Hearing that Wang Lei was going to hold a K-1 event by himself, Ou Yangming, Cruise and others in the audience were stunned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ou Yangming was stunned for a long time, then spoke: "Lei, I know that you first proposed the concept of K-1 in Xiangjiang, and your idea was shamelessly stolen by the Japanese Ishii Kazu. However, Kazuyoshi Ishii has already registered for the K-1 business, and if you hold it again, he can sue you for infringement, and it will be very troublesome at that time! ”

Wang Lei smiled: "I didn't say that the K-1 tournament was held exactly the same, in fact, the K-1 tournament held by Kazuyoshi Ishii was not the kind I proposed in Xiangjiang, it was just a castrated version, just a boxing and leg fighting competition." I'm going to do a mixed martial arts tournament, Mixed MartialArts, or MMA for short, so I call it M-1, which means Mixed Martial Arts Champion. This is the concept of fighting proposed by Bruce Lee back then, similar to the form of gladiatorial fighting in ancient Greece and fighting in ancient China, the rules treat all martial arts skills equally, so that practitioners of different martial arts schools can compete in the ring under the same rules. Practitioners of boxing, Chinese kung fu, karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai or judo, sumo wrestling and wrestling can participate, kicking and wrestling, chokes, locks and joints can all be used, with fewer rules! ”

What Wang Lei wants to do is actually the ultimate fighting tournament that was originally held two years later, that is, the UFC.

The K-1 tournament was robbed by the Japanese, and UFC Wang Lei didn't want people to snatch it again. Since the Xiangjiang martial arts community is not strong, it is simply up to them.

Anyway, with his current net worth, it's easy to hold a UFC tournament.

Ou Yangming frowned when he heard this, and said disapprovingly: "Isn't this kind of competition rule very dangerous, in case someone dies, the impact is not good!" ”

Wang Lei smiled again when he heard this: "No, in fact, the rules are open, but it is safer, even much safer than boxing or K-1 matches." If it works well, maybe no one will die! ”

This is true, MMA in the previous life is indeed a very safe combat sport, since 93 years ago, it seems that until Wang Lei was reborn, there was only one fatal accident in MMA competition, which is safer than the NBA.

However, there are an average of three fatalities a year in boxing competitions, and sports such as football, rugby, and motor racing kill a lot of people every year, with a dozen or even dozens of deaths every year.

Serious injuries in martial arts matches are basically from blowing, such as a heavy punch to the head in a boxing match, or a kick to the head in Muay Thai, which can easily cause a concussion or hemorrhage and cause death. MMA matches can be used to attack opponents by wrestling, holding and other techniques, which greatly reduces the number of strikes and reduces the danger.

Moreover, the rules have been opened up to allow opponents to be attacked even after falling to the ground, resulting in matches that usually develop into ground grappling or joint and choke skills.

While articulation and grinch can be lethal, MMA rules allow fighters to throw in the towel, so the fight usually ends when danger strikes. So as to achieve the purpose of truly subduing without hurting others.

What's more, MMA matches have eliminated the rule of counting seconds on the ground, and as long as a fighter loses consciousness after being knocked down, the referee can stop the fight, and will not let the fighter continue the fight in a conscious state, resulting in more serious injuries.

Therefore, in previous MMA fights, there were usually only bruises, broken skin or bruises, as well as minor injuries to fingers, toes or faces, and serious injuries such as broken bones or concussions or even vegetative ones are rare.

After listening to Wang Lei's explanation of the rules of MMA matches and the reasons why they are safer than boxing matches, Ou Yangming was persuaded and nodded: "It does sound good, how are you going to hold such a competition?" ”

Wang Lei said: "It will not be too difficult to find a cooperation between the San Francisco municipal government and the TV station, funded by me and invite the contestants to participate, as long as the California Sports Commission agrees." I believe that with my face, the San Francisco Municipal Government and the California Athletic Commission will not refuse, this is an opportunity to increase the popularity of San Francisco and bring benefits, only the benefits are not harmful! ”

Ou Yangming asked again: "How much money do you plan to spend to hold this kind of M-1 competition?" ”

Wang Lei said: "No less than 50 million US dollars, I plan to give the champion 5 million US dollars, and the second and third places also have bonuses. The second runner-up is $1 million, and the third runner-up is 50... No, 600,000 dollars! The Japanese are so stingy that the K-1 tournament has been held three times, and the prize money for the champion has only risen to $500,000. With such a small amount of money, he was so embarrassed to post to me to invite me to compete, and I want to make his K-1 tournament impossible anymore! Uncle Ming, you can find a way to contact the players who signed up for this year's K-1 tournament, tell them the idea of the M-1 tournament and the amount of prize money for the top three, and ask them to give up K-1 and come to San Francisco to participate in M-1. I don't believe the $5 million prize money won't impress them! ”

