Chapter 10: The United States and the Soviet Union Compete for Hegemony

Chen Sheng stood in the center of the cage with his hands raised high, and the members of his coaching staff had already rushed into the octagon, and the two strong men hugged Chen Sheng's legs and lifted Chen Sheng up hard, celebrating around the court.

The Chinese TV broadcasters on the sidelines were explaining the scene hoarsely, and their voices were about to shout.

For the first time, a Chinese person stood on the final venue of the world's highest martial arts competition, representing all Chinese men to compete for the title of the world's strongest man, and all the fallacies about racial differences will be swept into the dustbin of history after this match, Chen Sheng's victory is not only a victory in one game, but also contains far more significance than one game.

All the martial arts fans on the sidelines were cheering for Chen Sheng's victory, some from China, because Chen Sheng made them proud and proud, and it was the common voice of all Chinese fighting fans on the scene.

There were also other people from all over the world, who thanked Chen Sheng for bringing them the best martial arts show and the harvest at the casino, and smiled as they raised the gambling ticket slip in their hands.

The celebration continued, and seeing that the time was almost there, the referees and staff on the sidelines began to enter the arena to negotiate with Chen Sheng's team manager, urging him to leave the court quickly, vacate the venue, and prepare for the next fight.

Chen Sheng and the coaching staff began to leave the field, wearing their own unique uniforms, and Chen Sheng, supported by the coaching staff and bodyguards, got off the court and prepared to return to the lounge.

When walking through the passage, every step forward, there will be thunderous applause, and many Chinese fighting fans ran to both sides of the passage to congratulate Chen Sheng loudly.

"Chen Sheng will win, Chen Sheng is good"

"Come on Chen Sheng, we love you"

Even some of the older fans were in tears, saying "Thank you, Chen Sheng."

Walking through these enthusiastic martial arts fans, Chen Sheng was also very moved to see them supporting him so wholeheartedly, and kept greeting the fans on both sides, sending his autographs from time to time, or high-fives with the fighting fans who stretched out their hands, and even some fans leaned out from the railings on both sides to hug Chen Sheng, some macho men and beautiful women.

Chen Sheng responded to all the martial arts fans one by one, and the return trip seemed to be very slow, and the stadium staff kept urging in the back, but there were too many people on both sides to get up quickly.

This kind of scene surprised the TV broadcasters on the sidelines, but they didn't expect Chen Sheng's popularity to be so high, which they didn't expect.

The tournament organizers are happy to see this happen, and the more popular a fighter is, the better they do their job, and the more dollars they will naturally earn.

Finally reaching the entrance, Chen Sheng and the members of the coaching staff stood at the entrance, turned around, waved to all the martial arts fans present, and turned into the backcourt rest area, the curtain at the door was lowered, and the huge applause in the arena could still be heard.

Back in the lounge, Chen Sheng untied the bandages on his hands with the help of the coaching staff, relaxed his hands, and put on new bandages again before the next game.

Sit down and rest to prepare to summarize the game, and then wait for the next opponent to decide, and play the last stop.

Chen Sheng returned to the lounge, and the atmosphere inside the stadium was still warm.

There is a magic show going on at the scene, and it is the world's most famous magician, David Murray. Copperfield is performing magic, he is a perennial guest of MGM, signed a long-term contract for perennial performances, and this is almost his home field, and the huge billboard outside the MGM hotel has David Murphy printed on it. Copperfield's monumental portrait.

The spectacular magic kept the crowd enthusiastic and not deterred by the interruption between the two fights.

The interval between was twenty minutes, and the time passed quickly, and under the wonderful magic show, the time was fast up, and all the live audience was for David. Copperfield's wonderful performance was applauded.

It's time for the magic show, and Copperfield takes an elegant curtain call on the stage.

The second fight is about to begin, and the audience in the stadium is about to shift gears, transforming from a fantasy magic show to a bloody fighting environment.

The transition was incredibly natural and smooth, and the cheers for the fighters were already ringing in the room.

After the field was cleared, the lights of the stadium began to dim, and immediately the fighters were about to enter, and the searchlight-like lights shone directly on the entrance to the stadium, and the first to appear was still the blue player, the Russian Nemov.

The host of the scene is still Jeff. Houston, in the midst of its passionate voice, the curtain opened, and Nemov walked onto the court with his arms wagged in the company of the coaching staff.

The majestic national anthem of the former Soviet Union sounded, and Nemov and the members of the coaching staff, escorted by bodyguards, strode towards the octagon.

Like the hegemony of the former Soviet Union, Nemov also maintained his hegemony in the fighting arena, and today is another battle to defend his hegemony.

