum, and his striking skills are excellent, but we're playing in the UFC, it's unrestricted fighting, and I'm going to finish him on the ground." ”
Xiang Yingying was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that Weidman would directly say that he would fight on the ground in front of media reporters, doesn't that mean that he would give up standing.
Widman and Gestran's fight against Geestron at UFC on FOX 25 is the focus of the hero study. When analyzing the opponent, Luo An did an in-depth analysis of this game.
Overall, Weedman did a very good job of implementing the tactics set out before the game. He managed to take Gastrom a couple of takedowns in the first round and used his height and reach to control the distance and tempo, but just towards the end of the round, Gestrum landed a hook that knocked Weedman down, and Gastrum couldn't extend his advantage to finish due to time constraints.
Knowing that he didn't have an advantage on his feet, Weedman was more determined in the second round, and after a couple of takedowns, he spent almost all of his time on top.
In the third round, Gastrum struggled to keep his feet going, but the wrestler took him down again and won by an arm-triangle choke. With that, Widman ended a three-bout losing streak that had left him questioned, and the former middleweight champion regained his winning touch after two years.
James was very satisfied with Wademan's answer, he didn't put down the microphone, and asked directly to Xiang Yingying: "Mr. Xiang Yingying, do you have any different views on Mr. Wade?" ”
Seeing this, Xiang Yingying sneered and said into the microphone: "Weidman is an excellent professional martial artist, and he has also won the UFC middleweight championship that many people have never managed to win in their lifetime. He has also defeated the great 'Spider-Man' Silva twice. I have to say he's the toughest opponent I've faced so far. ”
Xiang Yingying said this, tilting his head sideways and nodding to Wedman, then changed his mind and said, "But don't forget, I'm also a former middleweight champion, but that's in glory fighting." And I voluntarily gave up the title in order to devote myself to the UFC, but I'm going to regain it in the UFC. I'm going to beat the people who stand in the way of me getting the title. ”
Xiang Yingxing's remarks pointing directly at the championship suddenly made the reporters on the scene excited, he didn't pass the level of Weedman in front of him, and he actually bluntly said that he would win the championship, isn't this completely ignoring Wedeman!
This is the Xiang hero they are familiar with! When Xiang Yingxing was speaking just now, the media reporters were still annoyed, how did Xiang Yingxing, who likes to cause trouble, change! Not only did he say such heartfelt words at the open training day, but he also directly sang the praises of his opponent at today's press conference.
But Xiang Yingying's next words made these media reporters sweep away the loss just now, and they instantly became excited.
Xiang Hero is still the same Xiang Hero, he will never change......