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I'll give it a try, but the attraction of five million dollars will definitely attract all the players participating in the K-1 competition." But if you do that, the Japanese will hate you to death! ”

Wang Lei said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, they have long hated me to death, but what can they do with me?" ”

"Ahem......" But Scott coughed twice in the audience and asked, "Ray, can I participate in this M-1 competition?" ”

Wang Lei smiled: "Of course, there is no restriction on players in the M-1 competition, as long as you are confident in your strength and in good health, you can participate." Of course, the age limit is over eighteen years old and under fifty years old! ”

Looking at Naleron, Stonebuch, Chekov and others with impatient expressions, Wang Lei said: "You can all sign up too!" However, in this first M-1 competition, the final number of participants was limited to 32. Before that, you'll have to go through the regional knockouts. For example, in the whole of California, there is only one participant! ”

Doesn't that mean that if you want to compete, you have to compete with Naleron first?

Hearing this, Scott couldn't help but look at Nalleron.

And after listening to Ou Yangming's translation, Naleron also looked at Scott, and when the two met their eyes, a spark suddenly appeared!

I only heard Ou Yangming ask again: "Lei, do you want to compete?" ”

When Scott heard this, he immediately abandoned Nalleron and looked at Wang Lei instead.

If Wang Lei also wants to compete, he will have no chance at all.

Although Nalleron is strong, Scott is confident that he will still have a chance to defeat the opponent with the military police grappling skills and special forces fighting skills he learned in the army, but if he is replaced by Wang Lei, he will have no chance at all.

After following Wang Lei for so long, Wang Lei has already figured out his bottom, and if he fights hand-to-hand in the ring, it will be difficult for him to defeat Wang Lei even if he joins forces with Ston Buqi.

But I heard Wang Lei say: "Of course I won't participate, I funded the competition, and the prize money is all from me, if I win the championship in the competition, won't I give myself a bonus?" That's stupid! ”

After a pause, Wang Lei said: "But when the M-1 competition is successfully held by me and has formed an international influence and box office appeal, I will transfer it." I believe that there will be rich people willing to take over, and it will not be too late for me to participate then! ”

Ou Yangming nodded and said, "The idea is very good, I feel that it should be successful!" ”

Of course it will work!

MMA was very popular in the previous life, and later on, it has become no less attractive to the audience than WWE wrestling.

This life is held by him, and there is no reason why it will not succeed!

However, in order to maximize the success of the first M-1 tournament and surpass the K-1 tournament held by Japanese Kazuyoshi Ishii, Wang Lei decided to invite some well-known martial arts masters and professional athletes to participate in the K-1 tournament in addition to poaching the players participating in the K-1 tournament.

For example, the Gracie brothers, who had a relationship and had a fight!

There are also students of the Evergreen Martial Arts Hall of the Master Uncle and the students of the Japanese Jizhen Hall, or people from the Xiangjiang martial arts world!

It's better to bring in Tyson and Foreman...... Well, these two people are too expensive to be invited. However, other lower-priced heavyweights are easier to invite.

Heavyweights like Ray Mercer, Mitchell Muller and Bosa "White Buffalo" Bosa.

If middleweights like Roy Jones Jr. and Hopkins want to participate, Wang won't turn it down, as long as they can make it through the regional knockouts.

……

After returning to the apartment from the boxing gym, Wang Lei didn't care about making love to Zhou Yuwei, and hurriedly wrote out the rules of the UFC competition in his previous life overnight.

After writing the rules, Wang Lei wrote a plan for publicity and hype, increasing influence and audience interest, which were basically jokes from the Internet in his previous life.

After writing seven or eight pages, Wang Lei began to write invitations again.

The first invitation post was written to Master Bolin Changqing, wanting Master Bo to send his best disciples of the Evergreen Martial Arts Gym to participate in the competition, such as the Zhao Peng that Ou Yangming said when he went to the Evergreen Martial Arts Hall in New York for the first time.

The second and third invitations Wang Lei wrote for the Jizhen branch in San Francisco and New York respectively, it is true that Jizhen is very strong, but it is difficult for disciples who practice Jizhen Jarate to gain an advantage in MMA events, and they only have to be abused.