Nemov, who was domineering in the entrance passage, turned a blind eye to the cheers of the fighting fans on both sides, like a piece of 10,000-year-old ice from Siberia, and walked through the passage to the edge of the octagon cage with a blank face, making everyone feel a chill.

Opening the door of the Octagon, Nemov entered it and walked straight to his blue corner to wait for the arrival of his opponent, the American, and the coach massaged his body to keep him in good shape.

Then, the lights shone on the entrance on the other side, and Houston's passionate voice sounded again, introducing the American Kidd to the entrance, and the TV screen above the stadium was also showing Kidd's basic stats and battle video.

After all, it was the American homeland, and as a native American player, Kidd received the biggest applause since the start of the game, which was deafening.

The curtain opened, Kidd and his coach walked into the field, in the sound of black hip-hop music, Kidd followed the music and walked to the octagon, all the Americans on the scene were cheering for him, and a large number of cameras were also shooting at him.

Kidd is constantly posing at the camera, more like a movie star than a fighter.

The music is full of profanity, especially the American scolding at the beginning of FXXX, which is endless, and people from other countries and cultural backgrounds seem to frown a little when they hear it, and some of them may also feel embarrassed and have a little red face.

Kidd jumped to the octagon cage to the music, and the courtside staff opened the cage, and Kidd entered it, walked to his red corner, and looked at Nemov defiantly.

The two of them are in the spotlight for this fight, one is a native American fighter who has rarely lost in recent years and is a very famous gladiator.

The other is the best martial artist in the world in recent years, who has never failed, and Nemov is a fanatical admirer of Stalin in the former Soviet Union, advocating the hegemonic logic of 'might makes right'.

The United States has always been a loyal supporter of this policy, and it is currently the largest power in the world.

So the confrontation between the two of them is more like the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, which has already passed. It's very topical, and all the media are following this game in the hope of finding what they want from this game.

Countless cameras and cameras were focused on the fighters inside the Octagon, flashing like they never stopped.

The passionate voice of host Houston echoed throughout the court, and he introduced the rules and precautions of the court in the octagon, and then introduced the three referees on the sidelines, and the referee in the octagon.

With the basic introduction now in place, the bout is about to begin, and the staff in the arena and members of the coaching staff of the fighters on both sides begin to exit the field.

The venue was handed over to the referee Hao Bo. Dean, from now on, he is the biggest and most authoritative enforcer in the Octagon Cage, and everyone has to obey his command.

Calling the two fighters to the center of the cage, Dean explained the rules and do's and don'ts of the ring to both sides, as well as reminding both sides to obey their own law enforcement during the fight, and while these are all prescribed procedures, every fighter knows them, but they are emphasized before each fight, and these are the rules.

The door of the octagon opened, and the bikini girl held the first round sign high into the cage, circled the octagon, and then drilled out of the octagon, and the match was about to begin.

Dean walked over to the center of the Octagon and motioned for the two fighters to prepare.

Just listen to the 'ding' bell and the game begins.

Dean stepped back and did not affect the game between the two sides.

As soon as the American Kidd came up, he took the initiative to attack and rushed straight towards Nemov.

Nemov adjusted his position in small steps, keeping himself in the best defensive position, his hands half-clenched into fists, protecting his face and chest.

Kidd quickly closed the distance and attacked Nemov's protective arms with straight left and right, and Nemov watched carefully in his defense, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack.

Kidd's initial attack didn't open Nemov's defense, and he took a step back to pull away and adjust his breath and form for the next attack.

But Nemov wouldn't give him a chance to breathe, and when Kidd wanted to retreat and adjust, Nemov followed up with half a step, alternating between left and right, two fierce straight punches that hit Kidd's face area.

Kidd raised his arm to defend it, and with the impact of great force, his body moved back slightly, and Nemov's high kick followed, and the high kick of his right leg hit Kidd on the left side of the head, and Nemov's calf hit Kidd's head head.

The Americans on the sidelines were worried about Kidd, and if that high kick hit Kidd in the head, it would definitely be the end of the match, the result of the knockout.

Kidd, who was at the downside, relied on good physical fitness to dodge the opponent's fatal strike in the final moments. And with his right leg, he also swept Nemov into his footing leg with a low whip leg.

Nemov's right leg retracted in time and he quickly took a half-step back to dodge Kidd's attack.

Neither side took advantage, and they distanced themselves a little and entered a state of confrontation.

The two fighters are back and forth on the ring, and the supporters on both sides are also back and forth off the court, but they are all yelling at each other and not moving.

The Americans are the majority, the scene is dominant, although the Russians are fewer, but the momentum is not inferior to the Americans, especially the Russians are mostly strong men with five big and three thick, all of them are fierce and vicious, and the Americans maintain a balance of power.
