Chapter 317: Pre-Race Publicity Activities (Part II)
Finally, Dana White gave a brief introduction to the fighters in the 134th episode of UFC Fight Night and the other fights, and then signaled for reporters to start asking questions.
This is the first time that UFC has entered the Chinese market, so it has attracted hundreds of domestic and foreign media to visit, such as ESPN, Sports Illustrated, FOX Sports, CBS Sports, BT Sport and ESM European Sports Media League.
The domestic media is even more exaggerated, Sina Sports, NetEase Sports, Sohu Sports, CCTV Sports, People's Daily Sports Online, Qianlong Sports, TOM Sports, Yahoo Sports, China Net Sports and Penguin Sports have come to a large wave.
The first question was asked by a beautiful reporter from CCTV: "Mr. Luke, I heard that this is your first time in China, can you share with us your feelings about China?" ”
Luke Lockhold smiled and nodded, and said, "China is a very beautiful country, and the people of Chinese are very friendly. When I got off the plane, I was surprised to find that many Chinese friends were welcoming me at the airport. I didn't expect so many friends to like me in distant China. ”
"I don't have much time for the past two days, and I plan to go to the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square after the game. I just hope that in the days when I go out to play, there will be no smog in Beijing. ”
Luke Lockhold also winked at the beautiful reporter after finishing speaking.
The beautiful reporter smiled and said, "Don't worry! You won't be disappointed. ”
Immediately afterwards, ESPN's James who asked the question, the big media reporter was given preferential treatment, in addition to CCTV, the second one was on him.
"Hey! Hello Luke! Can you share with us about your preparations during this time? ”
Luke Lockhold and James were more familiar, so he smiled and said, "Hi! James, I knew you were going to be a place like this. The schedule for this competition is a bit tight, and the preparation time is no more than two months, but I am okay, I have been training well for the past six months. ”
"So, all this time I've been saying publicly that all I need now is an opponent to walk into the Octagon and close the door on the cage, it's a combat sport, it's a sport that has been accused too much, so I just want to show you what the sport is really like."
"My game is clean and pure, and I love the sport. So when I knew that my opponent was a hero and that I was playing on his home turf, I was even more excited. I've been hungry for a long time, and I need a win to appease my thirst. ”
"Luke! Doomed to disappoint, the winner of this game can only be me. Xiang Yingying didn't wait for the reporter to ask a question, so he aggressively spoke back to the microphone in front of him.
Luke Lockhold didn't expect Xiang Yingying to be so eager to do it with him, smiled disdainfully, and countered on the spot: "The guy next to me is not bad, but unfortunately, he met me who was thirsting for victory." I'm going to kick him in the ass and break him completely.
"He doesn't always talk about winning all of them, but he doesn't want to think about how many fights he's only played. It's not the last 10 fighters in the UFC, so I'm going to put that in the fight and give him a taste of what it's like to lose. ”
"I've never lost before, but I've never lost twice in a row, and I'm not going to be in that situation at the UFC, so I have to win this fight. I didn't come to the UFC to be a stepping stone for anyone else, not even his home court. I'm going to work my way up to becoming a champion and prove to the world that I'm the best MMA fighter, and that's why I'm in this sport. ”
After Luke Lockhold made a counterattack very arrogantly and domineeringly, he looked at Xiang Yingying defiantly. He doesn't actually have any opinion on Xiang Yingying, he has a special opinion on the UFC treating him as a stepping stone for Xiang Ying.
So, he's going to punch the UFC in the face, don't you want me to be a stepping stone to a hero? I'm going to crush this stepping stone in front of the whole world, both off and on the field.
The guests, who were accustomed to seeing the scenes of domestic athletes loving each other and being humble to each other, also widened their eyes and stared at the two people on the stage interestingly.
Especially those movie stars, who are used to pretending to be subtle, when have they ever seen such a hot mutual fight! It's simply shirtless and merciless.
and these reserved guests, those reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic are already overjoyed, and they don't need to guide them at all, these two people are going to pinch each other directly. Xiang Hero, who is known for his hot temper, how to deal with Luke Lockhold's counterattack.
Xiang Yingying really did not disappoint them, as soon as Luke Lockhold's voice fell, Xiang Yingying said disdainfully: "Playing more games does not mean that the strength is stronger, no matter what, the three guys I defeated with a good ranking will soon be the fourth, I don't think he can be better than Weidmann, although he has defeated Weidmann." ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Yingying looked at Luke Lockhold with the same provocation, and said confidently: "Seriously, I think he is a very good player. He's one of the top contenders in the middleweight division. He's got great technique, a long reach, and he's dangerous for anyone. Of course, none of these people have been able to give me a sense of danger so far, at least not in the middleweight division. ”
"I feel like I can crush anyone with my body in the middleweight division, and that's what I use when I fight. So, I think Luke is going to change his style of play, and he's going to want to drag the fight to the canvas because he knows that my power can finish him at any time. But what I'm trying to say is that he thinks he'll take advantage of him by dragging me into the ground? Then he might as well try it!"
As soon as Xiang Yingxing's words came out, the audience was in an uproar, what an arrogant and confident counterattack! Not only did Luke Lockhold spur on, but he also piggybacked on other contenders in the middleweight division.
When everyone in the Hero Camp heard this, especially Luo An, Mitte, and Tang Mu, they smiled proudly like old foxes.
Xiang Yingying pointed out that "Luke will change his previous style of play", because they deliberately asked Xiang Hero to throw it to stimulate Luke Lockhold, hoping to interfere with the development of the opponent's game strategy. Of course, these experienced fighters are not very good at getting hit, but it is good to stimulate them.