The fourth invitation Wang Lei wrote to the brothers of the Gracie family in Brazil, the Gracie brothers are very strong, and most of them can win the championship in this kind of MMA competition, but Wang Lei doesn't want to block them, which will make him appear weak or petty.

What's more, I didn't participate in this year's M-1 competition!

After thinking about the fifth invitation post, Wang Lei wrote to Mr. Chen in Xiangjiang and asked him to help transfer it to the Xiangjiang martial arts community.

Although Wang Lei is very uninterested in the Xiangjiang martial arts world, he still hopes that the Xiangjiang martial arts community can send a master to participate in the competition.

On the sixth invitation post, Wang Lei thought for a long time, and thought of Fido Amybenko, who was known as "the strongest man in six billion" in his previous life.

However, Fido seems to have been born in '76, and he is still a little kid, so he definitely can't participate in the M-1 competition. But there are many Sambo masters in Russia, and there should be other masters without Fido, so it shouldn't be difficult to invite one to compete.

The problem is that it is now 91 years, and the Soviet Russia in the previous life will disintegrate at the end of this year, and I don't know if their Sambo masters can come to the United States.

Wang Lei decided to give it a try, if Russia can come to a Sambo master to participate, this M-1 competition will be full of topicality and attractiveness, who let the United States and the Soviet Union have been in a cold war for so many years!

The seventh invitation post, Wang Lei wrote to Bill Valles, this guy is known as the god of war in the martial arts world, the most famous top leg master in the American martial arts industry, professional karate heavyweight champion, known as "super foot", has never been defeated in the ring for fifteen years, and after retiring in the 80s, he set up a fighting school as a fighting instructor and trained countless combat fighting masters.

Bill Valles is a contemporary of Bruce Lee who has been retired for 10 years, and Wang Lei doesn't expect him to be born again, but only wants him to send a student to compete.

After writing seven invitation posts in a row, Wang Lei really couldn't think of anyone else to invite, and he finally thought of Zhou Yuwei who was waiting for him in bed, so he hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a bath.

……

The next day, Wang Lei came to the Sadler Boxing Gym with the rules and plan of the M-1 tournament, summoned Ou Yangming, Cruise, McKale and others to discuss together, and finally decided on a plan.

Sadler and Arum must be told at this time.

Fortunately, although Sadler and Arum were surprised by Wang Lei's idea, they did not object to the matter after knowing that Wang Lei himself would not participate, but were willing to help.

So, with the help of these people, Wang Lei started the operation of the M-1 competition.

First, go to the San Francisco Municipal Government and the California Council on Movement to apply for their consent and support.

Fortunately, Wang Lei's face is indeed big enough now, and this is indeed a good thing for San Francisco, with him personally intervening, the San Francisco Municipal Government and the California Athletic Commission quickly approved the matter.

Then Ou Yangming also brought good news to Wang Lei, and after secret contact, he successfully persuaded several players who were going to participate in this year's K-1 tournament to come to San Francisco to participate in the M-1 tournament.

Among those who oppose the water are the multi-time K-1 champions of the original timeline, Peter "The Dutch Tyrant" Azzi and Ernest Hust, nicknamed "Mr. Perfect".

There is also the winner of last year's K-1 tournament and the runner-up the year before, Dutch leg master Rob Carman, nicknamed "The Iron Foot".

Hearing the names of these three people, Wang Lei immediately laughed "haha".

The three star players who participated in the K-1 tournament were attracted to his M-1 tournament and gave up K-1 to come to San Francisco to participate in his M-1, but to see if the K-1 tournament could be continued, and I don't know if Kazuyoshi Ishii will be so angry that he will commit suicide after knowing about this incident!

After many discussions with Ou Yangming and others, Wang Lei finally set the date of the M-1 tournament on October 1, and the venue was the largest stadium in San Francisco.

There is still half a year to go, and within this half a year, the M-1 competition must be hyped, and it is better to make it known to everyone in the United States.

So, Wang Lei held a press conference.

With Wang Lei's current fame and influence, as long as he says that he wants to hold a press conference, even if he doesn't know the content, more than 80 percent of the media in the United States will be interested and send people over directly.

As a result, on the day of the press conference, Sadler's boxing gym was crowded with 400 media reporters, almost overwhelming the gym.

Wang Lei, who was already full of experience in the press conference, sat in the chief and waited for the media reporters to calm down before nodding to Ou Yangming, who was the press officer, and asked him to introduce the content of the press conference to the media reporters.

M-1 tournament?

At the mention of this term, the 400 media reporters were at a loss. (To be continued.) )
